So, to sum up

...the post below, which, though it contains much useful information, appears to be rather disorganized and lacking a coherent point:

There is a "hydrocarbon law" pending before the Iraqi parliament.

This law would give western oil companies unprecedented access to Iraq's oil reserves.

The Bush administration, along with the U.S. military, is exerting tremendous pressure on the Iraqi Parliament to pass the law.

And, while this law may well turn out to be a good thing, overall, for Iraq...

Given the Bush administration's many intimate ties with Big Oil...

The whole thing is what you might call a bit fishy...

Especially in light of the fact that none of the many previous justifications for the invasion of Iraq have turned out to hold any water whatsoever.
