We were already getting their oil. And we were getting more of it than we are now. So your statement is wrong.

We should have finished the job during the Persian Gulf War instead of leaving that genocidal despot in control of Iraq.

Empire - A political unit having an extensive territory or comprising a number of territories or nations and ruled by a single supreme authority.
Now what is one of the goals of the United States in Iraq... ah yes, to get the Iraqi government to a point where they can operate and defend themselves with complete autonomy. Therefore, not part of an empire and not empire building.
