Iraq also could be a swing producer. I think this is actually inconvenient for the US in terms of getting the Russians totally onside about Iraq, but then the Russians aren't as dependent as Saudi or some other oil prducers on oil revenue, so I expect after some horse trading Russians will come around. Yeah, the Russian government makes a huge chunk of its revenues from the energy sector. The Ruskies are probably afraid an American Iraq will pump oil like mad and drive the price of oil, and hence Russian revenues, through the floor. Derek
