Maybe the best thing to do is to drill for the oil but not extract it, using it as a strategic reserve should the shit really hit the fan in the Middle East.

Should things get really out of control, it will provide fuel for the military at a bare minimum to take action against whatever is shutting down the oil.

I meant to comment on this earlier. At the rate this Country uses energy, the big picture..not just gasoline..our current oil reserve would keep this country in ice and TV shows for approximately 13.5 days.

We'd have two weeks to get some more fuel..including to run the militray..another reserve would be an excellent idea.
