Iraqi oil pipeline sabotaged (2nd in 3 days)
http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/8B9C9201-3025-46FB-AE4A-30B5EB15A8CF.htm


An oil pipeline linking two of Iraq's major refineries has been attacked, the second such attack in three days, police and oil sources said.


"The pipeline linking the Baiji refinery to that of Dura, in the capital, was sabotaged west of the city of Samarra," a local police officer said.

He said the sabotage on Saturday was carried out with a 10kg explosive charge on one of a cluster of eight pipelines bringing oil to the capital from the Baiji refinery, about 190km north of Baghdad.

Relentless attack on the country's oil industry by fighters opposed to foreign troops have cost Iraq $7 billion to $8 billion in exports since the March 2003 US-led invasion.

1. Do you think that someone should inform Georgie boy that...
no matter how many lies he tells, and how many 'insurgents' he kills, he will never, ever have the Itaqi oil that he so desperately wants?

2. " ... have cost Iraq $7 billion to $8 billion in exports"? I think not.
Have cost The Bush Crime Family and Friends $7 billion to $8 billion in exports is more like it.
