Gee, the convoys of tankers going from ISIS held territory to turk run dropoff isn’t good enough?

Well, they may never prove that "Turkey" (as in Government of) is buying the oil, but ISIS oil is getting out somewhere and there is nearly 100 kilometers (60 miles) of the border between Syria and Turkey that is very weak. And, the problem is not just the transport of oil. It also allows for the travel of ISIS screwballs back and forth between Europe.

There will be an effort to tighten things up, but as our border experience in the US shows, there will continue to be some level of leaks/smuggling that can never be completely eradicated. That is why it will be important also to attack the oil production facilities in ISIS controlled areas until those areas can be retaken.
