Probably just the stuff that conspiracy theories are made of but you never know. The US does have more than enough to power itself for years to come without needing to import any.
Other theories say that we use foreign oil as opposed to ours so that when they run out, we still have our own supply. Seems to make sense if you think about resource management...

We need to get off the oil tit either way... now that prices have dropped back to 2007 prices again nobody seems to care. Wait until the next flare up and they will be throwing a hissy fit again. Short memories...
