Iraq so deshabile it can’t even refine it’s own oil

That’s right. Iraq’s oil economy is so wrecked it has to export crude to Turkey to be refined, then import back the gasoline and other refined products.

However, Turkey is so concerned about border security that it may shut the border for a day or more at a time. Obviously, thousands of backed-up tanker trucks are a hugely tempting target to guerrillas.
