1. Oh, you mean the pipeline that was supposed to handle all the oil

so that the Iraqi's 'new government' would be able to pay for the cost of the war and the reconstruction themselves?

Can't let the Sheeple know that there won't ever be any oil profits, can they? And the reason for the war, to steal the oil, has gone down the proverbial poop chute as well.

Operation Enduring Freedom (chuckle chuckle) is history's biggest fuck up by history's biggest group of delusional psychopaths.

2. Has anyone in this fiasco ever read Dune?

Surely they should change the name of Halliburton
to Harkkonen.

3. I've also read that every time the pipeline is blown up,

it costs around $1 million to repair it. And that's from the DU, not the news.

I think it's much, much worse than they let on. After all, it's 900 miles of pipeline, above ground. What more effective way to kabosh Wolfowitz's plans?

5. Thanks donsu, these incidents always get lost and yet the MSN's says

Iraq is pumping more oil than before the invasion. That lie appears in the financal pages all the time. And, when the explosions are posted they don't stay long.

Good to see it all in one place.
