Neither of you really addressed my question though. Are we actually going to stop buying Saudi oil if we get the pipelines built? Are we going to be buying less Saudi oil if the pipelines are built? Is the entire world going to stop buying less Saudi oil if the pipelines are built? I'm guessing the answer is always going to be "no" unless the Saudis are unable to keep up with demand or we're able to sell our oil for less than they do, right?
