Surely the US has known about Turkey's role in oil smuggling for a long time. I understand the complicated situation with Turkey and NATO but failing to cut off ISIS's monetary lifeline surely ranks right up there with Iraq's imaginary WMD in terms of intelligence incompetence or perhaps something far worse -- intentional deception for specific twisted foreign policy objectives.
Also, we must bear in mind that Turkey benefits from ISIS' taking on the Kurds who have long ben clamoring for a Kurdistan that would annex a chunk of southern Turkey were the Kurds to gain independence (as they should.)
