Iraqis Have Full Control of Their Oil
Iraq Fact of the Day
The Iraqi Ministry of Oil is now under the full control of the
Interim Iraq Government. During a tour of the al-Doura oil refinery,
Iraqi Prime Minister Allawi said to employees, "In the past, Iraqi oil
was used in building palaces, buying weapons to achieve one person's
goals. Today the most important natural resource has been returned to
Iraqis, to serve all Iraqis." The transition of this important
ministry is another important step toward Iraqi sovereignty.
