Steal it from the Arabs to give it to the Israelis

I'm sure every good Arab in the Middle East will stand up and cheer for this one:

The United States has asked Israel to check the possibility of pumping oil from Iraq to the oil refineries in Haifa. The request came in a telegram last week from a senior Pentagon official to a top Foreign Ministry official in Jerusalem.

This is just exactly the signal we want to send to help Osama's recruiting efforts. We're going to steal the oil from the Arabs and give it to the Israelis.
