This is the only pertinent question in the thread. I think it's telling that he didn't answer it.

Why would we spend all this money (and subject ourselves to enormous risks) to secure your oil when we have more oil in the Bakken fields and off the Atlantic and Gulf coasts that we could get for a tiny fraction of the cost?

Edit: I think some people are misunderstanding my point. My point is that if we were really motivated by oil, there are plenty of easier/cheaper/faster ways to get it. I'm sorry if there are significant numbers of Kurds who really doubt our motives in wanting to defeat ISIS, but I can tell you we really are motivated by humanitarian concerns.

Do you (or anyone else) ever run Tabletop RPG games or programs at the library? I know people in /r/rpg have often talked about using them in mentoring roles for at-risk teens.

Is there any chance this made it onto film somewhere? Maybe for the 25th anniversary extra super anniversary edition?
