Sabotage Blamed in Iraq Pipeline Attack

[Barrett808]

KIRKUK, Iraq - An oil pipeline near the northern city of Kirkuk was on fire Monday, and local officials said the blaze may have been caused by sabotage.

Details about the incident were sketchy, said Abdel al-Qazzaz, manager of the Northern Oil Company.

The fire occurred on a subsidiary line linking oil fields east of Kirkuk with the main pipeline in the region, he said, adding that he believed sabotage was to blame.

Insurgents have repeatedly targeted pipelines linking the fields around Kirkuk with a refinery at Bayji, about 50 miles to the southwest, and with Turkey to the north.

1. Teacups...

Yes, thats right.

Get Laura, wearing her most hideous green dress (is there any other?), to carry the oil out of Iraq in the "Whitehouse China", teacups.

She could arrange a parade, with Lynn Cheney, Ann (flap those ears and we could "airlift this oil out") Coulter and Condi Rice.

It would be much more productive since the pipelines will never be secure as long as the US acts as occupiers...
