Well folks, and especially you Republicans out there, the entire meaning of the Iraq invasion and occupation has finally come full circle, and strangely, coincides with our pullout of combat troops this week.

The Iraq oil ministry has announced that for the first time in thirty years, Iraq will begin selling oil leases!

Not since Saddam Hussein nationalized the oil fields of Iraq has any foreign entity been entitled to the riches beneath the sands of Iraq.....until now.

Anyone hazard to guess who's getting some of those oil leases? I'll leave that to your fertile imaginations.

Anyone hazard to guess if this will result in lower oil/gas prices for the United States. I think not.

I have just one thing to say to the Bush Crime Family:

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
