		<description>It would seem that the  pressure of  Sharastani&#039;s determination to move forward would precipitate action on the stalled Oil Law.

It would be surprising if any western IOC&#039;s would submit serious bids and pay the high bonus&#039; with the legal uncertainty that surrounds this process.

With his troubles with the Legislature in Baghdad it is surprising that Sharastani has not made peace with the KRG. He seems to be battling on two fronts.
