Pipelineistan
A two part article on Pipelineistan from Pepe Escobar in Asia Times: The rules of the game and The games nations play.
War against terrorism? Not really. Reminder: it's all about oil.
A quick look at the map is all it takes. It's no coincidence that the
map of terror in the Middle East and Central Asia is practically
interchangeable with the map of oil. There's Infinite Justice,
Enduring Freedom - and Everlasting Profits to be made: not only by the
American industrial-military complex, but especially by American and
European oil giants.
No, it's not "all about oil". But oil's involved and it can't hurt to remind ourselves of that occasionally. [via also not found in nature]
