Making sense: Islamic State crisis: US hits IS oil targets in Syria September 26, 2014 7:56 am bowser

It all falls into place. IS has oil which is not controlled by the major oil companies. IS must be destroyed.

Y’know, Khadaffi of Libya had to be overthrown when he attempted to nationalize his countries oil. Chavez in Venezuela the same thing.

And not the drums beat for war again in the Middle East. Oil.

A profound, unmentioned switch here. by bowser 2014-10-08 19:28:52
