ISIS: Follow the Money and Cut It Off

This is some scary stuff. With this kind of money they can buy pretty much anything they want, including nuclear weapons from North Korea.

IS has captured 7 oil installations. Reports state the militant islamist group is selling oil at $25 to $60 per barrel. Far below market prices.
IS held oil installations can produce up to 80k barrels per day
ISIS thirst for oil could lead to global catastrophe if unchecked experts say Fox News

 

[thereisnospoon2]

Now the GOP has a terrorist organization they can look up to,,,rich ISIS

my you have a firm grasp on the concept of absurdity.

The oil fields have to be out next target. We need to get ISIS out of there. Whoever is buying oil needs to be slammed.

Isis only wishes they could cause the damage the GOP has caused this country in the last 15 years and promises to do worse far into the future.

Obama created ISIS

He abandoned the ME and left our money and material for ISIS to claim

Obama?
Not according to the Atlantic, according to The Atlantic; John McCain sweet talked the Saudi's into funding ISIS. Obama was right, the groups McCain wanted funding for turned out to be the bad guys. My response to McCain thanking the Saudi's for funding ISIS is; Thank God, thank God the American people saw thru McCain's faux machismo and saw him for the little pissant warmonger that he is.

“Thank God for the Saudis and Prince Bandar,” John McCain told CNN’s Candy Crowley in January 2014. “Thank God for the Saudis and Prince Bandar, and for our Qatari friends,” the senator said once again a month later, at the Munich Security Conference.

McCain was praising Prince Bandar bin Sultan, then the head of Saudi Arabia’s intelligence services and a former ambassador to the United States, for supporting forces fighting Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria. McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham had previously met with Bandar to encourage the Saudis to arm Syrian rebel forces.

But shortly after McCain’s Munich comments, Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah relieved Bandar of his Syrian covert-action portfolio, which was then transferred to Saudi Interior Minister Prince Mohammed bin Nayef. By mid-April, just two weeks after President Obama met with King Abdullah on March 28, Bandar had also been removed from his position as head of Saudi intelligence—according to official government statements, at “his own request.” Sources close to the royal court told me that, in fact, the king fired Bandar over his handling of the kingdom’s Syria policy and other simmering tensions, after initially refusing to accept Bandar’s offers to resign. (Bandar retains his title as secretary-general of the king’s National Security Council.)

The Free Syrian Army (FSA), the “moderate” armed opposition in the country, receives a lot of attention. But two of the most successful factions fighting Assad’s forces are Islamist extremist groups: Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the latter of which is now amassing territory in Iraq and threatening to further destabilize the entire region. And that success is in part due to the support they have received from two Persian Gulf countries: Qatar and Saudi Arabia

According to ISIS, John McCain is a key factor in their success and-----and according to Breitbart.com: John McCain said he was “flattered” to be mentioned in the group’s magazine and-----and according to Council of Conservative Citizens: ISIS cites John McCain as a key factor in their success

ISIS has previous posted pictures of John McCain posing with Syrian Jihadists who are now members of ISIS. John McCain was a major proponent of arming Syria Jihadists, much of whom now fight for ISIS. McCain recently claimed that he could tell which Jihadist are the good guys and which would be potential ISIS/Al-Qaeda members. A claim that was ridiculed in the Arab media.
Once again ISIS is citing John McCain as a key factor in their success.

In an English language recruitment magazine, ISIS stated “the crusader John McCain came to the Senate floor to rant irritably about the victories the Islamic State was achieving in Iraq. He forgot that he himself participated in the invasion of Iraq that led to the blessed events unfolding today by Allah’s bounty and justice.”

Yikes!
It looks like McCain and his Republican cohorts don't care who's bombing who as long as bombs are dropping on somebody... or-----or McCain is just a fuck-up who needs Liebermann to whisper in his ear to keep stuff straight.

I never thought of that! You are right! These are GOP people now with all their wealth and prominence! They will start defending them like they have backed Adolph Putin soon.

Wait a second, I thought liberals believe America is the richest terrorist group on the planet ?

Obama's done more damage to the Middle East than a plague of locusts

 

[LoneLaugher]

When will some.....or even one....of our USMB nutters buck the trend and begin supporting the USA when it comes to our foreign policy?

 

[JimH52]

Obama's done more damage to the Middle East than a plague of locusts

Even with the interjection of US troops by both of the Bush blunderers, you can say this with a straight face? W created the environment for ISIS, all so he could give his buddy DICK a big bump on his Halliburton stocks and to gain revenge for Saddam's plan to kill PaPa. He attacked the wrong friggin Country!

 

[namvet]

you would think the darkie would go after their money. anyone else would.

 

[Mr. H.]

Maybe they will divest themselves of hydrocarbons like the Rockefellers.

It would be good PR.

Obama created ISIS

He abandoned the ME and left our money and material for ISIS to claim

isis was created when baby bush destabilized the middle east with his unnecessary war of choice, frank.

The issue started well before then, goes back to the Bush Sr years when the Iraqi army was routed and Bush Sr left Saddam in power.

If Bush Sr had pushed forward to remove Saddam, when the US had popular support in Iraq through democracy movements, this mess would not exist.

Instead Bush Sr sat back and let Saddam kill off all the dissident movements, and VOA was even accused of publicly claiming the US would give military support to the dissidents, knowing full well thousands of Iraqis could be massacred.

Saddam was able to solidify his power to the point that you couldn't have stability in Iraq without his security apparatus, and literally his police state was the only thing keeping the extremists at bay.

When the US returned to depose Saddam, and dismantle the police state, every terrorist cell Saddam kept down sprang to life. There were no real nationwide unitary movements for democracy in Iraq as they were killed off by Saddam, which of course created a major problem in uniting the factions in a democratic government after the invasion.

Obama owns ISIL, ISIS whatever the fuck you want to call them. Obama decided to withdraw all US forces so the Jihadists could regroup and he got what he wanted

You are a little slow, aren't you? al Maliki threw us out. No one was going to allow US soldiers stay in Iraq without immunity assurances. Google those two big words. Maybe you will begin to grasp what really happened, rather than what FOX News said happened
