Interesting that the retreating forces didn’t put the wells to the torch. The oil will make the rebels stronger. I’ll wager Assad gave the order to burn the wells and the commander on the scene found a reason why he couldn’t.
That’s unexpected. Who would have guessed that Obama’s strategy would help America’s enemies - again?
Undocumented Tyrant's GunWalking AG (and hero of al Qaeda):
"Our ONLY enemy is the American people who are white."
I’ll give Syrians the vote:
1. Moderate Guy
2. Nuke Me
Obama just gave these "rebels" yet ANOTHER aid package, this one for $130,000,000.
Syrian "rebel" terrorists eat heart of a dead Syrian soldier
These demon possessed heart eaters and murderers are getting millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars.
Meanwhile........
Our own Pentagon announced this week that it confirmed it cannot even make payroll:
DOD furlough plan to affect 9 in 10 civilians
So we give millions to The Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and Al Qaeda, but we won't even give Dept of Defense nurses, maintainers, teachers, and engineers their own paychecks.
Remember the quaint days of Iran-Contra when Congress shut down the entire country for months to "get the bottom" of which rebel group received even a dime of aid?
Now, we are giving billions away to those who are our enemies, but we don't pay the Pentagon employees.
Could this country be any more broken?
Halliburton!
local entrepreneurs, who use home-made refineries to produce low-grade petrol and other fuels for Syrians facing acute shortages.
If Obama keeps on, it will come down to this.
What the hell, it’s the American way!
Wow! We could have a new show to add after “Backyard Oil”, namely, “Backyard Refinery”, though somehow I imagine that those whacky Arab redneck colloquialisms don’t translate to well into English.
Adam Smith's invisible hand at work....
Maybe someone in CA with a big tract of land could hire some of these guys....
....at least the Indian Tribes in North Dakota are building an oil refinery on their land.
Homemade refineries, eh? I wonder how they “crack” the crude..?
Our enemies know that time is on their side. They wait for democrats to gain control and start grabbing.
The long term strategy is for Russia to control Europe’s oil supply and their Iranian friends will control every oil field from Arabia to Morocco.
When AlQaida and the Muslim Brotherhood are no longer useful Russia will wipe them out through their Iranian proxy. The shia will put an end to the Hanbali/Wahhabi islam of Saudi Arabia and the Hanafi islam of Turkey will disappear under a Russian boot.
The “Golden Age” of islam was when shia ruled and they mean to restore that age.
The only obstacle to Iran’s ambition is the Saudi regime, but the US and European countries that support them are in decline - it is only a matter of time until they fall.
