Remember when we used to talk about how the war in Iraq was about oil? Remember the banners that read "No blood for oil?" Oil has fallen out of the discussion lately, but it's time to bring it back in light of the Iraqi elections scheduled for this Sunday.

The Iraqi Oil Law poll was carried out in June and July by KA Research, and coordinated and analyzed by Custom Strategic Research. Its key conclusion is that Iraqis oppose plans to open the country’s oilfields to foreign investment by a factor of two to one.
