記事題名：Carving Up the Oil Industry Pie
イラク戦争後のイラクの石油をめぐる思惑を読む上で
役に立つ一つの記事か。
そもそも米国と英国にとって
サダムはどうでもよかったはず。
大量破壊兵器問題なんてどうでもよかったはず。
クルド族攻撃のケミカルアリなんでどうでもよかったはず。
すべてはイラクの地面の下が大事でその強奪のための
名目にすぎないとするなら。。。。
今はいよいよ牙を剥き出しに目的に向かって
突進してくのではないだろうか。
既成事実をでっちあげて本物にしていく。
うそでもなんでもええ。。これがpolicyや。
なら今戦争動機とブッシュの背後に誰がいたのか、
これからもっと鮮明に見えてくるのかもしれない。
逃げていくパンツ一丁のイラク兵のことを考えている
時ではない。
孤軍奮闘のサハフフハフハ情報相をぼうっと見てるときではにない。
どうもヨルダンに住むIssam Al-Chalabi（元イラク石油相）
がワシントン好みかな？
会の名前：a State Department-sponsored Oil and Energy Group
場所：Jurys Clifton Ford Hotel in London
When:???
誰が参加したか：not disclosed
あのヤマニも入っているみたいね。
Key sentence:
Bush administration officials said they expect new leadership to emerge by consensus from Iraq's engineers and managers who survived under Hussein, and will not be picked by the United States.
イラク人でいったい誰にイラク石油をことを任せるのが
一見イラク人がイラクの資源をコントロールするかのごとく
見せておいて結局はブッシュ政権の背後にいる誰かを
喜ばせることになるのか。。。。
ここでいう”ワシントン”とは一体誰をさすのか？
この記事で書いてある人物は
この人かな。↓
Key person
Issam Al-Chalabi, a former Iraq oil minister living in exile in Jordan

Carving Up the Oil Industry Pie
Exiled Iraqis Seek Input in Decision on Sector's Postwar Management

Former senior Iraqi oil officials who fled President Saddam Hussein's regime ended a meeting in London over the
weekend with a declaration that their country's petroleum wealth should be managed by Iraqis for Iraqis.
But which Iraqis will direct Iraq's oil industry, where they will come from and who will choose them are some of most
critical and unsettled issues of post-war preparations.
The Iraqi exiles and opposition leaders who make up a State Department-sponsored Oil and Energy Group met
privately Friday and Saturday at Jurys Clifton Ford Hotel in London. The group's membership has not been officially
disclosed.

The group's senior member is former Iraq oil minister Fadhil Chalabi, executive director of the Center for Global
Energy Studies, a research group founded by former Saudi Arabian oil minister Sheik Zaki Yamani. The membership
includes Iraqis who long to return to their country to aid in its rebuilding.
The group's purpose is not to pick exiled Iraqis for roles in a postwar oil industry, meeting participants said. The group
serves only as an advisory panel.
Complicating this process is a fervent intention of Iraqi oil managers who have remained in Iraq to have a strong voice
in the future of their industry, rather than turning it over to U.S. government officials, American oil executives or
expatriates who fled Hussein, some analysts said.
Walid Khadduri, editor-in-chief of the Middle East Economic Survey and an authority on Mideast oil politics, said: "I've
talked to many Iraq professionals -- the Iraqis who have been running the industry." Among them, "there is quite a lot
of resentment to bringing in foreigners to run the industry," and a resistance to having Iraqis returning from London or
New York take over, he said.
Bush administration officials said they expect new leadership to emerge by consensus from Iraq's engineers and
managers who survived under Hussein, and will not be picked by the United States.
Iraq's Persian Gulf neighbors have their own misgivings about relying on Iraq's current oil ministry officials. Issam
Al-Chalabi, a former Iraq oil minister living in exile in Jordan, has maintained close ties with Iraq's current petroleum
engineers and managers. He is regarded by some Washington policy analysts as a logical candidate to help put Iraq's
oil industry back on its feet after the war.
But it was Al-Chalabi who ran Iraq's oil ministry in 1990, when Hussein's aggressive oil policies set the stage for the
invasion of Kuwait, a role that may make Al-Chalabi unacceptable to countries on Iraq's borders, analysts said.
"You'd have to go back pretty far to find someone who had never professed some loyalty to Saddam," said an official
close to the issue. "The question is, how far back; whom do you forgive and who does the forgiving?"
Administration officials have described a still-indefinite process of putting Iraq's oil industry back together, beginning
with a reconstruction and security campaign directed by the U.S.-led military forces.
That would be followed, when conditions permitted, by an Iraqi-run "interim authority," that would include Iraqis now
working in the industry and returning exiles, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice said.
"Iraqi [energy] personnel and organizations will be involved from the beginning to the maximum extent possible," a
senior administration official said Friday, elaborating on Rice's comments.
The official, who requested anonymity, said some current Iraq oil managers would continue to hold senior
management positions. He would not discuss roles that U.S. or other non-Iraqi oil experts might play, but said they
would be chosen openly and would work for the benefit of Iraq.
In the third phase, Iraq's long-term oil policies would be set by a permanent government chosen by Iraqis, Rice said.
The Iraq Oil and Energy Group concluded at the London meeting that Iraq should remain a member of the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, but should be free to increase its production without regard to OPEC
quotas to hasten the country's reconstruction, an Agence France-Presse report said yesterday.
The French news service quoted Dara Attar, a Iraq Kurd oil consultant, as saying that Iraq would no longer run the oil
industry through a state-controlled monopoly, and would seek and welcome foreign investment.
"We are going to 'demonopolize' the oil," inviting foreign companies to invest directly in development of new oil fields,"
Attar was quoted as saying.
High on the list of unknowns is how the 40,000 Iraqis who worked in Iraq's oil ministry would respond to a new
post-war oil leadership, said Raad Alkadiri, an analyst with PFC Energy, a Washington consulting firm.
"The idea that the United States can go in and run Iraq for any length of time ignores . . . the sensitivity that Iraqis
have had in the past about the control of their oil fields. It's a key part of Iraqi nationalism," he said.
