You keep saying that as if it meant something in the context of this conversation. Its their country, which is why we are negotiating deals, with their government. "Its their country", isn't an argument against making such a deal, or that such deals are sinister, or that they are bad for Iraq. There's just one problem with this Bush fiction: it's rather hard to do a serious negotiation over oil fields when your country is occupied by one of the source countries and was only recently occupied by more than one. Such arms length negotiations are really only believable (which is different from whether they will occur) if the US is not occupying Iraq. Let's check back on this issue on a couple of years (if Obama is elected) and, most likely, never if McCain is elected.
