So we should steal what we can’t buy?
It was ours to begin with. Who do you think explored, drilled and produced oil out of the Middle East? It certainly wasn't those Muslim simpletons. If not for our efforts 80 years ago, those camel-jocks would still be wandering the sands. We should take it back.

Ohhhh but that would be *IMMORAL* and the rest of the world wouldn't like us anymore!

I have no doubt we have the military power to seize the oil fields and terminals.

That is a far cry from keeping the oil flowing without disruptions that would cripple the global economy.

There is more oil in America than we could ever use but people are brainwashed by the socialist fools who could not care less and push such scams as resouce conservation,global warming taxation, etc. that the marxist mind beleives and fears. But the wise know better.
