You are obviously not up to speed on force field technology my confused friend. The Enterprise is capable of surrounding each and every well with impenetrable force fields that the Iraqis simply cannot get through. These fields also block the transmission of signals into any pre-set charges rendering them harmless. The Iraqis run up to the oil well and...CAWUNGG..CAWUNGG or ZZAP ZZZZZZZZAP..."hey! who put this invisible force field here!" If the charges are time-set then a simple tri-corder set to coordinates is capable of turning them off. These things were childs play in the early 70's and we have advanced well beyond that now. If you are still in doubt a laugh and a shaking of the head will do but to continue questioning the superior capabilities of the Star Ship Enterprise and commander Janeway or Captain Kirk or Jean-Luc Picard is stepping over the line. Isn't Jean-Luc French? Humm, yes, let's leave him on the sidelines this time shall we? Even your screen-name shows you are too much a realist to understand these things. Are rivers truely wet? What is wet? If you remove the hydrogen from the H2O is it still wet? No of course not. What if you remove the oxygen then light a match? It's not even close to wet is it? So SEE? Also have you never heard of miracles? How about wishful thinking? How about hope? Best guesses? Luck? Anyone? Help me out here.
This rant is much more entertaining when I picture you dressed up like -- and talking like -- Beetlejuice.
