Are you aware that Shell is a Dutch company and that BP is British?Originally posted by: Equinox
In case you weren't paying attention, the article YOU linked to, as well as the ones that I linked to state clearly that the contracts are still up for grabs. You then raved about conspiracies.
Are you aware that Shell and BP are attempting to gain 30-year exclusive contracts? Are you aware that within a capitalist society, that is normal behavior? Oh wait - the truth sounds like criticism. Oil companies have much to gain from American protection and control of Iraq's unexplored regions. Following the logic that naturally goes hand in hand with facts, it isn't beyond reason that they also deeply desire to have American protection and control continue.
I'm sure that is all just conspiracy, though. Nope, Nothing to see here, move along.
The claim is that "American" companies are somehow positioned for "exclusive" oil contracts. Well those companies not actually being AMERICAN kind of blows that ignorant claim completely out of the water.
Now stop being stupid and go back to the playground. It's probably recess.
