It's far cheaper to just buy oil. Also america could easily be energy independent except hippie dippie libs always oppose domestic energy production because of their utopian delusions about living in ferngully or whatever.

I never understand the "it was a war for oil" thing. Are we getting lots of oil from iraq now that we weren't previously, having gone to war "for oil" and all?
