I've already answered that twice. For the THIRD TIME:
OPEC
Saudi runs it
There's isn't even close to enough non-OPEC oil to keep America going
Yeah we have a lot of oil under us, but most of it isn't being drilled. Even if we abolished all the legal barriers to drilling it today it would still take YEARS to access it to a level where it could replace OPEC. There's nothing out there, not solar, not wind, not nuclear, not propane, not coal, not corn, not oil from other countries; that could replace OPEC before 2020 possibly even 2025. Which is why there's no way in hell we're going to attack Saudi any time soon.
Piss and moan all you want but the fact are unchangable: attacking Saudi directly would be suicide for America. There's no way around that for at least 15 years. None.

Hmmm, Russia produce as much oil as Saudi, Mexico also very much, US has enough for own use...bad excuse for whoring to Saudi Wahhabists. Oil sold on world markets, often through 2nd/3rd parties, plenty oil in world.
