re: you can bet your bippy that it will have Oil under it. Looking at the map of the oil fields, it looks like there is very little under Baghdad province; the big fields are in the old Mosul and Basra provinces. Both the Iraqi and the Saudis have the same problem -- it's not the ruling Sunnis who sit over the oil, it's the Shia, and in Iraq's case, the Kurds as well. So if Jordan just claimed the Sunni areas they wouldn't get much oil, unless someone seriously redraws the map.
