Oil sales have been a particular concern. “As of last month, ISIL was selling oil at substantially discounted prices to a variety of middlemen, including some from Turkey, who then transported the oil to be resold,” Cohen said. “It also appears that some of the oil emanating from territory where ISIL operates has been sold to Kurds in Iraq and resold into Turkey.”

The Assad government in Syria, he said, has also “made an arrangement to purchase oil from ISIL.”

Islamic State was making $1 million a day from oil sales before airstrikes began

Somehow we have to stop their income!

I doubt that.Doesn't seem the airstrikes are having much affect at all in even slowing ISIS down!

What Kurds?

The Turks are mostly Sunni.

Why don't learn and get a clue?

I have a lot of things to say about your view of the world but they would be deleted.
