We aren't protecting Kuwaiti oil. We are protecting our oil. We want to ensure oil continues to flow to the United States. Without it, the United States grinds to a halt. Both our economy and our military stops in it's tracks.
This is why Japan attacked the United States in 1941; Our entire foreign policy for the past sixty years is geared towards ensuring oil continues to flow to the United States.
