Do you remember Saddam and his 'retreat' during the Gulf War?

He blew up oil rigs/set them on fire.

They estimated that it would take years to put them out.

The US oil/fire teams put them out in months.

First they have to seal the leak.

Then, we have to worry about the coast line.

Here's a tidbit about how stupid we are.

The European offshore rigs HAVE TO HAVE A SECOND shut-off valve system as a back up to the main emergency shut off valves.

So, all the AHs that want to regulate OSD can't even think that far ahead?

Everyone is to blame for this one.

FN morons.
