OPEC May Invite Iraq to Oil Meeting
Mon Sep 15,11:37 AM ET

LONDON - OPEC (news - web sites) might invite Iraq (news - web
sites)'s newly installed oil minister to next week's meeting of the cartel
even without prior U.N. recognition of the new interim government in
Baghdad, the cartel's president said Monday.

Such an invitation would mark a milestone in Iraq's rehabilitation as an
oil producer. Iraq hasn't attended meetings of the Organization of
Petroleum Exporting Countries since the U.S.-led invasion this spring,
and it hasn't participated in the group's output agreements since the Gulf
War (news - web sites) of 1991.

OPEC President Abdullah bin Hamad al-Attiyah said he thought the
group should invite Iraq to attend the group's Sept. 24 session in Vienna,
Austria. His comments in Doha, Qatar, appeared to soften OPEC's
long-standing position that an invitation would come only after the United
Nations (news - web sites) recognized the new Iraqi government. They
followed last week's decision by the Cairo-based Arab League to
welcome Iraq's foreign minister to fill Iraq's seat in that organization.

Even if what you think is true i.e. no cheaper oil, you don't think that just MAYBE some Iraqis are going to buy goods imported from the USA with the dollars from the oil they sell? Or are you determined to disagree with everything I post? :-)
