BAGHDAD/BEIRUT (Reuters) -At least two fuel trucks were destroyed in an air strike by an unidentified drone on the Syrian side of the border with Iraq late on Tuesday, Iraqi security and border officials told Reuters.
The strike was carried out by a drone and targeted a tanker truck convoy carrying Iranian fuel that had entered Qaim border crossing into Syria, the officials said. "No Iraqi casualties have been reported", said an Iraqi border police officer.
A huge blaze was seen on the Syrian side of the border, said a security official. The convoy included more than 20 tanker trucks. Iran's state-run Press TV channel confirmed the attack and accused the United States of carrying it out, saying “a convoy of 22 tankers carrying fuel to Lebanon crossing from Iraq to Syria was attacked by U.S. drones" at the Syrian town of Albukamal.

They can always pump more oil *at least for a several decades)and replace what was lost by the end of the month. The trucks will take longer to replace.
Obama's proxy, Joe Biden, spend almost 2 years negotiating and sucking up to Iran. Biden went so far as to alienate Saudi Arabia for no good reason. Iran and Saudi Arabia are like fraternal twins. For some strange reason we have to castigate one and curry favor with the other. Liberals such strange, convoluted Effed up thinking!
After all the pandering by Obama and later his minion, Joe, Iran had to align itself with Russia!
How is Obama going to get his Nobel prize for peace with out a treaty with Iran? you can see why Obama is miffed!
