Curiously missing from the Iraq debate

Who will control the oil profits and how this unresolved issue contributes to the violence.

Facts:

*Majority of Iraqis, in poll after poll, believe the USA is there for their oil.

*In drawing up the Iraqi Constitution, Paul Bremer and others wrote into law that Iraq is forbidden to nationalize their own oil.

*The Profit Sharing Agreements (PSA's) being discussed favor foriegn oil company profits over the Iraqi people.


None of this is being discussed, to any depth or length, on the mainstream TV or radio.

Why?
