That's what Frank J. says, anyway.

Would it just be easier to drive a hybrid instead of having all this killing? No, it wouldn't, because hybrids are gay. If our military can't keep us from being forced to drive gay little cars, then what exactly are all these gasoline taxes going towards? You better not tell me poor people, because I did not get an SUV to help the poor. It should be obvious that our military must be deployed with the sole purpose of stealing all the oil worth getting our hands on. It is a risk of lives, but I risk lives everyday I drive my SUV anyway.

Amusing, but impractical. Think of all those UN resolutions and condemnations that would follow. How could we survive? And our friends, like France fer instance, would be really really rude to us as well. Heck, they might even have big demonstations against us.

Of course, once we had the oil, their tune might change.

Once we had all the oil, then they could bribe *us* for a change!

Best idea since nuking the moon.

I think Frank J. Was doing what Frank J. does. He was creating a parody of the common argument for every military action in the last decades.

He was pointing out the same thing that the fat guy Ralphie from next top comic or whatever it was called saying basicaly. "If it's a war for oil, I better empty my change jar in my car and fill my tank, GIMME A WAR FOR OIL!" I'm of course paraphrasing horribly, but I think that was the point.

If this is a "war for oil" then, it's a "miserable failure" or the preceding premise is an outright lie to begin with.

If hybrids are "gay", does that
mean SUV's are "breeders"?

No wonder there's so many of those things
around these days! _That_ explains it! :)

industry come up with next?)

Err, wickedpinto... that's the whole point of Frank J. I don't think anyone who's read "Nuke the Moon" thinks otherwise, and I don't think that anyone posting here took it seriously.

> Think of all those UN resolutions and condemnations that would follow.

Zero. We'd point out that there are a couple of oil fields left and that if they wanted oil....

Very amusing, although hybrids still run on gas. It would really be easier to just drive pure electric cars and plug it in every 100 miles or so. Of course, we'd all have to get some wood burning stoves too for heat...after we do that, we won't even need to steal no oil.

Don't need to plug in at all. Just equip the freeways with induction zones that those low on power can drive over to recharge.
