Iraq Controls Its Oil

Iraq has assumed control of its oil industry ahead of the June 30 handover of sovereignty.

"Today the most important natural resource has been returned to Iraqis to serve all Iraqis," Prime Minister Iyad Allawi said.

"I'm pleased to announce that full sovereignty and full control on oil industry has been handed over to the oil ministry today and to the new Iraqi government as of today."

This was made possible for the first time in recent history because of the so-called imperialist policies of The United States - who attacked Iraq to take away their oil.
