#1 The U.S. has reserves of oil, coal, and oil shale. Buying oil from the mideast is sowing the seeds of our own downfall and destruction. Ignoring that Saudi Arabia was spending $2 bn/year (largely money we sent their way) for 30 years to spread wahhabism poison is beyond me. This policy has bought us nothing but terror, destruction, and murder. It has emboldened our enemies to plot our destruction and seek world domination. We have too many self-serving "one world" dhimmiwitted politicians (both donk and pubs) in Washington who have not minded the store and allowed this to happen.

#2 The biggest Saudi oil reserves are in barely populated areas that could be easily occupied. A threat to nuke Riyadh, Mecca and Medina would negate threats to fire the well-heads. As for the Kuwait fires; it is true that they took 6 months to put out, but effective control of same was established in 30 days. And there has been much research on quickening the process. Of course, refining facilities would pose a real reconstruction problem: but not to us since all we want is the crude, and could care less if local arabs are forced back to their camels and horses. A post-Obama regime will likely seize the arabian oil patch.
