As a US-led coalition hammers ISIS' oil infrastructure and other financial institutions in the Middle East, the terror group has cut salaries and infighting has broken out within the rank and file and senior leadership.
Reports of infighting within ISIS (also known as the Islamic State, ISIL, or Daesh) aren't new, but increased financial and territorial losses might be worsening the stress fractures that are splintering the group.
The Washington Post reported on Monday that ISIS is now facing an "unprecedented cash crunch" as the coalition ramps up strikes on its sources of wealth. Strikes have been hitting oil refineries and tankers as well as banks and buildings that hold hard cash.

ISIS salaries are taking a hit as a result of the financial losses. Some units reportedly aren't being paid at all, and some fighters' salaries have been cut in half, according to The Post.
The salary cuts specifically appear "to have significantly hit the organization's morale," according to Charles Lister, a resident fellow at the Middle East Institute...........sure pubs don't give obama credit for anything cowards republicans ,,,but I repeat myself
