I think the chances decrease for number of attacks, but I still believe the sites are very accessible. I have spent significant time on the sea, it is a major part of my life. Protection of offshore sights is very difficult. Additionally, I don't look at 150 miles as being far off for even very small boats.

I agree that the most likely target would be a US owned rig (Chevron or Exxon, someone like that) versus a company with local ties, but you never know. They could try to hit directly at a local business/company for political reasons. If Al Quada, I would say US is more likely for sure.

I have already seen word that US protection will be around the area. But we all know that is very difficult. There is even likelihood that an attack could be directly at that protection versus the rigs, and the USS COle is proof of that.

In summary, I don't believe that attacks offshore will be very likely, and see them as very uncommon if they happen at all. But if one does happen, I see it being a far more major event than any of the small local attacks that are happening now.

I only have three posts per day, this is it, so sorry I can't respond to anything else today. I am also heading out on the water here shortly, though I will be staying within ten miles of shore the entire day. LOL.

Cheers,
