After 15 years, Iraq is still in ruins. The intention of the US was not about oil, but to teach arabs, all arabs, a lesson they will never forget.
When Iraq invaded Kuwait, it was after US gave them the green light. Iraq was financially bankrupt after fighting iran in the 8 years war. And Kuwait was stealing its oil by horizontal drilling and selling above its opec quota depressing prices. Thats why saddam burned the oil fields when retreating.
