3. He is probably being very smart
If he pumps all the oil, then he loses the US protection for the country as do his children. I wish we were keeping some of our dwindling supplies back in reserve for leaner times instead of selling it off to other countries.

4. Leaner times

Fortunately for us we do have massive reserves locked away. Time to get our balls out of OPEC's vise.
