About that oil...
Your attention! Your attention please!
Sabotage has failed to hurt Iraq's oil exports, Iraqi Oil Minister Thamer Abbas Ghadbane said Saturday, though he acknowledged that attacks had hurt oil distribution to domestic markets.
Key word: exports. Repeat: Sabatoge has failed to hurt Iraq's oil exports.
"These operations have not significantly affected exports," the minister said at a press conference in Baghdad, without saying how badly the domestic market had been hit.
Repeat: Sabatoge has failed to hurt Iraq's oil exports but sabatoge has hurt the domestic market.
In America, we call that shooting yourself in the foot, cutting off your nose to spite your face and just plain stupid.
