Yeah, This'll Piss Ya Right Off

Put down anything you may have in your hand:

Why, after all the assistance we've given to Iraq over the past five years, was the first major Iraqi oil deal signed with China and not with an American or even a western company? The answer is, in part, because three Democratic senators intervened in Iraqi domestic politics earlier this year to prevent Iraq from signing short-term agreements with Exxon Mobil, Shell, Total, Chevron, and BP.

The three Senators? Chuck Schumer, John Kerry, and Claire McCaskill.

Go figure. Isn't there an Internet saying that starts with "Rope, tree...."?

Thanks to Firehand for the pointer.
