Iraq could have largest oil reserves

"Could" is the operative word. Oil reserves is probably one of the most lied about stats there is... from countries to companies. And with Iraq negotiating with companies to exploit the resource it sure gives them an incentive to exagerate the value of the "prize".

Then you have the issue of "proven" or "unproven". I was surprised to see Canada as high as it is. If you scroll down it has a chart with Canada second and Iraq 4th.

You could be right about Iraq, but who really knows?
