Some people compare Obama to a sock puppet, and who can blame them. But in the meanwhile, here's this, from ZeroHedge:
"We wonder how long until someone finally asks the all important question regarding the Islamic State:who is the commodity trader breaching every known law of funding terrorism when buying ISIS crude, almost certainly with the tacit approval by various 'western alliance' governments, and why is it that these governments have allowed said middleman to continue funding ISIS for as long as it has?"
Good question.

Love the picture. And yes - that is a very good question.
Money is money and power corrupts.
Well, I'm not convinced that ISIL controls much oil yet, but the image is still apropos.
I should have linked, Adrienne -- apologies!
Can't worship God and Mammon, LL.
I liked the graphic, Euripides. According to ZHedge, ISIS controls some 80,000 barrels a day of Syrian and Iraqi product = $97 million a month -- in 2014. That figure is presumably smaller now, but still not shabby for a crew of white running shoe death cult bandits. So who's the broker?
Some point to Erdogan's son...
Nothing quite like an Islamic NATO ally.
