BAGHDAD - Until a few weeks ago, the only line of defense at a water pumping station on an oil pipeline near the northern city of Kirkuk was a burly man named Mohammad, who kept his semi-automatic rifle in a metal safe near the cot where he slept. He had no telephone or radio, and when strangers came by he would shout in Arabic, "Shoo, shoo, go away. Go to Kirkuk."

Could somebody please explain to me what OUR soldiers are doing
protecting OIL FIELDS that used to belong to another country...?
They LIED and continue to LIE when they claim that this war and
occupation was not about OIL. :mad:
