Geeting hold of the oil fields would be easy...getting that crude to a refinery, making it into usefull by-products, and then having it shipped to the US, all with low enough production and transportation costs so that it cost less after our takeover than before, well, THAT is the hard part.If you don't like reality, change it! me

Congrats, Jackass.
