Oil at 135 dollars a barrel and in US occupied Iraq we aren't even able to make sure the oil being pumped is not being used to fund insurgents.........

Wasn't the oil supposed to help with the rebuilding? Instead some of it is being diverted to help finance our enemies?

The sea of oil under Iraq is supposed to rebuild the nation, then make it prosper. But at least one-third, and possibly much more, of the fuel from Iraq’s largest refinery here is diverted to the black market, according to American military officials. Tankers are hijacked, drivers are bribed, papers are forged and meters are manipulated — and some of the earnings go to insurgents who are still killing more than 100 Iraqis a week.

“It’s the money pit of the insurgency,” said Capt. Joe Da Silva, who commands several platoons stationed at the refinery.

wtf?

This has been going on for years now. There are numerous stories from 2007 and before about the Iraq black market oil being used to help fund our enemies, yet nothing has been done.

wtf?

How can anyone have an ounce of trust for our government is beyond me.

Maybe when gasoline hits 6-7 dollars a gallon people will wake up, but I won't be holding my breath.
