17. i've just noticed that our overseas military efforts so often seem to help the oil industry...

disrupting iraq's oil supply sure made the oil companies some ginormous profits!

plus, i've talked to plenty of people in both the military and the oil industry and they pretty much all think that the military should be all about protecting oil on the grounds that it's a strategic military asset and the key to the "american way of life".
