“”“But Iraq is actually sharing oil revenue. … In fact, (it is) very similar to what is likely to happen if the bill as currently envisioned is passed,” he said.””
Weasel words. Another loss for Bush. The most important, basic aspect of politicial reconciliation still unresolved. Bush failed to impose an equal oil sharing deal, his character flaw of hoping his subjects, the Iraqis, will decide for themselves and make a fair deal. The Kurdish and Shi’a elites are just waiting us out to make their unequal deal.
Actually weasel words would be if someone maintained oil revenue sharing was happening because a law was passed, even if the money wasn’t flowing.
