There will be plenty of oil revenues from Iraq in coming years. Iraq might have the biggest oil reserves in the world when all is accounted for. Much of it went unexplored under Saddam for various reasons. Iraqi oil is close to the surface and some of the cheapest to extract. Even if some requires some creative engineering due to neglect over the years, there will still be plenty of oil to take out of the ground in Iraq. Do you really think we'll get an accounting of where all that oil revenue goes? I don't. Once Iraq is stabilized. Anglo/American oil companies will gain enormous contracts on the oil reserves and may or may not share the revs with the Iraqis. Time will tell. We probably won't ever know for sure. Like the average American is going to care who is getting the money from Iraqi oil fields. Most Americans only care that the gasoline is there when they show up at the pump.
