Our Pals Turkey And ISIS Oil




ZeroHedge -- Finally, note that Ceyhan is less than two hours by car from Incirlik air base from which the US is flying anti-ISIS sorties. In other words, ISIS oil is being shipped to the world right down the road from Washington's preferred Mid-East forward operating base.

Now that we can add what looks like quantitative evidence that ISIS oil is shipped from Turkey to the voluminous qualitative evidence supplied by ex-Turkish lawmakers, investigative reporters, and the Russian government (to name just a few sources), we can now proceed to consider one final question: where does the crude that helps to fund Bakr al-Baghdadi's caliphate ultimately end up? More on that over the weekend.


We have to ask, to what extent is the US complicit?

Honest is as honest does.

I think that saying comes from Texas, but I'm not sure.

Texas has a good reputation for honesty and plain talk. It's different in DC.

That's why Jesus wasn't born in DC. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.

That's pretty genderist, LL.
