I kept the statement as vague as possible while still keeping direction(****ing hard as hell)...but what you said is my point. We have resources here...but for one reason or another we AREN'T getting it. (In my eyes inability basically meant the same thing).You couldn't be farther from the truth. Let me tell you about a little town called Gillespie Illinois. It is a very small farm town and the birth place of my grandmother. Not much happens there, except for the occasional marriage and the county fair. Surrounding this town is nothing but fields. In many of those fields are oil pumps, unused oil pumps. These oil wells still have oil in them, we just aren't collecting.
The Midwest and the Northwest of America has oil, a lot of oil. Here's the deal though, we aren't using it.... yet.
I'd like to point out that we don't know for sure what any other country's capability is. China may be hiding technology SIMPLY because they are waiting for a time when they can knock out our defense systems. I never said we were getting oil from being there. But indirectly we are. If it wasn't for our stability then no oil would be making it out of there. Yeah UN is getting the easy deal but we just have to deal with it. Someone has to do it or no one gets the oil. If you are complaining about UN getting oil and we aren't think about it this way....You are basically saying "Im not going to do it because you get good stuff too without helping...even if we are getting that stuff too." Right now we have to keep the mindset that we are doing it for the greater good of everyone that relies on this area's commerce.America being in the Middle East is not ensuring that America gets oil, but that everyone on the UN list gets it. We are there to provide stability and ensure that that oil keeps on flowing out of the borders.
I laugh at the mere thought that someone could stand up against America. We have DIW's and HAARP. Do you honestly think that anyone can get anything to our shores!? If they send boats we'll send a hurricane or maybe even blast them with a linear accelerator. If they fly we'll burn them out of the sky and if they launch a missile at us our defense satellites will detonates the war head before it ever gets to us. We may not have numbers like China, but we have technology that makes up for it.
If we didn't keep stability there....no one would step up.
