I'm not sure that I buy that. Cost is no object, the govt can afford to buy fuel if it needs it.

I'm not sure I can but it seems tautological. If the US is at war with the country that supplies us oil, I doubt any amount of money is going to get them to sell it.

Conversely, any country we import oil from during war time becomes a target to the supply line.

The US is a net exporter of oil and gets over half of it's imported oil from Canada.
