Iraq Says U.S. Bombing Forces Oil Export Suspension

BAGHDAD, Iraq (Reuters) - Iraq said Sunday oil exports via Turkey had been suspended after U.S. warplanes bombed its pipeline system.

Curious as to how the markets react monday - this has to impact Crude prices on a short term trading basis. Also the Iraqi's have been screaming that the US is planning a ground invasion...? - wishfull thinking.

...hmmm; Tell the World publically that we are the great humanitarians - promote an International Stance to allow Iraq more Oil/Humanitarian aide - but then bomb the hell out of their capacity to generate those weapons of mass destruction/Terrorism $

... couldn't be Clinton's idea ? Okay - Saudi you cut and well take out some Iraq capacity at the same time... plus you bring in the US Oil Majors and you get an ''Oil Shield'' of US interests for any retribution from Iraq in the future...
