Look at the date of this article:  KRG to increase capacity along pipeline via Turkey amid conflict

Published
August 20, 2014



The Kurdistan Regional Government is in the process of increasing the capacity of the pipeline running to the Turkish port of Ceyhan from 120,000 to 300,000 barrels a day, according to KRG sources.

From the podesta email:

Subject: POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY
>> Steve, with the occupation of Ninewah by ISIS, and of greater Kirkuk by the KRG, we have an interesting possibility. It is my understanding that the pipelines that brought Kurdish crude to Kirkuk to be shipped via the Kirkuk Ceyhan pipeline can be reversed. If this is so this provides an opportunity for the Northern Oil Company--part of the central government, to ship out up to 200,000 b/d (I think the pipeline would take that much, but would have to check. But clearly close to that as the Kurds on good days were sending up to 175,000 b/d to Kirkuk. See attachment for layout (slightly obsolete) of pipelines. Pipeline running between Kirkuk (hidden by white legend ballon) and the Kurdish net is in black running northwest-southeast.)
>>
>> Idea would be:
>>
>> --Kirkuk to keep producing (shutting down operating wells is a laborious, costly, and very detrimental process. With Beiji refinery, fed by up to 100,000 b/d from Kirkuk and the Ceyhan line in enemy hands, that's a lot of capacity shut in. ) with production either sent to Kurdistan for refining or shipped out via the 300,000 b/d line that, very fortunately, KRG now has to Ceyhan.
>>
>> --KRG would 'temporarily' market all oil exported via that line--its own quantities, say 100,000 b/d, plus Kirkuk. (This would be a compromise to the KRG).
>>
>> --But proceeds would be put in the Fed Reserve "DFI" account with some special arrangement for the Kurdish 17% of total revenues country-wide (the idea Brett was working on--this would be a compromise to the Central Government).
>>
>> --This would all be a 'temporary,' 'emergency' action given the situation.
>>
>> --On top of everything else, while quantities are limited this could calm world markets.
>>
>> If this makes sense, I'd suggest someone like Jim Jones shop it to the KRG. For various reasons while Brett is an alternative I don't know where he stands with the Kurds. (I do know that Sistani supposedly is very angry at the Kurds, probably for seizing Kirkuk and other territories (which otherwise would have been seized by ISIS)).
>>
>> I will be an an Northern Iraq energy conference in London next week, and can shop the idea in principle to Ashti and perhaps Turkey's Yildiz. But this will take someone like Jones or you to pitch to the Kurds.
>>
>> Let me know how this sounds. Regards, Jim

This is huge.  Why are internal oil market profit decisions being discussed with Hillary's campaign manager, as opportunities during a conflict?

In case you're wondering who Stephen J. Hadley is....

Hadley was born in Toledo, Ohio, the son of Suzanne (née Bentley), a homemaker, and Robert W. Hadley, Jr., an electrical engineer.[1][2] He received a B.A. degree in government from Cornell University in 1969, where he was a member of Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity, the Cornell University Glee Club, and the Quill and Dagger society. He later received a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from Yale Law School and served as an officer in the United States Navy from 1972 to 1975.

Hadley has served in a variety of capacities in the defense and national security field, including as an analyst for the Comptroller of the Department of Defense from 1972–1974, as a member of the National Security Council staff under President Gerald Ford from 1974–1977, and serving from 1986–1987 as Counsel to the Special Review Board established by President Ronald Reagan to inquire into U.S. arms sales to Iran.

During the administration of George H. W. Bush, Hadley was, "[a] Pentagon aide to Wolfowitz," serving as the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Global Strategic Affairs from 1989–1993.[3] In that position, he had responsibility for defense policy toward NATO and Western Europe, on nuclear weapons and ballistic missile defense, and arms control. He also participated in policy issues involving export control and the use of space. Hadley served as Secretary of Defense Cheney's representative in talks led by Secretary of State James Baker that resulted in the START I and START II Treaties.

Hadley served as a senior foreign and defense policy adviser to then-Governor Bush during the 2000 presidential campaign and worked in the Bush-Cheney Transition on the National Security Council. Previous to this position, he was a partner in the Washington, D.C. law firm of Shea & Gardner and a principal in The Scowcroft Group, Inc., an international consulting firm.

He had been Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Advisor from January 22, 2001. In 2002, Hadley was a member of the White House Iraq Group. He admitted fault in allowing a disputed claim about Iraq's quest for nuclear weapons material to be included in Bush's January 28, 2003 State of the Union Address (see Yellowcake forgery). On July 22, 2003, Hadley offered his resignation to Bush because he had "failed in that responsibility" and that "the high standards the president set were not met." Bush denied Hadley's request. Amid this, The Times of London reported that Hadley was Bob Woodward's source for Valerie Plame's name in the CIA leak scandal, but this report proved to be false when Richard Armitage admitted that he was Woodward's source.[4]

On January 26, 2005, he replaced Condoleezza Rice as National Security Advisor, upon Rice's confirmation as Secretary of State. Beginning in 2009, he served as senior adviser for international affairs at the United States Institute for Peace in Washington, DC.[5] On January 24, 2014, he was elected chairman of the Board of Directors of the U.S. Institute of Peace.

In former president Jimmy Carter's book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, Hadley is referred to, without being named, as personally denying Carter permission to visit Syrian president Bashar al-Assad in early 2005 due to "differences with Syria concerning U.S. policy in Iraq."[6]

Hadley is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.[7] He has been a member of the Defense Policy Board, the Foreign Affairs Policy Board, the National Security Advisory Panel to the Director of Central Intelligence, and the Board of Trustees of Analytical Services ("ANSER"). His professional legal practice focused on business problems of U.S. and foreign corporations particularly as they involve international business, regulatory, and strategy issues.

In January 2001, as George W. Bush prepared to take office, Hadley served on a panel for nuclear weapons issues sponsored by the National Institute for Public Policy, a conservative think tank. Other members of the panel included Stephen Cambone, William Schneider, and Robert Joseph. This panel advocated using tactical nuclear weapons as a standard part of the United States defense arsenal.

Hadley is on the Board of Directors at Raytheon.[9]

With Handley, you have the intersection of CFR, board member of one of the biggest defense contractors in the US (who provides the TOW-2 missiles to Syrian rebels BTW), who was involved in the Iran-Contra hearings, SALT I and II, NATO advisory work, and the Iraq Policy Group under Cheney, now providing tips in advance to Team Clinton about oil profiting from the Kurdistan-Turkey pipeline.

His exact barrel per day (b/d) figures were used in the email, that were then published within 2 months of his email to John Podesta.

This is huge.  For every liberal that cried, Bush-Cheney oil profits were the reason for the Iraq War, now we can see just one reason why Hillary might have voted for it.

Despite the threat from the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), the oil flow from the KRG region to Ceyhan has continued with around 120,000 barrels without interruption. However, KRG sources said that planned capacity of 300.000-barrel of oil export by July, could not achieved due to the ongoing ISIS threat.


Clinton also said we should start looking at Iraq as a business/investing opportunity...


Then FBHO pulled out and it went to shit right when things were getting better.

State Department Official Website: Iraq Oil and Investment

Investors in the IKR face many of the same challenges as investors elsewhere in Iraq, including corruption, red tape, and inefficiency, but a business-friendly investor law and generally stable security situation continue to attract foreign businesses. Foreign and domestic investment in the IKR has been rising annually for the last six years, with over 500 major projects valued at almost $25 billion awarded under the KRIL since 2006 and $6 billion in investment projects awarded in 2012 alone. The KRIL applies only to non-oil and gas projects.

Since passing its own Kurdistan Oil and Gas Law of 2007, the KRG has directly signed about 50 contracts to develop IKR energy reserves. The federal government has disputed the legal authority of the KRG to conclude most of these contracts, some of which are also in areas with unresolved administrative boundaries in dispute between the federal and regional government. Political blocs within the federal government have been unable to agree on comprehensive hydrocarbons legislation to address these issues. It is the position of the USG that signing contracts for oil exploration or production with any region of Iraq, without approval from federal Iraqi authorities, exposes companies to potential legal and financial risks.

When you have a Bush-Cheney NSC advisor sending emails to Hillary's campaign chairman about oil power plays in Iraq, in the context of ISIS and Syria, and that advisor sits on the board of directors for Raytheon, whose products are ending up in the hands of Syrian rebels, it's a big deal.

Hadley is the one in the middle of the Yellow Cake story, if anyone remembers.
