Geesh!
Alright already! If you're going to make that big a fuss
over it, we'll tell you who was in those secret Energy
Commission meetings. The only reason we didn't
want to tell you earlier was that its...err...a
little complicated. I mean, don't jump to any rash
conclusions until I've told you the whole story, ok?
See,
Osama Bin Laden was in the meetings.
Remember:
this was BEFORE September 11. This was before the
Taliban were the bad guys. In fact, energy companies were
inviting
over delgations of Taliban leaders to Texas. Why? Becase
we've been trying for
years to build a
pipeline through Afghanistan from the Oilfields of central
Asia.
Damn
it, there's a lot of oil up there, see, and right now the
Ruskies have got total control over it. A
pipeline through Afghanistan would solve the whole problem.
But the country's always been too lawless for any energy
company to operate there.
Enter
the Taliban: Say what you will about those evil doers,
but sure did bring in law and order.
Well,
everyone knew that if anyone could put in a good word for
us with the Taliban, it was the old Bush-family
friend, Osama Bin Laden. We didn't see any harm inviting
him over for a chat. We had no idea he was plotting to bomb
America then of course.
But
now Osama has--like Lex Luthor or the Joker--escaped justice
at the last minute. Kind of funny, huh? No doubt to strike
again another day--maybe late 2024...
