#2 "Wait till we get the Iraq-Haifa pipeline built, and then you can buy it from the Israelis."

#3 "...you have to think of security. When the oil pipeline becomes operational, you can make sure of preserving security of the Syrian side.. This is an important element that should be thought of."

Explains why the Syria-Iraq border is so porous - they've got all their security assets guarding the pipeline...

#4 This might be Syria's way of saying "start pumping to us again and the other pipes won't get blowed up again".

#5 Now might be a good time for a series of "hot pursuits" resulting in property damage on the Syrian side. Start with their precious oil pipeline. Border crossing facilities through which we're fairly sure there's a flow of jihadis would be a good start, too. No bodies, mind you - we're not savages - but it definitely sounds like the Syrians are starting to forget who's holding the hammer round these parts.

#6 Maybe we can start up an Oil for WMDs or an Oil for Hizbollah Gunnies program. Line 'em up on the border and we will agree on a price equivalent. This would be a win-win.

#7 I think the Syrian pipeline SHOULD be opened.

The day after they elect a Jewish president.
