two things
1. they said they would sell them fuel not give them it.
2. put yourselves in their shoes
If the USA were given the following 'offer' by OPEC (but using oil as the barganing chip), namely close down all your US indigenous oil refining and production capacity, disarm your strategic nuclear deterrent and we'll sell you all the oil you want (at a price to be set by OPEC), Would you be rushing to scrap your nukes or for that matter shut down your own oil fields.
you see it's hardly the 'deal of the century' when you frame it correctly is it.
