nz_q > Who are the major beneficiaries? Would you include:
1. MIC, for example look at HAL Betchel KRB etc,

Yes

2. Oil companies (control of second largest oil fields in the world has been acquired) price of oil to the consumer etc. Note that production has not been reduced, actually If I am not mistaken it has increased..

Yes, but I think production has been reduced.

3. Removal of a "perceived" threat to our surrogate state Israel, along with new pipelines to Israel from Iraq. Old one was shut down by Saddam and it was 8", the new line is 42"

Yes, that's the big one. Even without the others I'm sure that would have been sufficient motivation. Anything to make Israel happy -- even if Israel does nothing to make anyone else happy.

> Then one needs to look who's who in the gov't and who lobbies and influences decisions.

JINSA and those in its pay.
