All the oil pumping is done through the Iraqi Oik Ministry, certain contracts have been given out to several multinationals but the majority of the refinares are been or are currently being rebuilt by American and German companies. The profits from the sale of oil are going back into the oil ministry and to the Iraqi people. 

 Due to current problems with their domestic terror and ethnic tension, refining capacity is still below prewar levels. 

 Contrary to popular belief, America is not stealing the oil or using it to fund our war.  As the former slogan "no war for oil" has proved to be antiwar propoganda. Politics aside, niether politicians nor American oil companies have benefited from Iraqi Oil or the war.

It'd be nice if the profits from all the oil really is going to the Iraqi people. I'd like to see some source listing where the oil is going, who buys it from who, and how much money the Iraqi oil ministry is making compared to those American, European or other oil companies that resell it.

The prase antiwar propoganda is an oximoron. Propoganda is a tool of war.

Yeah right no US entity has 'benefited' or profited from this Iraqi Oil. Are you kidding? The price of oil did go up as far as I remember after the illegal invasion. Don't tell me ExxonMobil's record profit was just coincidence.

Look who dictates what the Iraqi Oil Ministry does and doesn't do? Dah. Of course the Bushes and Halliburton control the oil.

Give them credit for being a bit smarter than directly and fragrantly 'stealing' the oil. The oil revenues go to Iraq of course, or else there would be greater international outrage. Those oil revenues however go into funding the 'fight' against al-CIAda. The sub-standard 'training' of the Iraqi Police and Army requires money to keep the perpetual cycle of chaos going right? 

And who trains these Iraqis and provides other services. (American corporations in case you're a bit dull)
