It's not about having access to affordable oil, it's about having access to it period. Fact is, if it weren't America it would be China. I'll tell you this, if China had beat the U.S to the punch, I think we all would be in trouble.

i agree.. it's about "getting there first", landing the troops and then defending it when China comes for it... imagine if China controled the American energy supply as well as the economy! America better hope that Walmart stays in business or the US is in big trouble...
it's also about protecting Israel...
