    Hard to credit that the U.S. would ever export so much petroleum, with net imports declining fast.

The tinfoil hatter in me would argue that from a PNAC/Club for Growth/Bilderberg standpoint, flooding the market with cheap oil retards alternative energy development amongst the developing world while simultaneously depressing the economic power of global competitors. Not a fan of the Iraq War but from a Machiavellian standpoint, that instability and those refugees aren't spilling over our borders.
