Before we invaded, Iraq had an oil embargo. They weren't allowed to sell their oil to anyone. Now they can. So, yeah, we did kinda get oil out of them.
As for Afghanistan, I don't really get why we're still there anymore, either. If I had to guess, I'd say the military industrial complex has a lot to say with that.
