Kinda / sorta good point, but still... the US is oil-rich, and exports more than it imports already. You would think that the last thing the US would want to do is make it easier to import foreign oil. This means less jobs for you, and bazillions of dollars leaving your country. Wouldn't you want to keep the money, drill your own, and hire your own?
This is my point - it seems fishy...
