They pay just five cents for a gallon — thanks to hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer subsidies.

Cheap Gas that outside media sources (not imbedded journalists) have shown Iraqi's wait 10+ hours to maybe get due to it being so scarce.
It's propaganda, what other purpose does even reporting that Iraqis get cheap gas (this of course in the face of OPEC increasing oil output and US prices still rising) serve other then trying to piss off people who might be against war in Iraq to get them to change their minds?
Please note the picture running with the above story shows no gas station, iraqi's filling up on this cent a gallon gas or an Iraqi gas station with a gas price in it
