Iraq needs to pay the US for all of the money we spent on salaries for every serviceman and woman who served in that battle, plus all benefits paid out those wounded and to the families who lost loved ones. Then they can replace us for the ammunition we used, wear and tear on the equipment, cost of fuel to transport everything to the area plus the fuel spent during the battle, etc etc etc.
Then, we can do it all over again for the second battle.

For your info, IRAQ was paying back from the oil...
As for the Gulf war of 1991 , US paid in fact very little... :
Around US$36 billion of the US$60 billion cost was paid by Saudi Arabia

.. and that war had definitively more ground to it then the US invasion ...
