Apparently somebody turned on the air conditioning in hell.
My best regards for all concerned who strike at ISIS. The international and political ramifications remain unclear. The Turks remain silent. Europe nada. Other than France who will not yet strike in Syria. Murky yet clear enough if you know the history. Situation will no doubt evolve.

''ISIS Makes Up To $3 Million a Day Selling Oil, Say Analysts''
There's the money Red and apparently formerly from Qatar, as well, but that's not confirmed yet. ''Karasik: Officials from the Iraqi oil industry have said that ISIS reaps $1 million per day in Iraq in oil profits and that if they get the Syrian fields in [areas where they're advancing], the total would be $100 million per month for both Iraq and Syria combined. They sell it for $30 a barrel because it's a black market. It's not pegged to international standards for oil prices, which are over $100 a barrel. The oil is bought through Turkey from Syria, and it's sold to black market traders who function throughout the Levant.'' cc.http://abcnews.go.com/International/isis-makes-million-day-selling-oil-analysts/story?id=24814359 Ollio's if u out there and haven't turned, Fundo (and left for ISIS Basic training Camp).....like the rest of your state.....you'd better learn 'duck and cover'. Turn those fields into burning piles of smoke. The environment will have to suffer till the heads are recaptured by friendlies. And I don't mean the Iraqi's. ------------- "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" S. T. Friedman Pilger's law: 'If it's been officially denied, then it's probably true' |

Don't need to bomb the fields, just a few well placed bombs to the pipelines, no pipes, no oil.

As long as the current Syrian regime exists, nothing can be changed in Syria and the region.

Cyrus, this isn't about the Syrian regime. ISIS doesn't give a crap about any of that, their stated intent is to est an Islamic state, which means no Assad, and a regime 10 times worse than Assad could dream of.
CNN is showing a fire fight between ISIS and Kurdish militia right on the Turkish boarder. The turk military is just watching. The Turks have not joined the coalition.
If it keeps up like this, Ollios may have to make his choice sooner than he thought.

It's theological Meden.....might as well as admit it. We need secular, non wacko, Sunni's not wacko shia's. The Turks have drifted to the wacko side for some time now. Cheap, illegal, oil is a bonus for them at this point.
Cut any US aid.. proportionally increase it to Jordan and Egypt. They'll either get the msg or they wont. But one thing's for sure.. like the rest of that region. They have no respect or fear or trust of-in this current administration. On that ya can bet big money. ------------- "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" S. T.

But this is just because the Syrian regime that ISIS came to existence, you can't fight forever against some extremists who are being increased in number everyday, unless you solve the main problem which is the Syrian regime. -------------

''It's theological...''
The Shia-Sunni war Reaches Lebanon ''Hezbollah is under pressure as the consequences of its ongoing intervention in Syria have come back to bite the terrorist organization. There are increasing indications that the sectarian war raging in Iraq and Syria is now moving irrevocably into Lebanon. The Shi’ite group is currently seeking to shore up its legitimacy by reminding its constituents, and other Lebanese citizens, of the role that gains it the most domestic sympathy – resistance against Israel. It is likely the strike at Mount Dov last week was part of this effort. It is also, in its propaganda, somewhat oddly trying to assert that Israel and the Sunni jihadis of the Nusra Front and Islamic State are allies.'' http://www.gloria-center.org/2014/10/the-shia-sunni-war-reaches-lebanon/ ------------- "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" S.

And at it's core still fundamentally, be it Shia or Sunni fanatic islamists.....genocidists and anti semitic.
