#3 Two weeks ago there were reports that the first shipment of Kurdistan oil had been loaded at Ceyhan port, Turkey. Ostensibly, the oil was bound for the USA. In midshipment the vessel was turned around, docked in Morocco and continued to Israel where it has been unloaded and will be refined there. It seems the USA is putting pressure on the intl community to reject Kurd oil because it wants nothing to interfere with a failed policy to maintain a unified Iraq. The USA military already knows that it is impossible to put the Iraq Humpty Dumpty together again. Meanwhile, Foggy Bottom employs a policy to screw the Kurds. This will soon change as Washington will realize it needs the Kurds support as badly as the Kurds need Washington's.
