From your link, beardedbruce - "March 1 Iraq closes its northern crude oil export pipeline indefinitely due to sabotage concerns. The 600,000 bbl/d-pipeline, which runs from the city of Kirkuk to the Mediterranean port of Ceyhan has been the target of over 15 attacks since January 2005. The closure of the pipeline will make it difficult for Iraq to meet its targeted crude oil export level of 2 million barrels per day. (WMRC)"

Hmmm - Looks like Iraq has quite a large capacity to produce. Its just that this pesky war is getting in the way. If everyone would just simmer down and sell it to the U.S. at rock bottom prices everything would be fine, eh?

In other words - If the sabbotage ends, production goes up and Iraq will be dealing primarily with the U.S. to whom they will be indebted. You don't think the U.S. is over there fighting so that Iraq can sell their oil to the highest bidder do you?

Susu's hubby - You are looking more and more ignorant everytime you post. Bobert is not a racist and he probably has a higher level of education than you do. Did anyone ever teach you to think critically?
