That clarifies things.
The bottom ...Thanks, mate.<br /><br />That clarifies things.<br /><br />The bottom line once again being murky US politics to secure oil reserves for the future (as with TAPI, Afghanistan) - plundered from someone else because the US environmental lobby opposes exploitation of large extant US resources e.g. shale oil.<br /><br />That could be something worth highlighting.<br /><br />In the meantime, I would guess the Israel/Syria border remains volatile.alanoreihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12013953165470026155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680771968888528726.post-10369567777107988922010-03-06T09:37:50.564-08:002010-03-06T09:37:50.564-08:00Hi mate,
