Isn't Libya in Africa and not the Middle East?
And a Libyan invasion didn't work in the 80's why would it work now?
Leaving the fuck alone anything associated with the Greater Middle East, keep internally the oil we have and use it internally instead of selling our resources, then buying middle eastern resources. If this doesn't solve our oil needs, close up some oil power plants, finish the nuclear projects we have started years ago, and build other ones now that we know better how to build them from learning from mistakes. Invest in new strategies in plastics as well so as not to require as much oil for production.
If it is indeed all about oil.
If it's about terrorist protection in the future, I am sure having our military back home and spending those billions on training and negotiations and national guard instead of bullets with an Arabic target in mind would be more beneficial and easier being on our own soil.
The United States Also Exports Oil
Because the United States is the world’s largest importer, it may seem surprising that it also exports about 2 million barrels a day of oil, almost all of it in the form of refined petroleum products. Due to various logistical, regulatory, and quality considerations, it turns out that exporting some barrels and replacing them with additional imports is the most economic way to meet the market’s needs. For example, refiners in the U.S. Gulf Coast region frequently find that it makes economic sense to export some of their gasoline to Mexico rather than shipping the product to the U.S. East Coast because lower-cost gasoline imports are available from Europe.

You're generally well informed, but do you really not understand how capitalism works? We don't sell our oil and buy theirs. And who uses oil for power plants?

Pretty sure you voted that new guy in... So much for change.
As per Semperfly's link, we DO indeed sell our some of our oil. And we don't sell it back to the Middle East necessarily.

No, I'm just pointing out something different was tried by electing a new guy that promised change, and yet we are still doing the same old things. This is the reason people are looking to alternatives like the tea party, even though its turned from its original awesome idea into some extreme right deal.
