Sunni Official in Anbar - Please Develop Our Oil!
WASHINGTON - Declaring near-victory against al-Qaida, Sunni officialsfrom Iraq’s Anbar province laid out Friday what they want now from the United States: money to rebuild its battle-damaged cities, help expanding its police force by a third and private U.S. investment in its oil reserves.
…
While Sunni territory is not known for its oil reserves, recent studies have found increased estimates of modest deposits. Al-Alwani said he invites private investors from the U.S. to help develop Anbar’s oil and natural reserves, located in a southern region called Akaz.“It’s just sitting there, waiting for somebody to make use of it,” said al-Alwani.
Hilarious. You simply can’t make this stuff up.
Ah yes Mr. Al-Alwani but the minute those companies make a move the they’ll be accused of aiding and abetting the “War for Oil”. Paging Haliburton… paging Haliburton.
