You Wanna Buy It Right?

U got Oil ? You wanna buy it right ? You wanna buy it right ?

A four-panel reaction meme uses Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala from Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, with American and Iraqi flags placed over their faces. Anakin asks, “U got Oil ?” and Padmé initially laughs before becoming serious and asking, “You wanna buy it right ?” The joke satirizes the claim that the Iraq War was motivated by American interest in Iraqi oil, and it is shared as a cynical political reaction.
