in that Yuko is a better gamble. However, your original assertion was:

Bullshit! You may think there is such a pipeline

Al Jazeera may say so - I am in the friggin energy industry (have been for over 30 of the last over 40 years) -- and I can't find anything about it in any legitimate energy industry industry publications.

Obviously, your "energy industry" credentials leave much to be desired if you were unaware of the existence of the 8 inch pipeline from Mosul to Haifa. It is with some amusement I see your backpedalling response to the facts I presented laden with unrelated reading assignments and quotes from MLK and scripture. But then again, I'm easily amused.

In addition Colorado Blue asserted:

That's a MYTH. The possibility was floated but there is NO pipeline being built. The Jordanians won't allow it.

How dumb do you think the oil companies are? Such a pipeline would get blown up.

And any refinery at Haifa would be a HUGE target for terrorists.

Now since she doesn't boast any "energy industry" credentials, I'll give her a break. But the information was extremely easy to find (google "haifa+pipeline+oil").

As to the existence of a refinery at Haifa:

Eilat Ashkelon Pipeline Co. Ltd.

Note the link on the page called: "Pipelines Map" It clearly shows a refinery at Haifa.
