We do not offer combat-related assistance unless in rare circumstances it is determined to be against factions such as ISIS or Al Qaeda. This is fully legal per the Authorization to Use Military Force that Congress passed in 2001. Our main role is targeting and intel assistance to avoid mass civilian casualty. Otherwise, you will get what is currently in Syria. If we are forced to wash our hands of this, the Iranians will just fill the vacuum. Iran loves to come in an exploit for gain. Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, etc.

I just don't understand why we can't get our oil from more stable countries like China does. I mean if we are going for reserves, lets make a deal with Venzuela and forget about the middle east.

I don't know that Venezuela's the best country to be making deals with right now. I do know that if you go out into eastern Colorado, where you're always 15 miles from the nearest town, there is a ton of oil to be had if you can figure out how to get to it without pumping hydraulic fluid into the water table.
