#2 We shouldn't allow the narrative to focus on the wrong things. There is no such thing as a "permanent job". There are only jobs that need to be done. Once they no longer need to be done, the position needs to be terminated.

#3 That's the point of pipelines. Much more labor efficient than other means of transportation.

#5 Just like ANWR Circular Logic: Since we won't let you drill there is no reason to drill because no oil is being produced because we don't let you drill.

#6 @#4: Government (taxpayer funded pay & benefits) don't count as jobs in my mind. Sure, the employed are getting paid however their compensation packages being taxpayer funded are a drain on the overall economy.

#7 35 permanent jobs in pipeline supervision & maintenance. How many jobs + cost of living due to cheaper energy?

I'd say a lot of 'lifetime' jobs in weapons and munition fabrication and utilization in Gaza and the West Bank. Of course, those were short lifetimes.

You must be referring to the tools of 'regime change.' How in Gawd's name can we establish the Zhonaswalinkooswazilandaphedi desk, the country team, USAID assistance, MIL adivsors, weapons contracts, trade pacts........ without a spin off?

Are you telling me you are AGAINST nation building spin off's ?

#11 Zhonaswalinkooswazilandaphedi, a fictional land with few jobs and a very high rate of crime, modeled after California. You don't want to go there.

#12 35 permanent FULL TIME jobs, for the pipeline company? And how many full-time jobs outside the company? And how many parts of full-time jobs for the company and everyone else? (And how many government inspection & permit jobs?)

#13 Why is the State Dept. commenting on this at all, and not the Labor Dept.?

#14 Let's find everyone whose finger prints are on this report, so that they may resign.
