<Why can't we just take the oil to pay ourselves back?>
In a sense and indirectly we will-assuming that future supplies of Iraqi oil will tend to keep the price of oil reasonable and that will certainly be a boon to the economy both here and world wide.

BTW I have seen estimates that probably only some 10% of the oil in Iraq has even been discovered.
