War drums get louder...

Here is the front page of the Drudge Report:

It links to this article on Yahoo!

The article says the oil wells are in disputed territory, and they've been exchanging hands between Iran and Iraq for several months:

"What happens is, periodically, about every three or four months, the oil ministry guys from Iraq will go ... to fix something or do some maintenance. They'll paint it in Iraqi colours and throw an Iraqi flag up.

"They'll hang out there for a while, until they get tired, and as soon as they go away, the Iranians come down the hill and paint it Iranian colours and raise an Iranian flag. It happened about three months ago and it will probably happen again."

Suddenly it gets a BIG RED headline on Drudge...

He added that the Iraqis are "very concerned about the Iranians pulling oil out of fields underneath Iraq."

Get ready.

More info: Oil jumps after Iranians seize Iraqi oil field

Iranian troops enter Iraq and oil prices jump on fears of extended conflict in the Middle East
By Chris Kahn
On Friday December 18, 2009, 2:03 pm

NEW YORK (AP) -- Crude prices rose Friday after Iranian troops crossed into Iraq and seized an oil field.

Iraq's Deputy Foreign Minister Mohammed Haj Mahmoud said Iranian soldiers surrounded a well in the al-Fakkah oil field, only 200 miles southeast of Baghdad. It is one of the country's largest oil fields.

Just last week, major oil companies were in Baghdad to bid on oil service contracts as the country opens up to foriegn companies for the first time in 30 years.

Deals were reached in only seven of 15 oil fields, and most of those were in areas that have been relatively stable and free of violence.

Iranian troops are believed to have left the region and it remains to be seen if any weight will be given to the border crossing Friday.

A U.S. official said Iranians have crossed into the disputed region before, but this is the furthest inland that they have ventured.

Benchmark crude for February delivery added 67 cents to $74.75 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

While there are enormous supplies of crude now because of the global economic downturn, a conflict between Iran and Iraq would certainly crimp supply.

As things heated up in the Middle East, they cooled off in the U.S.

Assert Your Authority

They already split the oil field

YAWN.

Overblown in less than a second!

The field is about 500 metres (yards) from an Iranian border fort and about 1 kilometre from an Iraqi border fort, US Colonel Peter Newell said, adding that it falls on the Iraqi side of a border agreed between the two countries.

There are five other similar fields that also fall into disputed territory, he said.

"What happens is, periodically, about every three or four months, the oil ministry guys from Iraq will go ... to fix something or do some maintenance. They'll paint it in Iraqi colours and throw an Iraqi flag up.

"They'll hang out there for a while, until they get tired, and as soon as they go away, the Iranians come down the hill and paint it Iranian colours and raise an Iranian flag. It happened about three months ago and it will probably happen again."

by both the daily paul and drudge. Granted dumber things were stated as evidence for the iraq war, but come on...
