First off, I'd go to Pakistan/Afganistan and hunt down Osama, bring his corpse back to the White House, collect the ransom.

Then, funding myself with this money, set up a small empire in the backwaters of Afganistan, paying lipservice to the president.

Then, assassinate Saddam, wipe out his hierarchy, and install myself as a 'freely elected' president...with elections every 10 yrs. Appease US by selling them lots of oil.

Assassinate top Kuwait officials. Merge Afganistan, Iraq, and Kuwait.

Using the cloak, infiltrate Iran and trick them into invading Iraq.

Make a demonstration by singlehandedly wiping out battalion after battalion of Iranians. Force them to surrender and annex Iran. Extend my sphere of influence into Saudi, and use my vast oilfields to tweak US foreign policy until they are totally reliant on my oil, and use the cloaking device to rig elections so right-wing neoconservatives who will damn alternate energy sources to hell will be elected.

And then, of course, with the US totally dependant on my oil, use them as my lapdog.

More on my plot to take over the world forthcoming.

Pu-239: It seems to only come on when he was attacked. It seems like the Gou'ald shield in essence, just modified so that it will work against slow moving stuff. So he can pick stuff up. It isn't shown in action too often and only in that one episode.

Gladly. First I would destroy Optimus Prime (again) and then Rodimus Prime after he takes possession of the Matrix (again). I suppose Ultra Magnus would come next, but after seeing those accursed Autobots promote that insolent welp Hot Rod as their new leader, for all I know Wheelie could be next in their puzzling line of succession. With their leader gone, I'd have my Decepticon cannon fod... er, warriors hunt down the rest of the Autobots and destroy them too (except for Arcee--I have other plans for her).

The problem is the US could always get the oil from Venezuela so you would have to go there too, leaving you vulnerable since they could blow up the ship or plane you are on, leaving you stuck in the Atlantic.

Well you could also cloak and then sneak onto a ship or plane. For safety always stay in heavily populated civilian centers where they can't blow up the ground beneath you without causing collateral damage. Oh and sleep in the streets with the cloak on.

After all if you are in Afghanistan, they would not hesitate use tactical nukes to get rid of the invincible invisible menace.

Nah I would just wipe out the current US government and the Republican and Democratic Party chairmen. I would then replace the US Congress with people loyal to me- currently none however.

then go about "cleansing" the earth of idiocy- ie make laws prohibiting any idiots from breeding, after I have taken over the world. Of course I would also have to go to china and cleanse the place of communism. Then go to the vatican and make the pope declare contraception ok since we have too many people in the world.
