>>>Was it 1972 when President Hussein started appearing as "Iraqi dictator" in the Western press? Because he suddenly gave the wrong answer to the question of ownership of their oil?

>>>And this claim that the foreign companies would keep 75% of the profits only as long as it takes to recoup their cost of developing the fields... that's endless. Halliburton alone is capable of misplacing nine billion in a year. They'd also include any cost for the infinite array of security forces, their beefed up Hummers, company jets flying around on a whim, bribes lobbying costs, bribes incentives to Iraqi MPs who would supposedly control them... this could go forever. And after that, what, 20%? How much do they make on Saudi oil?
>>>
>>>All your oil are belong to us.
>>
>>Why do they hate us so much?

>Who, Iraqis or oil companies?

Every country that has had this stunt pulled on them in the last 50 years.
