Not us, we havent been buying iraqi oil for years,

We actually HAVE been buying some Iraqi oil; but it doesn't matter. Oil is a commodity -- it all flows into the commodity markets and is effectively pooled with other oil and sold off. It isn't as though we're trading directly with Iraq; we're just buying it from some unknown seller. It just turns out that we end up buying some oil from Iraq.

I don't think it is the 50% figure the guy mentioned, howeve.r..
