Oh my god! “Mother Russia” is attacking the region where all the oil pipelines are! They are attacking the pipelines.
Local police recorded 51 strikes. “I have no doubt they wanted to target the pipeline, there is nothing else here,” said Giorgi Abrahamisvili, a policeman who witnessed the attack.
Oh my god! Too bad the pipeline isn’t in the area all of you are claiming it is! Moreover, its too bad that the pipeline, apparently hasn’t been damaged by the 50+ strikes the Georgians maintain Russia has perpetrated on it.
BP operates the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, which transports one per cent of the world’s oil needs, or one million barrels a day from Azerbaijan to the Mediterranean. A spokesman played down the impact of the strike, pointing out that pumping was suspended last week because of a terrorist attack in Turkey.
“At the moment the pipeline is not running at any capacity, because there was a fire,” the spokesman said.
Hmmm. As MOFO observes
BP runs the pipeline and they claim that there has been no attacks on it. Hmmm.I’m sorry, but if the Russians had fired over fifty missiles at an oil pipeline, how were they unable to damage it? Are they using rubber missiles now?
“We’ve seen reports attributed to a Georgian minister saying that the Russians have bombed the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline.
“We are not aware of that and I think we probably would be if it were true.”
This brings us to a salient question posed by WOOF.
[Do you t]hink the Georgians are above killing Americans to guarantee American support for the obvious lost campaign of illegal aggression they initiated?
Hat tip to MOFO and WOOF for this one.
