Oil Pipeline Blown Up in Northern Iraq by Saboteurs (Monday Sept 8)
Oil Pipeline Blown Up in Northern Iraq by Saboteurs

In a possible response to Bush's vow in his Sunday speech to remain in Iraq no matter what, saboteurs blew up an oil pipeline in North Iraq in the past few hours. A civil defence official in the petroleum centre of Kirkuk called the blast, which erupted near an electric power plant 15km south of Kirkuk, an act of "sabotage". He said it hit a pipeline connecting the Janbur and Kirkuk oil fields. There was no immediate word on the extent of the damage."

1. Rupert Murdoch's paper calls them "saboteurs"
... wonder if they could be considered freedom fighters?

2. More than one way to attack the enemy.
Maybe they realize this administration's true interests in Iraq? Clue: it's not democracy building. Without the oil revenue, there's only downside for the US in occupying Iraq....let's see how long the neo-cons can sell our war with the cost going in one direction only.
