This country has enough oil supply to last 200~300 years at current consumption rates, if we would just produce and refine it. I think our government wants to run the middle east out of oil before we use our own.[/QUOTE]

Thats probably what they want to do, but then the government will just sell it to all the other countries for more money anyway and claim there's a shortage and keep raising the prices here. You just can't win.
