Why should Syria get 200,000 bpd discount oil and nobody else? Do the Iraqis want to subsidize a Hussein ally?

>>Cutting it off should have been negotiated. Yah right. And maybe we should have first 'negotiated' with Saddamm and the Taliban. You are acting diplomatically in a world of militant dictators. That doesn't work. Like hardened criminals, only a fist in the face works with these people. They have all learned how to make a mockery of the diplomatic UN process: cheat and retreat.

Or, even better, the promise of more oil to Syria if they returned whoever they have. It's not our oil to promise to anyone. And it's not Syria's either. But they can buy it legally on the open market soon from its rightful owners - the Iraqi people, not Saddam Hussein. Only Bush's staff is so stupid as to create a catastrophe and expect it to improve negotiations. Only sniveling Bush-haters are so stupid to think shutting down an illegal pipeline with no oil in it creates a catastrophe.
