T Boone Pickens bitches about US oil companies not getting a share of Iraqi oil.
Boone, speaking to the newly formed Congressional Natural Gas Caucus, complained that the Iraqi government has awarded contracts to foreign companies, particularly Chinese firms, to develop Iraq’s vast reserves while American companies have mostly been shut out.
We’re entitled to it,” Pickens said of Iraq’s oil. “Heck, we even lost 5,000 of our people, 65,000 injured and a trillion, five hundred billion dollars.”
Boone is one of those Americans who pay a large percentage of the federal tax revenues and he expects a reasonable return.
If to the victors go the spoils , it wasn’t us.
