Has Washington Just Shot Itself in the Oily Foot

If the oil is under control of ISIS then it's under western management. Does anyone believe that the US fleet could not destroy ISIS in one day?

The glut of oil has it's origin in economic stagnation. The fight is about customers not supplies.

"Iraq's diplomatic agency and oil ministry are actively working on finding those, who buy oil from the group, and to inform the international community on it for taking appropriate action," the Finance Ministry representative said.

Syrian government is the main customer if you can believe it.

1.) Libya, Iran and ISIL are selling oil at huge discounts for cash and pumping as much of it as they can

Do the ISholes show up with Toyota 1/4 tons full of oil at terminals and say "just make the cheque out to ISIS"?

As for Libya that is PetroCanada's doing. They own 51% in a partnership with the Libyan national oil company.

Russia signed a deal with Iran and India who just made a half billion payment for the second half of a deal with Iran in just the past few weeks.

Who owns the Libyan national oil company now? Does anyone know? It seems Turkey and the EU are ISIS's best customers, which leaves us bewildered because these are our allies. Does something stink here? We arm them against the Syrian government and we then bomb them while they sell stolen oil to our allies. I don unnerstan

There is no way in Hell the ISholes are dumping oil on the market to the point it affects market prices and contracted oil from Iran sold to China, India, Russia, Kenya etc don't impact markets.

What happened to the guy last year that was predicting $150 or higher oil? Hope he didn't bet on his own BS. Or maybe I do. Serve him right.

US has increased it's domestic production of oil from 5 million barrels a day to 9 million barrels a day since '08 because of BHO, all praise be unto him.

Since the USA Fleet has been failing in Iraq since 2003 I'm going to have to say , no; they can't and won't destroy them in one day........

Strategically speaking, the early part of the United States like a chess player, in addition to holding their own strength to threaten the opponent, it seems not there are better ways, American foreign policy is more stress, headache medicine head, feet hurt the disease. US policy
Currently only see, can not see the long-term.
