What a waste of time.

Those two losers won't have any impact on the US decision.

Obama has already stated that he prefers conflict oil from the middle east to ethical "dirty" oil from Canada.

There's more to it than what you see.

One of the US's biggest industry and export right now is military weapons and products. You don't sell those things without conflict. The US also wants to be in the middle east, they need to be there, they need to base their intelligence operations out of there to keep an eye on the extremists.
