Just in from the "Well I never saw that coming" newsdesk (emotionally twinned with the Muppet News Centre) The US and UK have put a draft resolution to the UN which would see the Allies controlling the Iraqi oil fields.
And in case anyone was thinking of accusing me of bias, I wouldn't be happy if the resolution suggested the UN run it either. But an American will run the country, Americans and British troops do something that could charitably be described as 'keep the peace', and the Americans and British will now control the oil. At what point do the Iraqis get freedom and self determination?
