The militants smuggle oil into southern Turkey, for example, and sell it to people who desperately need it just to carry on some semblance of everyday life.
I thought we were supposed to be finding them jobs
Hey Obama, Harf and assorted idiots, The terrorists say why have a job when you can just take whatever you want and then kill anyone who gets in your way.
ISIS makes their money the old-fashioned way.
They steal it.
And oil prices started dropping right after this began. Coincidence?
Just how hard can it be to take over control of the oil refineries from ISIS?
Eliminate the major source of funds and kill them all. A concerted effort should be able to get the job done in 1-2 years.
Other reports from last year said that a lot of their
oil money came from a mafia-like protection racket.

I remember KLA Klinton bombing refineries to smothering in Serbia which resulted in success. Why are we not doing the same on ISIS?
Once Obama gives them all jobs, ISIS will find the remittances very lucrative
If our fearless leader had wanted to put IS out of business, he would have already done it.
Title makes me think about how our Wizard of Washington (AKA Obama) "makes" money.
Run the Feds' currency printing presses overtime, give dollars to friends (especially contractors), and (I'm guessing) use tons of dollars to short gold and silver stocks ... sending physical gold and silver prices down to make the dollar look like it's worth something.
