The Oil Crisis

I have created this topic to discuss a great U.S.A problem: oil. Now it is no secret that oil prices are rising, and the U.S. seems to be drilling more and more over seas. Many people oppose this act, but I for one see this as opportunity. Since the war in Iraq, the tension between the Struewel Peetas and Iraqi insurgents has increased. All over the middle east, the Struewel Peetas have been sneaking into insurgent base camps. Once inside, they would deploy ear worms into the enemy mind and convince him or her that his or her camel is not where he or she parked it but that he or she and his or her friend (depending if he or she is with a friend in the first place) should praise allah that they are still all right.

In retaliation, the insurgents wrote letters to the Matterhorn located in the icy mountains of Denali. The Struewel Peetas were enraged by this fact, so they have officially declared war on the terrorists. Sadly, they did not have enough resources to fight the war so plenty of them counted on using camel carcas as tents. For weapons, they bit off their own limbs and used them to bludgeon the enemy to death. They have suffered heavy casualties.

Now I am asking you, which side should the U.S. take?

Is this a joke?

To many, this situation is a joke. Plenty of people think that this will just blow over. However, me and a few other individuals think that this is a great opportunity for the U.S. to secretly supply the two armies and wait for one to wipe the other out. Once that is done, the U.S. can make allies with the victor and later send over sheep to the land so that the sheep can mate with their goats and create the perfect breed of cute furry creatures that have the ability to bash your head in.

a satire.....?

If you cannot take this seriously, I kindly ask that you take your pessimism elsewhere.

what pessimism?
