Did the USA offer to at least pay for the coffins of the 1.4 million Iraq civilians that have been slaughtered since 2003
And while I have your attention - appproximately 90% of the Iraqi oil is in the hands of US corporations such as EXXON
Take a million with one hand and give out crumbs with the other -
Did the US kill 1.4 million Iraqi civilians? No. In fact, even if your number is correct, the vast majority of them were killed by other Iraqis seeking dominance and control. The Shia and the Sunni have been fighting each other for centuries. Are we responsible for the actions taken by these individuals? NO. If you really want to point fingers at someone over the violence there, then start with Syria and Iran who have been funneling weapons, fighters and support to those doing the violence, not the US which has been making efforts to stop the violence.
Is there an Iraqi owned multi-national oil company? Did they have the resources to put out the fires and rebuild the infrastructure necessary to exploit the resources there? Since companies in the US were the first to intentionally drill for oil and make useful products out of it, and were the only source of them for many years, then yes, we may have more oil companies registered in the US than elsewhere.
Since you claim that US owned corporations control 90% of the oil there, do you have any data that actually supports that claim and a break down of everyone involved in the oil industry in Iraq?
