Why? The people who own the elected office holders benefit from
expensive oil. The federal government has done everything it can to
bring about expensive oil and oil products.
1) regulation that is designed to keep new players out of the game.
2) unused leases on federal land held by insiders (aka big oil)
3) War.
4) War on credit (aka inflation)
5) threating war (with Iran)
6) interference leading to conflict (Georgia)
I can go on. But none of these actions bring about 'cheap' oil.

I see you're ignorant of how the US's puppet in Iraq fell out of favor.
After doing what a client state of the empire is supposed to do in
waging proxy war, Iraq began to pump like mad to pay off debts. This
drove DOWN oil prices. The powers that be are not happy about it. Angry
over accused 'slant drilling', SH asks the US government what it might
do if he invades the neighoring nation. The answer is one worded in such
a way as it can be denied later, but the meaning any reasonable person
would take from it is that the US doesn't care. So he invaded. Bingo,
they got the reason to stomp him.
