If that's the case, which sounds roughly right, the statement is still true -- we don't consume that oil. And while we may make a profit off of Middle Eastern oil by refining it, we don't need it at this point in time, as evidenced by the fact that we don't use it.

I would like to know exactly how much oil falls into that category.
