US admits White House helped ISIS smuggle, sell oil via Turkey. BUT just a bit

[tinydancer]

You can't make shit up like this. The amounts were according to a US special envoy just a smidge. Just a little.Nothing significant. OMG! When we practice to deceive what a tangled web we weave.

And what a web in Syria has the west woven that is now affecting the globe.

Aye Carumba! And for anyone who has been following the terrorists attacks on Syria errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr civil war, we know Turkey has made out like a bandit on the buying and selling of ISIS oil.

Just a bit? Kiss my ass. The west is BUSTED!

" AFP reports, U.S. special envoy and coordinator for international energy affairs, Amos Hochstein, on Friday said the amount of oil smuggled into Turkey from areas of Syria controlled by the Islamic State group is “of no significance from a volume perspective — both volume of oil and volume of revenue”.

That doesn’t sound like a statement to me that smuggling is not happening. It sounds like an excuse. However, turning a blind eye to ISIS smuggling oil into Turkey is peanuts compared to allowing the Islamic State to produce and distribute oil over the last fourteen months, earning millions of dollars a month in the process.

The White House says it did not start targeting ISIS oil infrastructure until recently due to environmental and collateral damage concerns.

The real reason American forces were finally ordered to start destroying fuel trucks was the fact that Russia embarrassed them into doing so.

Frankly, the whole White House narrative is incomprehensible. Therefore the American government is complicit in whatever consequences accrue from ISIS being able to grow, expand, and extend its reach across the world, threatening our way of life.

The lack of American air pressure on the ISIS oil transportation and production network was the equivalent of a no-fly zone for the ISIS money machine.

The European Parliament just issued a report that ISIS has now brought materials and expertise into Europe to build and deploy weapons of mass destruction.

An attack of this type would be devastating for the West and our way of life. Now that would be some real collateral damage. Not bad for the junior varsity.

UPDATE: so far I've only found the Pontiac Tribune and Washington Times. And it's the same though. Just a little bit has been smuggled. YIKES!

Over the weekend, Amos Hochstein, a member of the US State Department, confirmed ISIS oil is being smuggled out of Iraq and Syria through Turkey to be sold illegally.

The Obama Administration is the natural parent of ISIS.

Naturally it has to help Turkey too...Turkey being US poodle... like all NATO countries are.

Shame on all of them. Shame!

Putin - Turkey buys ISIS oil
Turkey - Liar lair, pants on fire
USA - OK, we admit it.

The US wants Russia out of Syria because:

They attack US armed and trained terrorists (Or freedom fighters, if you think the Taliban were also freedom fighters when they were armed and trained by the US)

Russia is exposing the ISIS/Turkey/US oil trade.

Russia supports Assad, and the Israeli states wants to get rid of him.

Specifically to the OP. Turkey gets cheap oil and no one much knows because the press and various governments coved it up.
Now Russia has exposed it, the US is forced to act, and that doesn't suit US interests.

Agree with most of what you said with the exception of the Taliban.

Truly they were the creation of Pakistan and Benazir Bhutto. The plot thickens though because surely US Intelligence must have been aware of what was occurring in Afghanistan.

From the timeline and the article. Environmental reasons.

Not that they were letting ISIS oil go to their NATO buddy Erdogan. Nooooooooooo.

The Russian propaganda story and anti-American talking points and attacks are not the only stories to the complicated mess of dealings between the many tribes, groups and even countries involved in smuggling in a region with at least a thousand years of smuggling.

Your US Envoy disagrees with you. That's from the OP where he claims it's just a teeny tiny bit.

Busted. Everyone knows the bullshit Erdogan has been pulling. Including NATO turning a freaking blind eye to the crap that's been going on.

And for fun.....

JP: Well now, is the concern that people going through Turkey to fight in Syria, or is the concern people coming out of Syria and going through Turkey?



DH: Well its both, and then there’s the oil problem. They are in fact selling oil through the Turks but the million, million and a half dollars per day that they’re making is not what’s sustaining ISIS. The issue that we have, and rightfully so, is this is Turkey. This is a NATO ally… So why are they permitting this to happen?
