Former Shell chief to run Iraqi oil industry.
The Bush misadministration will next week appoint big Republican campaign contributor a former head of Shell Oil to run Iraq's oil industry, it was reported today.
"The US Government is setting up Iraq's oil industry to run much like an American corporation, with a chief executive and management team vetted by US officials who would answer to a multinational board of advisers," the Wall Street Journal Europe reported.
Washington has been the subject of sharp criticism that one of the motivations behind its military campaign in Iraq was to gain control of Iraq's oil reserves, estimated to be the second-biggest in the world after those of Saudi Arabia. - - (link via PeteHisey at the BC Forum)
