The southern pipelines account for 90 per cent of Iraq's oil exports. The oil stopped flowing on Sunday night, and officials told the Associated Press they weren't likely to resume for a week.



I know, I know, it's another dog bites man story. Wonder if it will get reported with all the convention hoopla.

1. Negroponte wants to divert $billions from civilian infrastructure

Such as power, water and sewage treatment to pipeline security. Here is the reason why, although it will never work. It will just anger the population even more. A vicious spiral, which is what the BFEE is best at.

Oil is still overpriced by $10 bbl minimum. Bubble bursting.

3. The Bush Criminals need to keep the oil flowing

They have to pay a lot of debts to their supporters who have given them millions in this election !!!

6. Wouldn't look good to have oil shut off during Repub convention

Thus, this must be a "hoax". Lots of Republicans are perfectly happy with the idea that the invasion was for oil and nothing else. They could care less about the morality of it, but the do expect results.

Anyway, that is my interpretation.
