I always held the view that the war in Iraq is about more than oil, its really about Empire, but darnit, the oil makes for a nice bonus!

"Thanks for all your help - of course you can build a pipeline. I'm sure it'll be just fine"

Who wants to bet we'll "let" this thing get blown up in a few years when oil's getting tight?

I don't think it will ever get built, not if the Sunnis have anything to say about it.

Yet another card played by the Bush regime.
Weapons deal to Saudi Arabia,
Oil to Israel.
Checkmate for Iran.

Oil - dark grimy substance, known to further corrupt the already corrupted. spreading it's poison into the atmosphere. Oil greed is worst than the "gold lust" of the 1800's.
There are alternatives.
