Sorry if already posted - looks like a done deal. What is the delay in disclosing the final vote to the media?


A Shared Stake in Iraq's Future
How the Oil Agreement Points the Way Forward



By Zalmay Khalilzad
March 3, 2007

Under the national hydrocarbon law approved "this week" by Iraq's Council of Ministers, oil will serve as a vehicle to unify Iraq and will give all Iraqis a shared stake in their country's future. This is a significant achievement for Iraqis' national reconciliation. It demonstrates that the leaders of Iraq's principal communities can pull together to peacefully resolve difficult issues of national importance.

Its and old article of when the Cabinet passed the HCL dated March, 3 2007. The HCL now has to pass Parliament. Zalmay Khalilzad is no longer the envoy, Ryan Crocker is.

So Is This Old News And Is It True If Its 3 March

Sorry guys, this is the Cabinet passing it and dated back in March.

While the draft law will need to be enacted by the Iraqi Council of Representatives when it returns from recess, the prospects for passage are excellent because all the major parliamentary blocs are represented in the cabinet. Companion legislation will be required in several areas, and Iraqi leaders hope to complete the entire package of hydrocarbon legislation by the end of May.
