That's a pretty poor argument. Since when are we in Iraq purely for oil? Yeah, sure, on the same token we can just stop spending money on education, make it SOLELY a local matter, and do the same.
We can drill in Alaska and have lines set up in 10 years if we take our time. If it is an emergency, probably a couple years at best.
