KIRKUK, Iraq - Saboteurs struck a critical oil pipeline in northern Iraq (news - web sites) on Monday, the latest in a series of attacks that have halted the country's oil deliveries to Turkey at an estimated cost of $7 million a day.


Adel al-Qazzaz, director general of the Northern Oil Co., said the line attacked Monday had carried 35,000 barrels a day from the Jabour oil field 20 miles southeast of Kirkuk to the main pipeline that originates in the northeastern Iraqi city.


The official said saboteurs set the line afire at a valve at 10:30 a.m., sending huge flames and clouds of smoke into the air. Firefighters had the fire under control by nightfall; about 300 yards of the pipeline were damaged

2. Ka-ching!
More money for Halliburton. A bottomless pit for Bush to shovel US tax dollars into.

3. Hmmm. Pipeline to Turkey, disrupted?
That'll teach them fro not allowing US troops to use their soil!

Just like the UN bombing was intended to give political cover for Bush asking for UN help. See? We're all in this together...

Besides, seeing the UN get hit must have produced BIG WOODIES on Rummy, Perle, Wolfie, Poppy and Oil Slick Dick. All of whom despise the UN.

ALWAYS ASK "WHO BENEFITS???"
