There’s a legitimate debate right now about what America should do about ISIS, Syria and the Middle East at large.
No one in Washington though wants to talk about the real reason we’re there in the first place: Oil.
We’re dependent on foreign oil and OPEC has it, so keeping peace in the Middle East has been our top foreign policy priority for over 30 years. Over the last decade alone we spent more than $4 trillion and lost thousands of American men and women on military missions to protect Middle East oil.
How long is this going to last?
It was over 40 years ago, November 7, 1973, that President Nixon first called in a major speech for action on an energy plan called “Project Independence”

Thank You,
