When is the USA going to stop using military force to secure oil reserves?

We have had 100 years of oil wars. Oil has 15 years to run. Better find some other reason to justify the 50% GDP spend on the Pentagon...When is the USA going to stop using military force to secure oil reserves?
I keep hearing the knee-jerk reactionaries like Hannity, O'Reilly rail against the dreaded Liberals, and any form of Socialism; meanwhile no one seems to notice that this is Communism in reverse. The government didn't take over business, business took over what we laughingly call government. Want oil, steal a country; need an army, maybe your crony has one, Insurance guy; pass a law or two; you say a guy you know makes wooden arrows, sure give him a fortune to carry him over, times are tough in the wooden arrow racket. When is the USA going to stop using military force to secure oil reserves?
Prove it.





A half truth does not make the truth. The left enjoys stating something over and over again until it becomes the truth. A Stalinist tactic.





The part that is the truth is that most of our oil is foreign.





The other part of the truth is that the left hates oil. So much so that they will not allow drilling in most of regions in the USA that are oil rich.





It's all part of the lefts happy march toward socialism.
No. Bad analysis. (America has plenty of oil). America uses military force for military objectives, and war is politics by other means. The balance of power in the Middle East might have something to do with the events of the last few years, and also a certain other country which (like Afghanistan) has no oil whatsoever.





Apart from the total lack of interest shown by the US in the Afghani oil industry, you might like to reconfigure that 'oil has 15 years' assessment. Oil does not have 15 years. Oil ran out in 1995, I know this because my geography teachers told me it would, back in the 1970's. When I was young and simple too.
When the politicians actually get their behinds in gear and work on alternative solutions, as well as offshore drilling in OUR territory.
they wont thats just their attitude 'yee haw lets get me some oil ma'...things dont reall work like that in the real world and you get problems like in the middle east
