refinery in north Iraq, Baiji. Dow Jones newswire picked it up. I knew it and I called it weeks ago. The army should have known that was coming - honest to god.

The attack took place in the section of the pipeline connecting the oil-rich city of Kirkuk to the Baiji, home to Iraq's largest oil refinery. Iraq usually pumps Kirkuk crude oil to the refinery, 250 kilometers north of Baghdad, which takes what it needs before it pumps the rest to Ceyhan.

Also - Turkey started shelling again into Kurdistan - I think it lasted til this morning.

Posted by Skidmore on Wed Sep-19-07 03:29 PM

and for why they continue to support this catastrophe. They will undoubtedly vote down Webb's bill. This war is *'s war and the Republic party's war. They own it. They are hanging on to it with a deathgrip. Dems better denounce them roundly and define this with accuracy. How do you excuse bankrupting a nation and destroying it's constitution? How do you excuse destroying another nation? Ask them that frequently.

[rodeodance]

72. this is getting show for me. I will start a new thread for the vote countdownn now.
