How do you even "take" a country's oil? Suck it up like a slurpee cup and drive off with it?

Pretty sure the locals would start to a revolution against a small military force that was sucking their prime natural resource and keeping it away from the country and that would've put US troops in extreme danger.

I think his plan was to leave a force there that will guard workers who will be 'taking' the oil.

Even then its not a smart move. Its like he is a recruiting video for bad things.

Yeah but who's going to protect the "guards" ... lol? You're taking another countries resources, they out number you by several million .... that would be a (in Trumponology) a *disaster* waiting to happen. 

Even with a ton of troops and heavily fortified military bases, US troops were regular targets of suicide bombers and hostile attacks. A small ground force protecting an oil rig would be a sitting duck.
