Iraq has 112 billion barrels of oil by a conservative estimate. Each barrel has 5.61 cubic feet. That is 628.32 billion cubic feet. That is over 4 and 1/4 cubic miles. That is a cube 4.25 miles by 1 mile by 1 mile. So where would be put this oil?

You leave some people there. No one will try to take it or do anything to the people protecting it.
