OIL COLONY

What are we doing in Iraq? What aren't we doing in Iraq? Was a new oil colony really worth the loss of life and the loss of over one trillion greenbacks?

 

OIL COLONY

 

O  Organic, unctuous residues

I  Induce waves of neoteric colonization.

L  Looters infest Mesopotamia!

 

C  Corporate greed

O  Observes no inhibition.

L  Leasehold estates were negotiated with

O  Only payment of pennies.

N  No alternate grounds explain

Y  Years of painful war.

You know, I love acrostics. The things one can come up with using the letters of another word or phrase are absolutely amazing. This acrostic is very powerful. Thank you for sharing.

Ahha! Nicely done! These are issues close to my heart. It doesn't make sence to me and I guess it isn't supposed to. It is like the poor children in the gold mines that make pennies and live basically as slaves. Makes no sense when people pay good money for gold.
You know the big oil companies just announced thier biggest profit margin ever last quarter. Explain that one. It didn't cost them any more to produce it and it's all done on percentages. The higher the price, the higher the profit. Plus the fact that the oil we are using today was probably purchased 2 years ago.
