I provided documentation for slant drilling by the Kuwaits. What have you provided to refute it? NYT (pro war newspaper) admits: U.S. concerns about safeguarding Western oil supplies were uppermost when the allied coalition went to war against Saddam in 1991 — just as they must be today, along with fear of his weapons. But in 1991, not all the sins were on Saddam's side. Many oilmen in the West understood that Kuwait and others kept oil prices down by overproducing, which was one of Saddam's grievances. Also, there is evidence that Kuwait was engaged in slant-drilling of Iraqi oil, under the border. As one oil executive put it, slant-drilling is enough to get you shot in Texas or Oklahoma. nytimes.com
