I think American oil interests own about 20% of the BTC (Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan) pipeline that runs oil to the Mediterranean, which also undoubtedly upsets Iran.

Yes, that’s the route that Dick Cheney and others were pushing, in competition with Pooty-Poot’s Russian pipeline grid and the Iranians to the south. There was also some interest by Union Pacific, before they got bought, in a pipeline route through Afghanistan to Indian Ocean ports, which caused armchair strategists to discover all sorts of Halliburtonian shadiness in our presence in Offghonnystonn ... some people just like talking about finding bodies in alleys in the morning.
