Wow.. I think one kid got a nice full-kick between the legs to the nuts..

You know, I bet they never even thought that the British would do any thing of that sort.. Boy I bet they were surprised, it's a set example for them to learn from, even though it is harmful force, but.. Why lose Allie soldiers over anything stupid where precautions could of been taken.

They should give the soldiers a nice supply of rocks to return fire. After a few of those punks get knocked out by a rock, the problem would be solved.

Werd, I think deadly force is too much, but I do think picking them up and throwing them off a 2 story building into a river could work.

Hell, I'd laugh if I could do it.

(Yes, most of my post was a joke)

But think about this, have any of you seen the cartoons made for promoting violence? They were made by Iranians to encourage Palestinian children to become more militant, ie, becoming suicide bombers, etc. Sends an awful message in a method that childen understand.

AMSTERDAM (ResourceInvestor.com) -- Even though Iraqi officials have become increasingly optimistic about crude oil production increases for the coming year, main stream analysis shows that one of OPEC’s largest oil producers is still not able to recover from the effects of the removal of Saddam Hussein, ongoing instability and terrorism and a totally destroyed up and downstream sector.

According to the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, Iraq will be able to increase its current fledgling crude oil export capacity to 2.8 million barrels per day (bpd) very soon. The latter is remarkable taking into account that total crude oil production of the country is currently around 2.6 million barrels per day, based largely on the southern fields’ production.

Within the last weeks, officials have stated that Iraq’s southern oil export facilities have been constrained by severe weather, resulting in long lines of tankers waiting to berth. Analysts don’t expect that Iraq will be able to substantially increase the production of its southern oilfields (1.5 million bpd) to the targeted level of 1.8 million bpd. Iraq’s oil sector is in shambles because of vandalism and outright terrorism during the last three years.

Iraq’s plans to increase production in the north (Kurdistan) or in cooperation with Syria should also be taken with a grain of salt. The centralised Shi’ite government in Baghdad has no real say in Kurdistan anymore. The independent Kurdish region has established its own legal and political framework, largely independent from control by the Baghdad government. The latter has become clear after a Kurdish official signed exploration agreements with several international operators, such as Norwegian independent DNO, who has already been successful in its search for crude oil reserves, as reported this week.

More international operators are expected to set up shop in Kirkuk and surrounding regions the next months. In total, Iraq needs around $35 billion to revamp its oil and gas operations. FDI however will not flow into the country as long as instability rules.

The only possible solution for the Iraqi government to speed up its production capacity will be to partly return to the Saddam era. Russian operators have been largely thrown out of the total constellation since the removal of the former dictator. Pressured by a lack of investments, Baghdad could opt to renegotiate already existing E&P contracts with the Russian.

LukOil [LSE:LKOR], one of the main contenders, still holding the rights on the Qurna field, Iraq’s hottest project, could become the unexpected winner soon. If the latter Russian-Iraqi deals proceed, Iraq’s production could still see an upsurge, leaving western operators behind.

Conclusion

As long as the Iraqi government is internally divided, largely based on ethnic and religious parameters, no real revamp and expansion of the oil and gas sectors should be expected.

Even in the last few days, a new political crisis has emerged within the government, as proposed Prime Minister Al Jaafari has been asked by main parties to revoke his position. The PM however has refused, stating that he has been elected democratically. However, opposition parties and the Western Coalition have urged him to step down, having been elected with the support of several extremist Shi’ite groups, such as the party of Muqtada al Sadr, one of the fiercest opponents of the U.S.

Western operators will not take the chance to become part of the current strive; investments elsewhere are interesting enough to put Iraq on ice for the short term. The latter will mean that the global market will have to wait a long time before the anticipated 2.5-4 million bpd Iraq, which the country is slated to be able to produce, becomes a relief to current demand and supply constraints.

Investors should understand, Iraqi oil is not yet a possibility to bring oil prices down.

Should just blow it all up like they did in the 1st gulf war; build huge walls around the entire country and dump a bunch of weapons inside and let them deal with thier shit.

Well we could still make a huge chunk of cheddar off of their oil, in 2004 they were 14th in producing and 11th in exporting. If we are going to help them they should burden some of the costs....either way not probable or practical.

After watching this, and reading the transcript of what happend on United 93, makes you think we should just pull out of Iraq and leave these savage fuckers to deal with it themselves, so they could kill themselves off. They will hate us either way.
