This isn't the President weighing anything either way, this is just his shitting his pants because the wheels are coming off of his con.
Didn't say anything about that.

ISIS will be around for a long time because they're fanatics. Let someone else keep them in check for a while. The only question we should be concerned with is whether or not that oil is worth all the aggravation. If the goal is to use less oil, pollute less, and save the planet from global warming (or whatever) then pulling out of Syria would seem to be a step in the right direction.
Unless of course Elon Musk, the political left, and all the climate change alarmists are all wrong and we really do need the oil...
Based on 2015 production statistics, Syria produced 30K barrels/day (ranked 66th), the U.S. produced 9.41M barrels/day (ranked 3rd). I have seen recent article claiming that the U.S. is now the number one oil producing nation. The U.S. is most assuredly not in Syria for the oil.
We're currently a net exporter of oil.
