You literally can't pump it out of the ground in less than 90 years (if all of the pre-war wells were working again). And ship it using what? (there aren't enough oil tankers to do it). And store it where? Would have to go back into underground storage (used oil fields).

I did the math on this back when he first suggested it. It is simply NOT feasible to take even 10% of their oil.

So we would have to take and hold oil fields all over Iraq (they are not in one place)... and it would likely cost more to occupy Iraq than the oil is worth.

Not to mention that IT'S A WAR CRIME you asshole.
