Reply #12: That's exactly it.

He asked his followers to consider disabling ships in the straits of Hormuz and "particularly Iraq". I didn't read the entire speech, but I did read that part.

At this point, I'm wondering ---

a) How many attacks does this make? I almost didn't read this thread because I thought it was a dupe, because there was a similar thread yesterday about the oil pipeline being attacked. I wonder if there are any statistics on the number of attacks. Are they going up?

b) How much is this costing Halliburton to fix? I had read somewhere that every time the pipeline is blown up, it costs $1,000,000 to fix (our taxpayer money, of course!). It seems like every day, there is more sabotage to the pipe line.
