Iraq Oil Pipelines Hit as Sabotage Spreads South

[DuctapeFatwa]

Iraq's northern oil export pipeline is still coming under attack, officials said Monday, as sabotage hit infrastructure further south, raising fresh fears about the vulnerability of the country's oil industry.

Almost a year after the Iraq war, the country's U.S.-led authority does not feel confident enough yet to try to restart the pipeline from Iraq's Kirkuk oilfields.

"We are making some progress. There is no date set yet," Rob McKee, the authority's oil chief, told Reuters.

"The fact is that there are some wonderful oilfields in the north. It is important to figure out a way to export the northern crude."

1. Rob McKee, the authority's oil chief doesn't understand civil war

They hate the U.S. much more than their ethnic rivals.

They are for the present time, setting aside their own differences to go out and kill the invader.

5. a known unknown

Yes, they know they are getting their asses blown off, and no, they have no idea how to stop that from happening.

Solution-- Start up another pipeline to Israel, because no one would attack that...
