A massive oil spill where Iraq dumped 400 million gallons of crude oil into the Persian Gulf has also been dealt with.

Goal for us invasion into Iraq?
The United States didn't want to invade Iraq for their oil. (that was the earlier answer) The reason why the United States interfered was this: Kuwait and Iraq share oil fields, and every so often, each country is allowed to take a certain amount of oil from the fields. Then, Saddam Hussein decided that he wanted more than his fair share of oil. He wanted all of it. So he blamed Kuwait for taking more oil than allowed, to start a conflict that he might win. The United States thought that this wasn't a good idea, and they decided to invade Iraq to help Kuwait. (the answer to the question) The United States fought on Kuwait's side until Iraq and Saddam Hussein realized that they couldn't win. The Saddam Hussein did something so incredibly stupid. He burned all of the oil! Hussein was acting like a big baby, saying "If I can't have it, no one can!" The United States still won, but the disappointing part was that Hussein remained in power. When the troops returned, the American citizens provided overwhelming support for them. I hope you meant the first invasion, and I !!

In 1990 Saddam Hussein ordered Iraqi troops to invade the sovereign nation of Kuwait to plunder its wealth, oil was involved in an indirect way in that most of the Kuwaiti wealth was due to oil production.

Upon their eviction by the allied troops in 1991, the Iraqis set much of the oil fields ablaze causing an eco disaster of global proportions.
