[From the Empire: ‘Do as I say, not as I do.’]   “The United States said Monday that oil companies should not bypass Iraq’s central government after authorities in the autonomous Kurdish north signed dozens of deals with foreign energy firms. The United States has told companies that ‘obviously they’ll make their own business decisions, but unless and until we have federal legislation in Iraq governing these things — something that we’ve been urging — that there are risks for them.’  The central government insists that all contracts are illegal if they did not go through the federal oil ministry.”
