LONDON (AFP)--Western concerns are growing over the impact of the conflict between Georgia and Russia on a key oil pipeline through the region from the Caspian Sea to the West, analysts say.

While Georgia doesn't produce oil itself, U.S. and European energy firms have counted on the pro-Western country - sandwiched between Russia and Iran further south - to host a conduit for oil and gas exports from Azerbaijan.

well if the west wanted to hedge themselves away from the Bear oil and gas, they should have put some military inside to protect the lines.

Otherwise they will be worried ad nauseas. Its no problem the green lantern hope and change will bring forth alternative energy, the alternative being walking vs driving. Hey its alternative and its green and it lower obesity. Trifacta.

I read somewhere that this pipeline is the only one Russia doesn't control in the area. Follow the pipeline.

Micheal Mooron will get to the bottom of this. Oh yeah, its Russia never mind.

Here’s another good reason to drill our own oil. If McCain doesn’t use this to make that point in the next few days he’s an idiot.

We are like a yoyo on the end of a string. Whoever has their finger through the string decides if we go up or down. I'm sick of it. Cut the string.

Watching the DOW go up or down because of some perceived or real threat to the global oil supply is making everyone sick. Pelosi - sick. Capitulating pussy Democrats - sick. No wonder they want universal healthcare, they are making us all sick.

All I am saying is give drills a chance.

This is why we must drill here in the U.S.

Flav, I admit that I haven't been active here for sometime due to ill health, but what has happened to this website? Nobody posts bupkis anymore. Where are the warriors that used to constantly harry, harrass and ruin our nations bitter enemies both foreign and domestic?

We ran those crooked Clintoons, lil Algore the frontman for "The Warmed-Up One World Band" and Mr. Theresa's John, Kerry-Heintz?

We need an intellectual enema around this place. Where's BobJ et al? We should be razing hell about this new war for domination of oil and gas beginning in the Cacussus; special thanks to Cowboy Billie of the tiny bent member for showing Puti-Pute how to do business and grab our balls.

I'm so pissed at the no shows in our once hope filled ranks. Has GW Bush ruined our party or are we getting to lazy? WTF?
