Though your proposal sounds like a lot of fun...if we are willing to spill american blood by the river...
Here is a better proposal...
How about drill here in the USA and in ten years all these goat humping child molester women beaters will be reduced to selling camel dung and sand fleas...and a little bit of oil on the side...

Both aganstan and iraq were militarily neutered within a few weeks; very few American causualties resulted given the size of the operations, and our kill ratio was superb. And, if the war was fought as a real war, would have been even higher.
Once we have air supremecy, we simply should carpet/fire bomb with air/artillery/tanks as efficiently as possible - to destroy everything, having no concern for anything but destruction. It's simply levelling a city or town.
After a few towns, all the villagers will run when they hear an attack coming.
When finished demolishing, set up a no-man's-land ring of death around the oil for defense.
If the locals come begging for food, set up a secure facility where they never come into physical contact with Americans but get herded like cattle in a stockyard, and they get a Christian preacher preaching to them piped in on a sound system while they wait and while they eat. Add on the cost to the nation's bill, to be paid back to us in oil.
It's only when we play house-to-house combat and we have politically correct rules of engagement that Americans get into far more danger.
If we only had to conquer, take the spoils of war and return home, the whole mideast would be wrapped up in a year. And, we would earn money instead of spending money. The oil profits could be used to pay down the Federal debt.
I would much rather not pump too much of our own oil until after we pumped the mideast dry in the above manner; that keeps us in the driver's seat.
