The Iraqi’s need to step on that bug. But good.
Kill Sadr. Now.
Every time the price of oil starts to go down something happens.
This may really be a big deal.
I’m watching CNBC and the market analysts seem nervous.
They say troops can’t get to the area and there are hundreds more miles of pipelines that could be attacked. Iraqs oil revenues have increased to far more than we are spending on the war and that could simply stop if the insurgents continue with this tactic. Apparently a single IED can take out one of the two main pipelines and they are setting off dozens a day in other places.
I know nothing about pipeline technology; maybe someone can answer this. Is there an automatic shutdown system for pipelines (triggered by a sudden loss of pressure), or do crews have to shut valves on both sides of the damage?
I think it’s time for the U.S. to start guarding and runnning this pipeline—for a small fee...paid for in oil.
