But he revealed some interesting facts in that conversation that I haven't heard elsewhere. For example, the 'secret' Haifa pipeline and the way the oil has been transported from the Azeri/Turkish node of oil distribution from Ceyhan, Turkey to Israel. It seems that one needs to collect information on the exact workings of the 'rape' of Iraq before making up one's mind. Why? Because the oil business is murky and needs detailed examination of facts. And of course it is utterly corrupt, which goes without saying.

Interestingly, I hear that septics are now leaving Iraq in good shape as far as their oil business goes and will be able to be economically independent.

Likely now, there may be some joint enterprises between Iran and Iraq, now that the US is leaving. Iraq will now need to upgrade their infrastructure destroyed by that illegal war. Nevermind millions of civilians killed and displaced.

I still remember seeing a large Iraqi delegation coming to London GLC quarters where I worked in 1974. Half were women engineers. Much better gender distribution than we had and still have here in the UK. Just a ditty ..
