The International Energy Agency predicted Tuesday Oct. 9, 2012 that Iraq will consolidate its position as a global oil power _ allowing it to rebuild the economy of a nation ravaged by war and decades of Saddam Hussein�s autocratic rule. The leading global energy monitor reported that Iraq�s annual revenues from energy exports could double to an average of $200 billion annually over the next 20 years. That optimistic scenario would make Iraq�s economy the same size as that of Saudi Arabia now by 2035. (AP Photo/Nabil al-Jurani, File)
