On the other hand, it is fair to ask: what is the new agitprop show is going on the road soon ??!!
Ain't it fine when one set of crook$ mets with another set of crook$?
What pray tell is the US doing a sovereign nation what it's policy should be? Oh, you forgot, Irak/Kurdistan is not a US property, didn't you .. c'mon admit it! You just completely forgot!

US Vice President Cheney and Iraqi Kurdistan leaders meet About Oil
Cheney met with two senior leaders of the KRG.
03 December 2007 (The Washington Post)
In September, State Department officials called the Washington representatives of major oil companies to discourage them from signing deals with the Kurdistan regional government, which adopted its own petroleum law in August.
Advisers to the Iraqi Kurds said yesterday that they saw the meetings that Kurdish officials had with Cheney and with Reuben Jeffery, undersecretary of state for economic, energy and agricultural affairs, as signs of a change in U.S. attitudes.
"This is the first really high-level engagement for a long time and certainly since the oil law was started,"said Jonathan Morrow, an adviser to the Kurdistan Regional Government.
"Far from the U.S. taking it as an opportunity to lean on the Kurds and ask them to withdraw from their position on Iraqi federalism in the oil sector, they're brainstorming with the Kurds on how to break the impasse in Baghdad."Kurdish authorities signed a dozen oil and gas exploration contracts in November, bringing to 20 the total number of contracts signed. Shares of DNO Asa, a Norwegian oil company that entered an exploration agreement with Kurdistan regional authorities in 2005, jumped 13 percent yesterday in Oslo after the firm reported encouraging production tests and raised reserve estimates in its exploration bloc in Kurdistan 'northern Iraq'.
