Criticism of The New Law
Some critics have claimed that the new Iraqi Oil law was not needed since Iraq has the cheapest oil to extract. Also Iraq's oil refineries did not maintain any heavy damages during the Iraq war so the country is not in need for any serious development at the time. Other analysts have claimed that the no-bid contracts to U.S oil companies constitutes as exploitation since many non U.S companies would give the same service for shorter contracts and lower percentage of revenue.

Famous quotes containing the words criticism and/or law:
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“To expect to increase prices and then to maintain them at a higher level by means of a plan which must of necessity increase production while decreasing consumption is to fly in the face of an economic law as well established as any law of nature.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
