As if the oil strike in Kurdistan isn't going to cause enough headaches for King George and the BFEE/PNAC Petroleum Pirate Posse, I just discovered this new development next door to Iraq:

India and China, often fierce rivals in the race for global energy resources, have won a joint bid to buy Petro-Canada's 37 percent stake in Syrian oil fields for $573 million, a top Indian official said Wednesday. Teaming up would give Indian and Chinese more negotiating muscle as they buy up far-flung oil and gas fields, analysts say. Both countries have been scouting for oil blocks around the world to meet their surging energy demands.
And I doubt that they are going to allow George to interfere with their needs being met!
You might want to rethink that Syrian Invasion, Georgie! If India were to aid Syria with their Air Force, You might not have it very easy - as recently I wrote. And, as the Blog Lord Steve Soto wrote here, China won't be averse to a piece of us either.
Our guys are good, but do you really want to get us wrapped up in too many conflicts at one time? Why, with all the troubles of your own creation facing you, you won't have time to deal with all of those much less anything external!
You'll be too busy keeping your cherry ass out of the Hague - or out of Marion!
