Somebody does not want Iraq's crude oil flowing normally, nor a stable Iraqi economy. The list below the map only represents acts of sabotage directed against Iraq's petroleum infrastructure from November 1st through November 17th.

I firmly believe the constant disruptions effecting Iraq's crude oil flow to foreign customers is the devious work of Tehran's terrorist exporting, mullah contolled regimé. A nuclear Iran is now even more dangerous to Iraq and the world.
