That's an undoubtedly bad reading of U.S. policy.

How do you think that is wrong?
It certainly is not oil.
We would buy the oil from whomever controls the region.

Really? Buy oil from ISIS? You're kidding.

We buy oil from Chavez and most of the western world was buying oil
from Saddam in spite of our embargo. The shieks are pretty scummy guys
and we don't seem to care what is happening in Nigeria.

Why not?

You only have to look at the other places with evil things going where
we have no problem buying oil to see that. Oil companies and dictators
get along just fine.

Without the Israel problem, we would just pull out the military and
let the big dog eat.

How does that address Iran seeking nukes?

If we had not given Israel nukes, they would not feel the need to have
them.

AYFKM? Their clearly stated motive is to "wipe Israel off the face of
the earth"... They know damn well the west would never let Israel use
them as a first strike force, you know it, Israel knows it, Iran knows
it but it. Israel is not looking to "wipe" anyone off the face of the
earth, that's why so much of their weaponry is defensive....

There is no such thing as a defensive nuke

As a matter of fact, part of the planning to stop a Soviet Invasion of Europe through the Fulda Gap
included the use of defensive nukes to form barriers.
