That is the reason that Iraq war never had the possibility of succeeding the way it had been hoped originally. Because of the flawed mission we could not utilize the oil and we were stuck protecting Iraqis from saddam loyalists and insurgents. Had the invasion been purely about removing a hostile leader ship and punishing Iraq by taking and using their oil, it would have turned out much better.
