Great lengths of the pipelines are undefended. It looks to me that the base locations relate to hotbeds of the insurgency and to defending the Kurds. Perhaps this map is some sort of a Rorschach blot test designed to ferret out conspiracy theorists?
I am quite mystified by the UN=USSR=NAZI graphic. The three organizations are quite different. The only thing they have in common is in having no particular relation interest or involvement in Iraq. It would be equally compelling to include a photo of O.J. Simpson.
