Kucinich: Take oil out of Iraq funds bill


WASHINGTON, March 14 (UPI) -- Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, wants passage of an oil law stripped from a list of Iraq war funding legislation benchmarks due on the House floor next week.

Kucinich announced Wednesday an amendment to Iraq war supplemental funding legislation that would, in part, set six "performance measures" for the Baghdad government in order to receive more funding from Congress later this year.

"We must remove this benchmark from the supplemental and work to ensure any hydrocarbon law put in place is truly the best interests of all Iraqi people," Kucinich said in a statement.

Measure No. 2 requires the Iraqi government adopt and implement "a law to allow oil revenue to be shared with all citizens of Iraq."

1. Why?

Why shouldn't we encourage "a law to allow oil revenue to be shared with all citizens of Iraq."?

Or am I reading this wrong?

3. Ok

So Kucinich is IN FAVOR of encouraging the Iraqis to pass a law to allow oil revenue to be shared with all citizens of Iraq, not opposed. Good.
