If we train their army, isn't that going to make it harder to steal their oil?

You're right. And it isn't going so well with our puppet regime in Baghdad. They keep giving the oil to others, like Canada and Turkey. Foiled again!

BAGHDAD — Iraq has awarded its first oil development contracts since the fall of the Saddam Hussein regime.

The Oil Ministry has awarded development contracts to companies from Canada and Turkey. Turkey's Everasia was awarded a project to develop the Khurmala Dome oil field in northern Iraq. Canada's Ironhorse Oil and Gas was selected to develop Himrin field.
