Iraq has over 900 miles of pipeline.....all above ground. Who guards it? We're seriously undermanned in Iraq; there is no way we can guard the pipeline. How many times has the pipeline been bombed? 20 times? 2,000 times? I'd be curious to know the exact number.
I've read that the US has made agreements with different tribes to have "guard duty" over certain sections of the pipeline. Unfortunately, jealousy has occurred, and some tribal warfare has happened over the lucrative contracts.
They're fighting over who gets what part. Imagine that. Everything we do in Iraq is fucked up.
