Iraq oil exports cap pressed by sanctions and wrecked system
Iraqi officials and independent experts say years of sanctions have crippled Iraq s oil production and kept it from taking full advantage of a Security Council resolution to double sales. Oil Minister Rasheed said exports could reach only 3.4 billion over six months without equipment, even as the Council raised the ceiling to 5.2 billion over six months. Palestinian protests against the United States and Israel loom over peace talks, with demonstrators burning flags in the West Bank as U S Israeli leaders face renewed pressure to restart negotiations amid the Iraq standoff and U N inspections.
