Good evening. And th im oliver north, and this is an engine of war. The value h1 helicopter, better known by its nickname, the huey. Theyll tell you that the whoop, whoop, whoop of that rotor was one of the most welcome sounds youll ever hear. To americans the huey meant life. It brought us food, ammunition, supplies, reinforcements. When we were wounded it carried us out. I ought to know, i was medivaced in vietnam not all that different from this one here. To the enemy the huey meant 5 in death. Ets an the gunship was armored with 2. 75 inch rockets and a machine gun that would fire over 4,000 rounds a minute. A virtual shower of zeroing lead.

I was wondering if you could go back to the cameron government one of the main plans was to go after shale gas, and whether they can do it whether we will be able to our Service Companies will be able to get business there, is it the right kind of rock, whatever it is thats interesting.
