the Middle East is where the oil is. That implies that there's not much oil anywhere else to be had, at least not at production levels needed to maintain our way of life, which Cheney also commented on, saying our way of life was "non-negotiable". As it turns out, of course, he just meant HIS way of life is non-negotiable. He doesn't give a shit about our way of life.
