"An oil pipeline in northern Iraq was ablaze Saturday after saboteurs blew it up in the latest attack against the insurgent-wracked country's vital oil industry. In the capital, a roadside bomb killed two people, officials and witnesses said."

"The pipeline connecting oil fields in Dibis with the northern city of Kirkuk about 20 miles away was blown up late Friday, an official of the state-run North Oil Co. said on condition of anonymity. He said it would take at least four days to repair the line.

Insurgents have regularly targeted Iraq's oil infrastructure, cutting exports and denying the country funds badly needed for reconstruction."

1. "Mission accomplished" -- George W. Bush

Bush is RESPONSIBLE for this mess, and for the 1500 needless deaths of US soldiers, and over 35,000 US soldiers who have been wounded or maimed.

Bush is not only a liar, he is incompetent.

2. I would have to disagree

As a liar, I think George has shown he is very competent.

4. I think the american oil companies are working with pres. weed to create

an Enron style "oil crisis" where they get to keep raising the prices of gas in the U.S. because of these attacks on the oil pipelines.

We only know what we are told.. just like the Californians did with the supposedly "necessary" rolling blackouts. How the hell do we know if we're all getting screwed or not??? Where are the checks and balances?
