The numbers I've read are a little different and a little scattered. I've seen about that 7% figure from Saudi Arabia alone. I've seen 13% for the Middle East figure. I've also seen 10% for the Middle East figure.

It is maybe interesting that many US oil refineries purchase their crude indirectly from Middle East sources through Russia. A 2001 Reuter's report (reported on ABC) estimated that 9% of US Oil imports came from Iraq via Russia. I don't how much weight to place on that story but it's out there. Maybe it's bullshit. Maybe it's true.

At any rate, less than 15% maximum directly from the Middle East. The US is ok. You're right. This ain't exactly 1973.
