Iraq to sign oil deals with China, France
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BAGHDAD, May 10: Iraqi oil minister Amir Muhammad Rasheed said in remarks published on Saturday that Iraq would soon sign oil deals with China and France to develop huge oilfields in southern Iraq.
"Contracts will be signed shortly with Chinese and French firms to develop a number of oilfields (in the South)," said Rasheed, who was quoted by Iraqi newspapers.
Chinese state-run companies want to develop the billion-barrel Ahdab field while the French ELF Aquitaine and Total have agreed in principle with Iraq to sign for development respectively of the Majnoon and Nahr Umar fields. Iraq is under UN sanctions imposed for its 1990 invasion of Kuwait. The curbs prevent foreign investment in oil. To alleviate Iraqis' sufferings under the sanctions, the United Nations has allowed Baghdad since December to sell $2 billion of oil over six months to buy urgent needs.
Last month Iraq and Russia signed a deal under which Moscow is expected to develop seven billion to eight billion barrels of reserves in the southern Qurna oilfield.
Rasheed said the contract would bring Iraq total revenue of $4 billion a year.
Iraq and Turkey are expected to sign in Baghdad an agreement to set up a gas pipeline between the two countries to sell Iraqi gas to Ankara. The agreement will be signed by Rasheed and visiting Turkish Energy Minister Recai Kutan.
The oil minister said Italian companies were interested in developing al-Nasiriya oilfield in southern Iraq.
He said the field's production capacity was put around 300,000 barrels per day (bpd).
Rasheed said Iraqi oil terminals in the Gulf were ready to handle six million bpd. Iraq is currently exporting under the oil deal a total of 500,000 to 600,000 bpd.

| JINSA Behind Drive To Cover-Up Israel Spy Scandal:
JINSA (Jewish Institute of National Security Affairs) is the same cabal of Israel Firsters (of whom chicken hawks Dick Cheney, Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz are associated) which has hijacked the Bush regime and is driving us to the coming war on Islam (beginning with the invasion of Iraq) for Israel and oil (as the JINSA Israel First agenda is going to increase the risk of US experiencing further terror attacks in the UK and USA as well as in Europe):

Cover-Up Israeli Spy Scandal

(EIRNS) - One of the "Mega" agencies that mobilized to quash the Fox TV pick-up of our Israeli spy scandal was JINSA, the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs. JINSA President and CEO David Steinmann is also a director of CAMERA (Committee for Accurate Middle East Reporting in America), the group that actually staged the e-mail, fax, letter, and phone call mobilization that squeezed Fox TV, to the point that they removed the transcripts of the four Carl Cameron segments from their own web site. While CAMERA lists Tom Lantos among its advisors, along with Sharon cabinet minister Natan Sharansky, it is JINSA that is the real hotbed of "Mega" and "X Committee" clout, particular inside the Pentagon. On its own website, JINSA boasts that "Only one think tank puts the U.S.-Israel strategic relationship {first} -- JINSA!" JINSA lists among its directors: Richard Perle, Steven Bryen (whose wife, Shoshana Bryen is still one of the few full-time JINSA employees), Max Kampelman, Jeanne Kirkpatrick, Jack Kemp, Michael Ledeen, Joshua Muravchik, Kenneth Timmermann, and James Woolsey. Beyond these hardcore "X Committee" operatives, JINSA's board also includes a dozen or more retired flag grade U.S. military officers, including Lt. Gen. Anthony Burshnick (USAF), Gen. Crosbie Saint (USA), Maj. Gen. Lee Downer (USAF), Adm. Leon Edney (USN), Gen. John Foss (USA), Adm. David Jeremiah (USN), Adm. Jerome Johnson (USN), Maj. Gen. Jarvis Lynch (USMC), Rear Adm. Sumner Shapiro (USN). JINSA makes no bones about the fact that it is recruiting an Israeli fifth column inside the U.S. military command. They sponsor frequent all-expense-paid junkets to Israel for retired officers, which are co-sponsored by the Israeli Defense Force; they run an exchange program for military academy cadets at West Point, Annapolis and the Air Force Academy with military institutes in Israel; and they host lecture programs at all the military institutions in the U.S. where they bring in top IDF and Israeli intelligence officials. One of the top figures on the JINSA lecture circuit is Dore Gold, who is a top aide to Sharon and is about to come to Washington as the Israeli ambassador. JINSA's output of policy papers and press releases also makes clear that they are leading proponents of the "Clash of Civilizations," and the drive to lure the U.S. into a suicidal military alliance with an Israeli marcher lord state. Typical of JINSA's operations of late are their sponsorship of a series of lectures by Iraqi National Congress honcho Chulabi, and their Sept. 13 press statement, calling for the U.S. to "go beyond bin Laden" to launch military attacks against Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Syria, Sudan, the Palestinian Authority, Libya, Algeria, "and even our presumed friends Saudi Arabia and Egypt." The release demanded that the U.S. bomb Beirut and Damascus, cut military aid to Egypt, and revoke the Presidential ban on assassinations. | | | | | ©2002-2009 WarWithoutEnd.co.uk |
