Uh, because it is?

TB — 5/6/2008 4:41:30 AM (archived)

We have at least a shot of reducing the amount of oil on our end that we need to import from OPEC.

We don't stand a chance in hell of forcing the oil out of them or forcing them to sell at our price. The idea is so ludicrous, I'm not sure where to start.

The Middle East exports 19 million barrels of oil a day. Of this, about 2.2 million barrels go to the U.S. If they cut us off cold, how many meals do you think they'd miss over there?
