Never read the news without an oil pipeline map handy:

and scout the web for those boring little press releases behind the news:

Wherever the world is in flames, start looking for oil, drugs or money.

4. Actually it's smart tactics.

Discusting mind you but still smart. Hit you enemy when they least expect it.

5. Hear you, but in days of old there was at least a tacit Olympic "cease fire"...

It's sad.

7. Fuck olympics

Yes, when the Olympic Games started in 776 BC in Olympia, it was customary to respect cease fire. With these modern games deteriorating case by case on the altar of consumerism, I'm allready bored out of my wits. Are there Olympic games this year, you say? Don't bother answering, not interested.
