		<description>Just like OLD SKOOL BOXING was corrupt in U.S.A.  Now their is SO MUCH MONEY in boxing -- there&#039;s NO ROOM for corruption.  After the 2nd round of oil auctions -- there will be SO MUCH MONEY on the table -- corruption will NOT BE TOLERATED by oil majors.  CORRUPTION will be a thing of the past after the 2nd round bidding -- Dec 11-12 2009.</description>

		<description>All the oil Technocrats and the Iraqis at large disapproves KRG Policy on granting Exploration &amp; Production rights to IOC(PSA),where the companies get some control and ownership stake in the oil crude they produce; and supports the Oil minister Dr.Shahristani’s policies in paying oil companies fees for services and work done on Iraq&#039;s oil fields? hence preserving the people wealth and in line with the constitution principle that the oil &amp; gas is the property of all the people and not any faction. All the concerned people of Iraq knows that KRG has been the main objector and the cause of the delay of the proposed Oil&amp; Gas law, plus the fact that KRG contract have not been the product of transparent or accountable competitive tenders.The unilateral pursuit by KRG left the Central Ministry of Oil no choice but to plan a policy of grant of right confined to the rest of the country and to resort to existing laws and regulation in force while the Oil&amp;Gas law has remained stalled.the language used by the KRG minister discredit him and pave the way for the people of Iraq to lessen their sympathy with Kurdstan legitimate rights within unified federal Iraq, and if any official of KRG acts in as a government within government they are mistaken they are part of one Iraq land and purpose,and they should heed to Iraq&#039;s will with all respect they deserves.The exportation of crude oil from Kurdistan Iraq through Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline on condition that the oil to be marketed through SOMO,with the revenues to be transferred to the Ministry of Finance of the central government and KRG bear the expenses of the Oil companies working in the region should have called for celebration instead of challenges and slanders used by Dr. Ashti Hawrami.</description>

		<description>Dr. Shahristani&#039;s policies are illegal and illegitimate!  He violates the Iraqi constitution at every opportunity, and has squandered years of opportunities to develop Iraq&#039;s oil sector.  

It would be great to see Ashti Hawrami and Hussein Shahristani in a boxing match.  My bet&#039;s on Ashti....he has, well... greater reach! But I am sure when Dr. Hawrami knocks him out, Dr. Shahristani will yell &quot;That was illegal!&quot;</description>
