floridatoday: US Pumping Iraqi Oil To Kuwait???
On May 25, while scanning the Air Force Defense Meteorological Satellite
Program images pipelined into his desktop from 450 miles in orbit, Hank
Brandli skidded at a nighttime photo of Iraq. It looked familiar. But not
exactly. Brandli retrieved another DMSP image he'd archived from May 3. He
compared the two. The most recent photo showed a blazing corridor of light
running the length of Kuwait, south to north, all the way to the Iraqi
border. The image wasn't there on May 3. "It's going right up to Iraq's
oil fields," says the retired Air Force colonel from his home in Palm Bay.
"Maybe I'm full of s---. Maybe all they're doing is building a highway to
put in McDonald's and sell hamburgers. But why go that way? I think we're
in bed with Kuwait. I think we're pumping oil out of Iraq to pay for this
war."
