Did U.S. invade Syria for its oil fields or for its liberation?

In 2011 Syria began its own civil war with itself. Revolutions took place prior to the civil war. When the world saw what was happening to the people in Syria, they decided to intervene. The main reason for this intervention had to do with the push from the citizens seeing the photos taken by journalists of the children who were being injured. They couldn’t escape Syria.
