BAGHDAD, Sept 3 (Reuters) - All exports of Iraq's Kirkuk crude oil through a major pipeline to Ceyhan on Turkey's Mediterranean coast were stopped on Saturday after a bomb blast set the pipeline on fire, an oil ministry source said.

"The blast halted all exports, it stopped them completely," the source told Reuters.

2. Just what the Bush/Saudi team want, to drive up the price of their oil

If Bush can kill Chavez, or even botch the hit, perhaps Venezuala will cut us off, and the Bush/Saudi oil price will hit one hundred a barrel.

But don't worry, there won't be any oil-windfall profit taxes, and the estate taxes for the US's top tenth of one percent richest will stay in place.
