Iraq Oil Minister Hussein al-Shahristani and Hasan Kazemi Qomi, the Iranian ambassador to Iraq, struck the deal, according to a top ministry spokesman.

Well isn't that interseting. Iran must be having problems maintaining their own pipelines and infrastructure to have to get imports from its neighbors.

What's the matter Imanutjob, not enough skilled hands to keep it up 'cause they're all off fighting in Iraq? It sucks to have nothing but unskilled labor and too many "intellectuals", doesn't it.

WHAT ?

This is American oil, paid for with American lives.

This pipeline must not happen, it must be “accidently” damaged and broken all the time.
