I am Murdock


They call him "Howling Mad" and with good reason. Once a top notch pilot, the pressures of war left Murdock mad. He is known for his smirk, variety of personas and overall mental instability. When he isn't spending time institutionalized, Murdock is using his flying skills for the A-Team, driving B.A. nuts and talking to his imaginary dog.


Which A-Team member are you???

I really liked Hernan's last entry. I found it very truthful.

On another topic, I have found a good number of articles regarding the economical/political consequences of the Preventive War, that is coming.
Worth reading are "Current Oil Shocks could lead to recession", the links in "War with Iraq: Costs, Consequences, and Alternatives", of course the report itself.

As an exercise in mindless web browsing (and read the articles behind the links, they are there to be clicked), let's begin by taking a look at the National Debt of the U.S., as of this very moment $6,469,491,491,483.10.
Now as all good debts, it won't stay stationary, it will increase, the deficit for 2003 is estimated at $199 billion, and the forecast for 2004 may be higher than $350 billion.

The U.S. consumes about 20 million barrels of oil, per day, Iraq produces today 2,2 million barrels per day, (Rumeila 1300000,Kirkuk 750000,Other 150000) and has a potential of (Madschnun 600000, West Kurna 600000, Nahr Umar 450000, Nassirija 300000, Halfaja 225000, Ratawi 200000, Other wells 470000) other 2,6 million barrels per day. Let´s take a look at the Crude Oil futures, and the historical prices.

One of the most promising alternatives to fossile fuel so far is hydrogen-powered fuell cell. The budget for fuel cell research in 2004 will be around $875.8 million.
