could it be possible the OIL is what the Iraqi people would need to rebuild their government and economy. I am sure no doubt that some of it will also be used to pay a considerable amount to this war also, If the US doesn't it'll be quite stupid wouldn't you think?
and if they do not secure the OIL fields would it be possible that Saddam will burn up the oil fields

Hm, someone who actually seems to get it. Saddam and the Iraqi army are setting those things on fire. Doesn't it make sense that if they think lighting their oil on fire, we who are fighting them would want to stop that from happening?
Close your mouths and open your brains. It isn't like we can cart off billions of gallons of oil when the war is done. That oil isn't going anywhere and without it, Iraq has NO ECONOMY after the war.
If we were setting them on fire, all we would hear is "Evil Americans are setting the poor Iraqi's oil on fire! It's all about the oil!"
Instead we hear "Evil Americans are stopping the Iraqis from lighting the oil on fire! It's all about the oil!"
Blah, blah, blah.
