<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Northern reserves of oil have been claimed by
four countries, of which the U.S. is one. At the moment all</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>that is known is that the issue has not been
decided.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When the 10 years have past, thats how long it take
to develop a oil field, from drilling to delivery, oil should be at 10 dollars a
barrel. By the by it now cost 6 dollars to pump it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With the remaining four dollars you can buy a cup
of coffee in a Moscow cafe:) but you will have a difficult time building an
airplane with four dollars.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Concerning the Russian military, it was down hill
ever since the withdrawn from Taliban country. Is life dangerous in the
Russian army, of course they drink way way to much, but they have only for
fought rebels and a fools army. Most reports I have read was they
lacked chain of command, and half the troops were drunk or on drugs. Check
the military advisors of CNN who was sadden as he once had command ed these
troops when times were different. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Russia won the war because the knew that the
Georgian's were going to attack and how they were going to attack, superior
intel, They were already massed just waiting for Custer to come on down to the
valley. Superior numbers superior itel and a plan well defined(BEFORE HAND)
allow the rout.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At present there is concern as you have said that
China will take the eastern time zones from Russia, but the Russian
government is making plans to defend such an act. As you well know that is the
part of Russia where the real wealth is in oil ,coal and other
minerials.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Concerning Russian women ; they are quite
beautiful, but they were the reason Russia survived the meltdown in 1998,and
Russian men as you know have a life expect of . only to age 55,
because of their heavy drinking which also is caused by these same Russian
women:)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Facts, John , I don't need facts, I am a writer for
Sara Palin, and we both know you can see Russia and China from her back
window:)</FONT></DIV>
