#3 Baby steps. This is very doable, particularly with the westbound export markets. What could be very interesting is if the Arabs, especially Iraq, ever agree to the eastbound pipelines at am Israeli Med terminal. The deal is there for the Paleos and Jordanians to accept, but it would transfer wealth to the shippers from the pumpers. Also makes Hormuz irrelevant. I'm surprised Ron Paul hasn't suggested this. It would alter the appearance of his policy positions.
