Why do we continue supporting terrorism by buying terrorist (supported) oil, instead of drilling our own ?

Who is selling oil to U.S. that doesn't have a terrorist connection ??Why do we continue supporting terrorism by buying terrorist (supported) oil, instead of drilling our own ?
that is a loaded question


first we do drill our own oil, but it doesn't satisfy our daily American needs. thus we also have to get some from other countries.As for the terroists conncections, that is somthing that the american oil bussiness doen't carea about when they buy oil. they goal is to buy cheap enough oil to meet the demand of american needs. I am sure these companies do care somewhat but a companies put iteslf first before the people it serves.


u can help us stop being dpendent on these counties by helping search for good alternate fuels/energy for us to use for our daily needs.


welcome to the complex interests of the different people/companies/organizations/governmen鈥?of theworld.Why do we continue supporting terrorism by buying terrorist (supported) oil, instead of drilling our own ?
Actually, your government is SMART doing that. You have a war or crisis and presto, you have domestic OIL supply.





Quite alot of oil comes from Venuesla and Canada. I know Fox news might tell you otherwise but to my knowledge Chavez is not supporting terrorism, he just does not like the Monroe doctrine (I think thats the one that says his country is in your sphere of influence) very much.





If the Saudi government ever falls, it will likely get replaced by something worse.
Are you sitting on a giant stock pile that we can drill? Sorry, they have the oil and we need it.
I really don't know why the US buys oil from other.. don't you have lots of oil fields yourself in Texas and Alaska...??
Blame gov't red tape, the environazis and the Democrats
';Greens'; file lawsuits whenever any one wants to drill. Their allies in Congress block legislation to allow drilling in ANWR.





Canada, Norway, Mexico.
The US passed its peak of oil production in 1970 -- that means any oil that is left domestically now takes more oil to extract than it's worth.





The world will pass its peak soon, if it hasn't already. The majority of the remaining oil that is worth extracting is in the Middle East.





Hence our continued presence there. If we can control some country there then, in a sense, we will be drilling our own.





Don't want to support terrorists? Then don't drive, and buy local goods. Many people do it -- it's easier than you think.
I buy my gasoline from an Exxon gas station. I don't think that theu are terrorists.
Cuz the Saudis are our friends. We cant disappoint our friends.
we get alot of oil from the tarsands in Alberta,I went to the Calgary stampeed once and judging by there prices I felt like it was a terrorist nation,But with lots of hot chicks.
If it weren't for the oil there would be no terrorists, no war and no reason for the problems. We want their oil and they want us gone.





Need to find another way to power the country. Almost all of the oil is controlled by opec and almost all of opec is hostile to the us. It's just the way it is.
