So what do we do with this board now that the entire thing just ended up being another grift for oil? Are you fucking newfags going to leave this fucking website finally?
To the extent that our Middle Eastern adventures of the past 40 years were "about oil", the point wasn't securing a supply of it but rather ensuring that we have control over where it goes (namely, not to China, if we so decide). This is part of why we invaded Afghanistan (so that the Iranians couldn't build a pipeline through it to China) and why we have like a dozen different airbases within range of the Strait of Hormuz
