I say the US should move in and take over. Make Iraq a US dependency, and appoint governors for various sections. These governors should be oil company executives, and the country should be run for the benefit of US oil companies. It'll be like the good old days when the United Fruit Company ran a number of banana republics.

I mean, heck, that's pretty much what the press in other countries thinks the US is aiming for, and will no matter what the US actually does. So why not go ahead and do it? If everyone's going to label you the great Satan, you might as well grow the goatee, stick on some horns and a tail and enjoy the part.
