Israeli firm awarded oil tender in Iraq
Wednesday 25 February 2004, 17:33 Makka Time, 14:33 GMT
One of Israel's largest oil marketing firms has won a multi-million
dollar tender to supply fuel to US troops in Iraq.
According to a IsraelNationalNews.com report, the tender awarded to
Sonol gasoline company, along with its foreign partner Morgantown
International, is valued at $70-80 million.
The company is expected to supply the US forces with 25 million litres
of fuel each month.
The tender was issued by the US-based KDR Company, a subsidiary of
Halliburton, which has been entrusted with the majority of US military
contracts in Iraq. Among Sonol's competitors was Delek, another
Israeli company, the report added.
Until now, the US forces have received most of their fuel from Kuwait.
However, following Halliburton's admission that it overcharged the US
military by passing on the Kuwaitis' inflated price, the US Army
decided to approach other suppliers.
Sonol is one of Israel's three largest oil product marketing firms
with a network of about 205 branded service stations.
Fuel, imported to Israel, will pass through the fuel terminal operated
by the TASHAN (Oil and Energy Infrastructure Company) north of Beer
Sheva and will then be transported to Iraq by land through Jordan,
according to the report.
Not much oil
According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), a
statistical agency of the US Department of Energy, Israel produces
almost no oil and imports nearly all its oil needs (around 237,000
barrels a day in 2002). Traditionally, major oil import sources have
included Egypt, the North Sea, West Africa and Mexico.
In recent years, however, Israel has stepped up its imports from
Russia and the Caspian region and now reportedly gets most of its oil
from former Soviet states.
Information provided by the EIA states that in April 2003, there was
some discussion of "reopening" the old oil pipeline from Mosul in
Northern Iraq to the Israeli port of Haifa on its northern
Mediterranean coast.
The line, which was built in the 1930s, carried 100,000 barrels a day
at its peak, but has been closed since Israel's establishment in 1948.
Pipeline
The reopening of this pipeline is, on the other hand, reported as
being able to "solve Israel's energy crisis at a stroke".
According to a report in The Observer in April 2003, plans to build a
pipeline from newly conquered Iraq were being discussed between
Washington, Tel Aviv and potential future government figures in
Baghdad.
US intelligence sources confirmed to The Observer that the project had
been discussed. One former senior CIA official said: ''It has long
been a dream of a powerful section of the people now driving this
administration [of President George Bush] and the war in Iraq to
safeguard Israel's energy supply as well as that of the United States.
Transit rights
James Akins, a former US ambassador to the region, quoted by The
Observer said: "There would be a fee for transit rights through
Jordan, just as there would be fees for Israel from those using what
would be the Haifa terminal", according to the paper.
''After all, this is a new world order now. This is what things look
like particularly if we wipe out Syria. It just goes to show that it
is all about oil, for the United States and its ally.''

Un altro articolo da mettere nel mio archivio Tubi. Grazie ams67.
Vedo che il dececere ha contestato il fatto che si tratta "solo" di un
subappalto ottenuto dalla sussidiaria della Halliburton(KDR), ma, ancor
meglio, sarebbe interessante, allora, sapere con quale margine di profitto
la Halliburton ne e` uscita fuori e se non si tratta di un altro
sub-clientelismo(!).
Risulta che in Iraq ci siano tutte compagnie irakene a svolgere in
subappalto quello che la Halliburton, dalla quale D.Cheney essendo ancora
azionista ne prende i dividendi( e tuttora uno stipendio di $100'000/anno),
e svolgono il lavoro per 1/6 (~16%) , mentre la Halliburton si pappa "SOLO"
5/6(~84%) dei fondi per la ricostruzione dell'Iraq ( pratica daltronde
applicata anche dalla Bechtel e altre compagnie della"coalizione") senza
alzare il culo dalla sedia e gli avvoltoi si ingrassano senza usare
piu`nemmeno le ali...un po' come la storia del nostro"kiwi", evoluzione o
regressione genetica (!?).
Le truppe USA se ne andranno alla svelta, sono in netta bancarotta, ma chi
'magna a quattro ganasce' resta!

Strano che non dica nulla delle ca***te che scrivi :)
E la BBC e' nota per essere alquanto scandalistica spesso e volentieri,
specialmente a quel tempo :)
