GDP per capita:

2007 - $2,900

Oil Production:
1980 - 3.5 mbpd
2007 - 2.1 mbpd

Oil reserves:
1980 - 115 billion barrels
2007 - 300 billion barrels (estimated)

External debt:
1980 - ???? (estimated at less than $5 billion)
2007 - $140 billion (approximate)

My thoughts

Just my point! The IQD is backed by real assists, not like the USD. As far as their debts, they do have the means to pay them just from their oil revenues along over time. I really don’t see any good reason for the delay of the RV of the IQD.

The only reason that I can see via their track record is their desire to kill the other factions off so they can return back to the War Lord mentality and to the winner (even though they could never spend it in 100 life times) goes the spoils!

Oil Production:
1980 - 3.5 mbpd
2007 - 2.1 mbpd In real dollars the gain for the less is greater than the former

Thanks for the update on the figures.

The Paris Club debt will not be complete (remaining 20%) until the final SBA review.

I AGREE THAT IRAQ IS IN A GOOD POSITION TO RV. WITH OIL WORKERS STRIKING, MALIKI'S ("HOLD OFF TIL MONDAY OR ARREST WORKER LEADERS")AND ASKING PARLIAMENT PRESIDENT TO RESIGN , COULD CAUSE DELAY. THEY NEED THE OIL WORKERS AND THE STRIKE MAKE BE A KEY FACTOR IN SPEEDING UP THE POLITICIANS AND OUR REVAL. I GO ON VACATION JUNE 30 AND I LOOK FOR REVAL TO HAPPEN BY THEN. PLUS, ISN'T THAT THE DEADLINE GIVEN BY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION?

Where are the psychic friends network when you need them?

amen. A very nice psychic lady in Manitou Springs, Colorado told me, "end of summer. also invest in BP."
