1. At which point, it will be blown up again within 4 days
And there's not one goddamn thing the US military can do about it.

2. AS LONG as the BFEE occupies their country
It will keep happening and get worse.
Time for the UN to step in...
LONG overdue time for the UN to take over.

3. This pipline was only bringing in 7 million dollars a day
Since we are spending a billion dollars a week, at this rate it is unlikely that oil exports will ever produce a profit. Which may be the plan, perpetual bankruptacy, thus ensuring perpetual occupation.

We will leave when the country stabilizes, or when Hell freezes over, whichever comes first.

4. Plan was to stay until we pumped all of our oil out from under their sand
That is beginning to look like an impossible plan.
