I believe they have enough refinery capacity for domestic Iraqi uses. But we need to import refined oil now because it just isn't sufficient for our occupation uses.
The Iraqi's have been paying mere cents for gasoline for 30 years now. To go from driving for basically free to paying anywhere near even 50 cents a gallon would really cause widespread riots. I suppose we sell it to them at a loss now to keep that from happening.
