You're right. I assume they are currently piping it through Iraq.
When we pipe oil through Canada, I assume we pay Canada.
All I know for sure is that without this oil revenue sharing bill signed by the Iraqi government -- now -- they will remain locked in a worsening civil war and Americans will not willingly continue to sacrifice our soldiers and our treasure while they slug it out and bleed us dry.
The real bottom line is that we need this oil. It's a national security issue. We need the oil more than we need to kill Al Qaeda in Bagdad and its environs.
So, what do you suggest we do if the Kurds pull out of the Iraq Parliament? (Followed by the Sunnis.) Back to square one?
I'm not so sure which is the greater priority...
