We should sneak a sub into their waters...just in case..

I read about that in the papers. I didn't think we would have been interested in redoing the Falklands again in this day and age if Argentina invaded again, but this of course, changes everything. Hurray for black gold! Now all we need is to find some in Gibraltar!

You think we went to war with argentina over sime tiny island in the south pacific and didn't know there was oil there? Funny how we never cared as much for keeping hong kong/guyana etc etc. Oh no, they knew. It's just came out now that is all.

VIVA LA PERON!!!!!

Yeah, it's pretty much been an open secret for years there are potentially huge mineral and fossil fuel deposits around The Falklands, South Georgia and The South Sandwich Islands.

Sounds like its time to take The Texas out of mothballs and claim us some new beach front property.

I'll stand by you and forge an army the likes of which the world has never seen....."BLOOD FOR OIL, BLOOD FOR OIL"

Beach-front? The Falklands makes Scotland look like California! They have Penguins!

Plus, do you really want the SAS breaking into The White House in the dead of night?

Texas has been threatening Secession from the Union since it joined the bloody thing, and yet only now are people truly expecting it to happen.

If we had done that in 1775, We'd have all that damn oil!

I think you missed the part where I said the Texas...a break in at the White House would distract everyone while the mighty Texas Navy, led by the Confederate Air Force, takes the Falklands and we again regain our might as an oil superpower.

Besides, why break in when you can just take a tour?

Because the last time they let Citizens of the British Commonwealth into the White House was 1812, and we all know what them dern Canadians did then.

I don't actually. My relatives were too busy chasing redcoats through Louisiana swamps at the time.

Pffft! What have the Canadians done, except barrage us with horrible pop-rock?

Meanwhile China drills for oil off our coast from slant drilling out of Cuba...

They're just going to use it to make our cd players. We'll get it back in a few months. Oil drilling and production has become more and more nationalized over the last decade, with most mid eastern oil countries basing their governments around oil profits and countries like russia and venezuela nationalizing oil companies for various shady reasons. Exxon and chevron are going to have to find oil rich areas that don't have people living there for them to exploit and shoot for a while.



Isn't calling your ship "clear leader" similar to naming your horse "she's the fastest!"?

DAMN! Outflanked again!

Exactly.

I'm pretty sure I would volunteer to bomb texas if they tried to secede. It would finally be a way to do it legitimately. I might even get to fly a plane.

Right - I'm sending the SBS to Frazzled's Lawn, whilst Simon Cowell infiltrates his back-yard with a knife in his teeth, pirate-style.
