U.S. Asks Israel about Reopening Iraqi Oil Pipeline
(WorldNetDaily) Joseph Farah - A senior Pentagon official asked a top Israeli Foreign Ministry official in Jerusalem last week to report on the feasibility of pumping oil from the Kirkuk wells to the refineries in Haifa, including a request for a cost estimate for repairing the old Mosul-Haifa pipeline. According to the National Infrastructure Ministry, construction of a 42-inch diameter pipeline between Kirkuk and Haifa would cost about $400,000 per kilometer; the old pipeline was only 8 inches in diameter.
