Unfortunately, I'm sure that plan has our troops going in and seizing the Saudi oil fields and maintaining an armed presence at all costs, while our so called European and Asian allies (along with the gutless POS United Nations)sit back and spill no blood or expense.

But these so-called allies will demand the booty and show no appreciation for our efforts, like the ingrates they have always been, and we'll bend over backwards to placate them, IMHO.

If we are forced to secure the oil fields, we should mandate a 'security fee' on every barrel of oil loaded onto tankers not bound for the US. I think $5/bbl would be appropriate. They'll chip in, like it or not.
