Of course the oil wells were top priority when we first started the war. The terrorists / rebel groups threatened to blow them up. We secured and defended them. The key word missing in your statement is controlling them. We don't control the oil wells. We simply defended them during the course of the war, and why wouldn't we? Our economy, and the rest of the world's economy relies on the oil wells.
