Well TIA you work in oil industry - as a pump attendant? But anyone who thinks that Iraq does not own the oil under it's territory is in cloud cuckoo land. Anyone who implies that they have a knowledge of the oil & gas industry yet does not know how exploration and field operations are negotiated and handled, to such a degree that they think that:
- A foreign country with no access to the operation can effect what flows through pipelines over which it has no control.
- A foreign country whose oil companies are not represented as partners or operators can influence production in oilfields over which they have no control.

Laugh all you want TIA, but when you have finished what about addressing some of the points made.
