#1 The 270-kilometer pipeline is estimated to earn Iran USD 3.7 billion a year in revenue.

Pipelines produce USD....? Who knew? Theirs was approved, ours languishes.

#2 Those pesky Jooos and their Zionist grenades got in the way again. We'd rather work with our old friends the Iranians.

Aqaba pipeline project:

The United States government supported the construction of new oil pipeline that would run westward from Iraq across land to the Jordanian port city of Aqaba, permitting access from the Red Sea. The Bechtel Corporation was the prime contractor for this project. Donald Rumsfeld discussed the advantages of the pipeline personally with Saddam Hussein in 1983. The Aqaba project never made it past the drawing board, however, because of its proximity to Israel, which planners insisted upon. So near to the border it would run, the Iraqi leadership feared the Israeli side could disable the pipeline at a later date, simply by "lobbing a few hand grenades" at it.

#3 Did I miss something, or were the no US oil field construction companies listed? Strange, very strange indeed.
