Where would the mid east get the money for investment in our oil companies if we were allowed to produce domestically?

It is not the Middle East who have investments in our oil, it is our oil companies who have investments in the Middle East, as well as foreign being already more than 50% foreign owned.
We are talking about Global companies. Once a company goes global, there is no turning back. The oil companies don't want to see the US oil trade on a separate market from the Middle East, which is what would happen if we tried to go domestic.

Why do you think that BP did not support drilling in the ANWR?
