It's not just about the oil.

400 calories of Saddam

And that is my problem with vegetables. I need to eat for a very, very long time before I'm full.

Well if you're looking for caloric density, look no further than drinking oil. Enjoy.

That is why we have dressing.

This is a problem for me for real. I get tired of chewing. I started making smoothies with frozen veggies (or beans) and fruits after I work out. I still try to eat veggies with meals, but I'll get a couple servings by drinking it.

I started marketing soup and such. Lentils, beans, anythings is mostly viable and much more filling.

it takes about 42 gallons of crude oil to make 19 gallons of gasoline, and each gallon of gasoline has about 28,746.746 calories. so if i'm doing my math right (it's been a full day), 400 calories of crude oil would only be about 117 grams. seems a bit foolish to start a whole military operation over 117 grams, but i also wouldn't put it past them.

as an American, I smell deep fried fish on your keyboard.

was your deep fry oil sanctioned for food related activities or do we need to liberate it from you oppressive fish frying regime?

Hell, I wish our motives were still better transparent. We're giving people bombs to kill civilians with new strategic advantage whatsoever.

Gaza has valuable fossil gas deposits and Mediterranean beach front real estate. That's what the US wants a piece of.

That, the biblical doomsday prophecies, and political pressure/extortion groups like AIPAC.

Very true, but it's still silly. At some point the oil runs out. China gets this and is pushing hard on renewables. And we're being stubborn instead.

It's like our leaders never played a decent civ game.

They’re too busy trying to make christ return

If our leaders were playing a decent civ game, they wouldn't be leaders. The leaders would be saying to themselves "One more turn and I'll quit".
