The U.S. has basically been running the show in Iraq, post-Saddam, so what is the oil production situation now in the country with the third largest known oil reserves in the world? Where are the profits going?

This is the greatest under-reported story of the occupation.

Gas prices have been on the increase in the U.S., however we have been coercing/paying off the Iraqi puppet government into selling U.S. oil companies oil at reduced rates. The rich get richer and the rest go into bankruptcy and foreclosure...

Why is the mass media ignoring this issue?

Oh yeah, because it's mostly controlled by the likes of people like Rupert Murdoch, and multi-national conglomerates like General Electric, and other war profiteers (such as Haliburton and Blackwater), that are making money, and have a vested financial interest in continuing the chaos and warfare.
