It’s not only that. Iraq will cooperate, unlike Saudi Arabia, with any OPEC production cuts that are proposed. Hey, Iraq? You’re fucking welcome.

“A reasonable price for oil is 80 dollars a barrel,” said Shahristani on arrival in Cairo to attend a consultative meeting by the OPEC cartel to study slumping crude prices.

“We have to make sure that produced oil is used for consumption and not for storing.

“Iraq would support a decision by OPEC to cut output either here or in Algeria,” the Iraqi minister added.

Does this finally put to rest the ridiculous “war for oil” claims? The country we liberated and rebuilt with American dollars and blood now wants our economy to suffer even more during this difficult time.

I don’t regret the liberation considering how many Iraqis will no longer spend the rest of their lives under tyrannical rule, but come on.
