But one does not negate the other.

Either we have a selfish foreign policy, or we don't. Just because the correlation of oil is there, does not mean that is our motivation. We openly irritate the people of these oil countries in the middle east with our support of Israel. If we were self serving in policy, wouldn't we want to make these people happy, and forget the one who provides us with nothing? If the answer is no. We must have greater motives to our foreign policy than simply: "What can we get out of them?"
