A Norwegian financial newspaper claims a former US ambassador and advisor to the Kurdish regional government in northern Iraq stands to profit from the country's vast oil resources.
I wish I knew if Galbraith's former UN superior in Afghanistan had any connection with the Norwegian paper in question.
I presume you, RT, are refering to the the paper, "Dagens Næringliv" or "E24"... The latter published an article yesterday telling about former US generals and diplomats who now are investing heavily in Iraqi resources, especially in oil fields in Kurdistan. The paper also states that this strengthen the accusations against the invasion for beeing performed in the purpose of getting hold of the oil recources. I actually studies with a Kurd who wants to work in this norwegian oil company (DNO), and he, along with most other kurds, are positive to the "liberation" of their land. Though, that does not justifie this horrible war for oil. Poor Iraq and Afghanistan, getting torn apart by the superpowers in this world because of their oil. Former USSR war in Afhanistan, the US invasion in both Afghanistan and Iraq, russian and american support to the warlords fighting against the other superpower... Not to mention that China actually is of the top countries investing in Iraqi oil:O "and I think to myself, what a wonderful world..."^^
The billionaire would say, "everybody has to make a living". Too many billionaires, too little money trickles down to the working people who deserve it.
