archos,
Helo Wife,
I do go along with what you're saying. The other side of the coin is: As soon as those unfortunate guys are being released, the **** is going to hit the fan! They are the only reason why there was no retaliation by the Nigerian Army up to this day for having at least 14 of their men killed by the militants recently. The tragedy is yet to come. The Niger Delta is no childs playroom any longer.
Well, I see they've all been released now and I guess you work in Nigeria, so what's your take on what will happen next? Do you think they'll wait to attack oil facilities when the helicopters are on them and increase the publicity value of their attacks? We're told they have RPGs which they've used already, as well as GPMGs, so maybe the danger to the helicopter pilots in the Delta will actually increase now? I'd be interested in your views on what the future holds
