“I got Bin Laden and Al Qaeda is on the run!” Oh wait, it isn’t 2012, is it? “I got ISIL and the terrorists are making less money!” You have to believe me....really....I ALWAYS tell the truth (and the sheeple believe!).

What an absolutely moronic thing too say! What’s worse is not ever being held to account for being such a treasonous moron by our media.

As we bomb its oil infrastructure, ISIL’s been forced to slash the salaries of its fighters.

For over a year we didn't bomb oil infrastructure because of concern for innocent oil truck drivers, and causing negative environmental damage.
The Russians started bombing the oil infrastructure immediately, and we were embarrassed into doing the same thing.

As far as the salaries are concerned, Jihadists are interested in an eternal reward from Allah. - Tom

Obama’s policies are the only reason ISIS was able to pay people in the first place.

The Levant is a larger area and part of the last Islamic state. Syria not so much

http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/12/why_does_obama_call_isis_isil.html

“ISIS stands for the “Islamic State in Iraq and Syria,” a terror group controlling a large swath of both Iraq and Syria in which the terrorists claim to have established a “caliphate,” a state in which Islamic sharia law is imposed upon all living in the area, anyone who fails to adhere to strict Muslim guidelines has his head removed. Obama’s contrary assertions aside, ISIS is by no means contained. In fact, the savage group (which prefers to be called the “Islamic State” or “IS”) has metastasized on maps like immense pools of blood covering the ancient borders that once divided parts of Syria and Iraq.

ISIL, Obama’s preference, stands for the “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.” According to glaphyridae.com, “[t]he Levant in its geographical sense comprises the following political entities: the west part of Syria, Lebanon, west part of Jordan, Palestine (West Bank and Gaza Strip), Israel and Sinai (Egypt).” Other sources claim that it also encompasses parts of Turkey. All of these states embrace Islam, with one very notable exception: Israel, our only “blood brother” ally in the region that all Islamic terrorists want gone, violently and forever.

That Obama uses ISIL in discussing the terrorists is extremely telling and chilling. To those of us who keep our fingers on the pulse of Middle Eastern geopolitics, the distinctions separating ISIS and ISIL are by no means meager. It’s readily apparent that Obama considers both Israel and its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, thorns in each of his sides. Since 2009, his atrociously dismissive treatment of Netanyahu has been highly embarrassing, shocking, and outrageous, especially to those of us who cherish our relationship with the Jewish state.

Israel has proven itself a tried and true friend since its return to its ancient homeland in 1948. Despite some disagreements between the U.S. and the Jewish state, no previous president has shown such a hideous and blatant disregard for Israel’s head of state as has Obama. Nor has any previous president ever considered (to our knowledge) or suggested in a way bordering on insistence that Israel relinquish the land it now controls by contracting to its pre-1967 borders. Obama wants just that. Why? For Israel, a return to those boundaries would be suicidal, shrinking the country to a width of a very svelte nine miles and making it essentially indefensible.

I like Putin’s strategy better. It has provided a permanent end to far more terrorists, and it is also the strategy that forced a pay cut for the survivors.
