Nothing like a good slogan to fix a problem, reminds me of “Give a Hoot, Don’t Pollute”

"Our new motto in the ministry is fight corruption and boost production."

Iraq promises to boost oil output

Iraq is hoping to boost its oil exports back to the levels of a year ago in order to re-assert its role in oil cartel Opec, its new oil minister says. Ibrahim Bahr al-Uloum, one of the final appointments to Iraq's new government, promised to make boosting production his highest priority.

Frequent sabotage has handicapped Iraq's efforts to get production back to the levels seen before March 2003.

Iraq currently pumps 1.7 million barrels a day, and exports 1.4 million.

Before the US-led invasion which ousted Saddam Hussein, daily production was some 3 million barrels.
