At one point back in February, it was just about $1 for one gallon. That was pretty sweet.

I know that in the U.S. we've had coal fires where viens of coal were
burning even though they were under ground but would anything
like that happen with oil fields?

I keep picturing something sort of like the fire pits of Apokolips (DC Comics Reference) just not in scale.
Russia would be very happy;

Anyway, we'd be looking at one hell of a fire, and laser guided bombs wont be work very well for the invasion of a Iraq.
Bah. Saudi Arabia's oil pipeline network goes through one point, so we have no need for ground-penetrating nukes :twisted:

Wait for the C6. 450HP stock, and the prototypes are already coming off the assembly line as mongooses (meaning that they'll kill a Viper in the quarter mile ... for a quarter of the price).

Also, the C6 will have no cam shaft. Everything the cam shaft used to do will be done electronically, which means that you can tweak the car even more.

My son, last I heard, Lord Wongs given name was Micheal and mine was Jesus 'walks on water' Christ. And as Lord Wong is a self confessed atheist, you comment is unfounded and illogical.
Concesstion accepted, my son.

Nothing personal, just always wanted to say that :)

It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.

Bah. Saudi Arabia's oil pipeline network goes through one point, so we have no need for ground-penetrating nukes :twisted:
It took two bombs to knock out all of Kuwait's off shore loading points, and 3 IIRC to kill the pipelines inland. So a single B-2/B-1 should be able to wipe out The Saudi pipelines, torch anything docked at the gulf loading points and still have enough payload left for the needed five ground burst B-61s to kill the water supply…

That would be a fun mission to fly.

Well, you also need the various conventional strikes to kill the rest of their water supply (those five points are merely the most critical).

A B-52 loaded up with ACMs probably could do it.

1.) I am not your son

2) If I really am your son, where the fucking hell is my child support?
