Up-to-date, aren't you? Search Google, "The Caspian is Widely Believed to be on the Brink of Becoming one of the Largest Oil Producers in the World, Second Only to the Middle East." You might even like to attend the Annual Oil and Gas Exhibition and Conference in San Diego this coming June. 2 + 2 might = 4.
Cartoonists see light more often than most, and they zero in on absurdities. When a politician says his constituents aren't allowed to critcize, they (and I) ask why not?

So you are saying that in order to get oil from the Caspian we would build a 2500 mile long pipeline across Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, some of the most rugged, inhospitable and politically unstable places in the world, instead of building a 300 mile long pipeline to the Black Sea?
Those evil geniuses at Halliburton must have been working overtime to figure that one out. But we're on to them now. They'll never try it, or a harshly worded editorial might show up in the Village Voice.
And all they had to do was trick the Taliban into destroying a few or our landmarks and killing a few thousand of our citizens. I'm sure that they feel that this is a small price to pay to line the pockets of Dick Cheney and his corporate cronies.
