I did a research project for school on the subject of oil a while ago...the most recent figure I found was that 17% of our oil imports came from Canada (our #1 import provider). Saudi Arabia was actually #3 on the list, at 8% (I forget what #2 was, and I lost the linkage). It was either the '03 or '04 report...I'm fairly certain I got it from the Dept. of Energy website, but it DID take some digging to locate.

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.

NukeIt15 | *Points out, with a blinding flash of the obvious, that the US imports more oil from Canada than from the top four oil producing countries in the Middle East combined.*

Sorry, your "facts" are about 4 years old. Mexico is currently our largest supplier, followed by Saudi Arabia, then Canada, Venezuela, Nigeria, etc..
The top four "middle east" countries are currently supplying us with about 2.4 million barrels a day, Canada provides about 1.4 million.
