Al-Khateeb says the oil is finding its way to the black market and could be making ISIS up to $3 million each day.

Which shows us the DC Politcal/Business/Media machine is not serious about ending ISIS. How is that being allowed to go on unhindered?

To my knowledge there have been no sanctions pressed for ISIS by our Congress, the President or the UN. From the beginning we heard ISIS had taken over the Iraqi oil fields and was reaping Millions of dollars to buy weapons and promote terror. But not a damn move to stem that tide?!

We’ve filed sanctions on Russia, Iran (now defunct), possibly Israel, and others, but ISIS need not deal on a “black market” because they are unrestricted and free to deal on the open market (apparently). Al-Q is covered under use of force resolution from Congress against “terrorism” but I do not believe ISIS is covered - it has not been updated.

As I said earlier, I simply can’t figure it out (and it is my job to figure things out).

Exactly John no one ever asked those questions how is Isis allowed to freely sell oil on the black market at a reduced price and their refineries there distilleries everything not bombed out of oblivion?
