The Obama administration shocked the oil industry last week, pulling the plug on a major oil pipeline from the Bakken that had become a flashpoint between a pipeline company on the one hand, and a growing coalition of Native American tribes and environmentalists on the other.
Everyone was anxiously waiting a Friday ruling from a U.S. federal judge, who was weighing a request from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to stop construction on the Dakota Access Pipeline, a $3.8 billion 1,168-mile oil pipeline that would run from North Dakota to Iowa and Illinois. The pipeline would threaten sacred lands and drinking water resources for the tribe.
Dakota Access exploded into a national controversy in recent weeks, as protests against the project swelled and violence broke out after protesters were attacked by dogs. Environmentalists have been keen on turning the Dakota Access Pipeline into a rerun of the Keystone XL saga, elevating the project to a national symbol around which protestors could be rallied.

OK, a four month delay.
Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim President, doesn't do what he does for riches, he does it for Allah. Hussein's job is to fundamentally change America. That means he wants to destroy America as we know it and substitute Sharia Law.
The 9/11 hijackers didn't get on those airplanes for money, they did it in the name of Allah. The Muslims in Obama's Holy Quaran are commanded to engage infidels everywhere and convert them to Islam.
Hussein didn't block the pipeline for his personnel riches, he did it to make Islam stronger as they defeat the evil infidels.
Whatever it takes, Islam is going to prevail. Islams enemies will eventually have to decide on death or conversion. The picture could contain you, your relatives and your friends and neighbors as the Muslims come for America's decision. They can't win on the battlefield but Islam can easily win by infiltrating America.

That must be good news for Uncle Warren Buffet and his railroad.
Obama, the time to honor yourself is coming to an end.
Obama’s focus is on getting top dollar on the price of oil for Tehran.
Can’t upset the Saudis now....
These same Indians who voted for democrat eminent domain... now getting special treatment from Obama out of PC. I call BS
This is just total BS anyways, the pipeline does not pass through reservation land. The whole “oil pipeline is going to pollute the water table” argument is ridiculous, the oil never touches any water. It flows through an above ground pipeline, and any spill can be contained within minutes. There is little to no pollution caused by an oil pipeline, and depending on how well it is designed, barely an eyesore.
What a joke.
its the cause de jour out here in the West...the casino Indians are sending delegations and the college kids are jumping on board...
