Getting big oil from the US contracts over in Iraq does not amount to stealing.

Yup, you got it.

if we counted the dead Iraqis

As I said before, any type of precise count is pretty much impossible. People who have tried to count or estimate get results that are widely diverse, with the highest estimates being over a dozen times as high as the lowest. And that's just for total deaths, or total excess deaths, or total civilian deaths. Figuring out how many we kill is even harder. What use would an official estimate be when the high end of the range is maybe 30 times as high as the low, and that in addition is subject to political manipulation both up and down?
