Oh, dear Lord, are there really still people so utterly uninformed that they think we get significant amounts of oil from Iraq?

Of the 10,863,000 barrels of petroleum we import every day, 505,000 come from Iraq. That's about 4.6%.

Crude Oil and Total Petroleum Imports Top 15 Countries

Boy, we sure are just sucking that Iraqi oil dry now that we've "secured" it, aren't we?

I think you're on the right track when you contemplate going fishing this time around......

If you will read my post as you would if you were to be examined in respect to content... I believe I said they have the second highest proven reserves. Not shipments of product. The point of course was to suggest other than that potential for our use we have little if anything to crow about. I will check my post for errors. Note Richyrich read it correctly !

P.S. A new well in Canada has just put them in second place !
