The Real Energy Security Factor

This week was filled with the Petraeus/Crocker/Congress/Bush/benchmark circus. It’s Friday and the Iraq Oil Report will now refrain (OK, I’ll have some good links at the end of today’s report).

The three rings barely touched on oil anyway, with the administration touting the dissemination of oil revenue as a sign of success and Congress pointing to the Iraqi government not passing an oil law as a sign of failure. Neither take into account how weighty the discussions over the law are and its importance to the future of Iraq.
