That would make sense. If a war with Iran happens, the Persian gulf would be shut down for ships. The only way to get crude oil out of Saudi Arabia would be by air.

Gotta keep those gas prices low, right? Otherwise all the trumpets wouldn’t be able to afford to put gas in the ‘Hemi. And his base would abandon him.

He thinks he’s so smart. But he’s so painfully stupid. [/quote]

You are not this stupid?

Tanker aircraft exist only to refuel fighter jets and long-range bombers.  They do not export oil from Saudi.  Or anywhere else.  Oil that we don't really need.

Remember?  The US is a net oil exporting nation.[/quote]

Looks like you’re the stupid one here.

You can use a tanker just to transport fuel, too. You’d need several of them to equal what could be transported by ship, but they’re so much faster that a dozen of them could probably move the same amount of oil a ship could move, in the same amount of time.

It wouldn’t exactly be the first time a republican miss-used our military. [/quote]

A supertanker holds 2 million barrels.  It would require HUNDREDS of heavy duty tanker.  That's 84 million gallons.

A KC-135 tanker holds 30,000 gallons of fuel (which is less dense than oil.)[/quote]

In other words, it would require about 2,800 10-hour flights to move the same amount of oil.

A quick web search reveals the military has over 300 such tanker aircraft. So they could easily accomplish moving that amount of oil in less than two weeks. Even faster than a ship could move the same amount of oil.

I think you just proved the PP’s point. While trying to refute it, lolz!

Silly trumpet.

Except we import 42 million gallons of oil per day.[/quote]
