No. We are an importer of oil.A wrong answer indeed. We actually have quite a large amount stored up. The problem is that it is only for the military. If the world runs out of oil, the military still has to protect us. In a state of emergency, the US government might supplement the oil production with some of this oil, but highly unlikely due to the burden it could potentially put on the military's ability to continue to kick ass.

It was not related. We are not taking over Iraq and stealing its oil, the "war" is not actually a war, it is a joint military effort between the US military and the military of Iraq against Islamic radicals.
The US military is much larger and stronger than Israel's. It is arguably the most powerful military on the planet.
The US produces around 19.3 million barrels of oil per day and consumes approximately 20.5 million barrels per day of petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. In terms of natural gas, the US produces about 33.6 trillion cubic feet per year and consumes around 31.3 trillion cubic feet per year.
The Arabs started to hold out on their oil which made making the US military mobile much more difficult, in turn making them less intimidating.
Approximately 19.15 million barrels per day in 2010.
That's where the world provides us with only so much stuff, and eventually we use it up. This will probably happen eventually with fossil fuels (such as oil and natural gas) because we consume them at a much, much faster rate than the earth can produce them.
