From your link.
“[CBS News reporter David] Martin says 12 small-scale oil refineries were hit in the eastern desert of Syria,” a CBS report revealed. “According to the Pentagon, the refineries produced between 300 and 500 barrels of petroleum a day, which ISIS used to power its own vehicles and to sell on the black market, bringing in up to $2 million every day in revenue.”
I wish reporters would not consider reporting numbers without doing the most basic math.
$2 million a day.
12 refineries at 300~500 BPD.
Do they think this Black Market Petroleum Products sell for $500 a barrel?
“Evironment” is just a cover for the real goal of Obama and the Saudis.
This was done actually to protect the oil wells that the Saudis want in order to keep their grip on all Mideast Oil with the willing help of Obama.
“Officials said the strikes wouldn’t target fixed oil fields, a precaution intended to minimize the potential for environmental damage,” The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. “The U.S. instead targeted small capacity mobile refineries used by Islamic State around northeastern Raqqa province and other locations in eastern Syria, officials said.”
