-Why dont we use our own resources?
- Well first we use everyone elses resources, then when it runs out we use our own and sell it back to other countries at an even higher price, if we decide to help them out...
it boils down to how much money can we make....

Oil shale is a pipe dream. Oil extracted from shale costs several times the amount of oil extracted by traditional means. Also, it takes 5 gallons of water to produce 1 gallon of oil from oil shale. Out west, we're running out of water as it is. If we have a dry year, we can't drink oil now can we?

It seems that now a days every war is labeled as a war over oil. The ironic part is that we are never given any discount nor access to oil in those countries that we have invaded for whatever reason.
I think that if countries want the US to liberate their country they can cough up oil agreements at a hugely discounted rate. Only suggested this because the other political ideas don't seem to generate revenue and cost us $$$ for war actions.
