Iraq Oil Law

The Iraqi Cabinet approved a draft on oil to be sent to the Parliament for final authorization next month. Story here. Once again the US Ambassador Zalmy Khalilzad, one of the few wise people this administration has, was key to getting the Kurds on board.

As of now it appears the measure will pass Parliament.

The real question mark will be whether the lines will be secure enough to be tapped. Oil wells, workers, their equipment are vulnerable, very vulnerable targets to insurgents.
