The only morons here are the shmucks who think jihadists will not target American energy production.

Let's think this one through. Suppose you are right, although even that's no better than even money, but if true, what target would an Iranian terrorist pick? A nuclear plant? An oil farm in Oklahoma with millions of gallons of petroleum in big tanks? A key installation in the national energy grid threatening to black out the entire east coast? an oilwell in North Dakota?

You be the judge.

an oilwell in North Dakota

Why do you think the choices in ND are limited to individual wells?

The existing Keystone (not the XL expansion) is a 590,000 Barrel per day oil pipeline.

The Northern Border Pipeline can move 2 Billion cubic feet a day of Natural Gas across North Dakota to points South.

There are other terminals in inter-ties. North Dakota has become the 4th largest oil producer in the US.
