How has ISIS become one of the richest ever militant groups?

A famous president once stated, "If you quit drugs, you join the fight against terror in America."
ISIS gets its money from... oil. For ISIS' oil sales, sources told CNN, the group probably makes between $1 million and $2 million per day, but probably on the lower end.
If you quit oil, America, you can join the fight against terror.

Why isn't Obama stopping all the oil? WE NEED A WAR ON OIL.
O.il A.buse. R.esistance. E.ducation? Perhaps?

I wonder, if the mascot for DARE ^^^ is a hip looking lion, what the one for "fighting oil" would look like. Maybe a braying jackass. "HEE HAW! Terrurism!!! HEE HAW!!!

BTW, Our tax dollars paid for that lion drawing. /sigh. Should show a tiger chomping on a heroin addict with the caption, "Too stoned to run away."

If you plan to quit oil, be prepared to essentially not purchase any products other than food, firewood and dirt.

I guess someone failed to account for the vast quantities of petroleum we produce here.

Or buy from non-terrorists in canada.
