we get most of our oil from three countries: The US, Mexico, and Canada.

Saudi Arabia is our number two (maybe three) source of foreign oil, after Canada. Last I looked they were still in the middle east. The Saudi oil industry was built decades ago by an outfit called Aramco--short for Arab American Corporation. We have been in the middle east for oil for generations.

What you posted simply isn't true. Saudi Arabia is our #5 source of oil, but we get very little from anywhere else in te middle east. In total, 1/8th of our oil comes from there, meaning 5% of our energy needs are supplied by the Middle East. I'm not a huge fan of George Will, but See Here.
