Questioning ISIS in IRAQ

One American's Opinions and Questions on ISIS

Let me propose a few questions about ISIS in Iraq.

Who is continuing to purchase oil at $50.00 a barrel from ISIS?

Why did America see a huge drop in gas prices shortly after ISIS conquered oil storage placements in Iraq?
Why is America not doing everything they can to deal a deadly blow against ISIS?

I'm at a loss with how everything seems to be playing out with ISIS and America. Why are we just standing still and watching?

I am starting to feel that what we are being told in the news isn't everything that we should be told. (Yes I'm aware that statement is rather redundant, but...) Although the news agencies that are covering the beheadings try to assimilate the facts about ISIS, they seem to be dodging simple questionable material coming from Iraq.

ISIS is currently making 1 to 1.5 million or more dollars a day from oil sales and consumer needs like localized electricity. But who exactly is purchasing this oil?

ISIS is recruiting Americans, Britians and other Europeans into joining them. How is that Possible? Who would dream of the idea of joining a group that beheads innocent people? Is there underlying reasons, agendas or principles that appeal to those people who are looking to ISIS and joining them? Perhaps even payment for fighting?

I'm guessing that there is more to it than just ISIS or Isil's image that draws people into their ranks. Is it just a promise of an Islamic Republic?

Oil and blood mix well.

Why did the price of gasoline plummet since the ISIS threat was released on America? This question is not being asked, why? When gas prices fall just a little we as Americans look for a reason, but when they drop almost a dollar we are unable to know the reason. Why?

Is America part of the ISIS problem, by being part of the financial flow that's empowering ISIS?

That's the main question that I'm asking. Are we part of the purchasing power behind the oil sales done by ISIS? After all, our gas prices fell, and I can assume that if isis is selling barrels of oil at $50.00 less than the normal sale price of $100.00, we would see a lower gas price. That said, then are we contributing to the problem?

What is your opinion?

Mine?

I'm concerned about the issues behind both Iraq, Syria, and African nations where the ISIS and other terrorist threats seem to be reaching large numbers. If this group doesn't have an agenda, then what exactly do they represent? Are they just a terrorist group? Or much more? Politically influenced perhaps, or militarized by an outside source? My thoughts are maybe that they are offering a new source of low priced oil to American companies who were earlier buying oil from the iraqi government but now are purchasing the oil from isis.

Are we as Americans willing to turn a blind eye to the deaths of thousands of people by ISIS for just a few extra drops of gasoline on the dollar? Do the powers of the United States and other governments really think we are blind or ignorant to the lackluster factuality or questioning of our media outlets, compared to what we are learning from outside media sources?

Information from outside of the mainstream media in America is a wee bit more about the oil buyers, while our mainstream media seems to be focused on the President and what he is planning to do with isis. We're not blind, but maybe passively looking the other way, perhaps?

President Obama has been slightly teasing with the idea of using airstrikes in Syria against ISIS, but we are also trying to help defeat the Syrian Government by supplying the fighters there, but aren't those fighters the same fighters fighting under the isis flag? They flowed into Iraq from Syria, correct? So we are rooting for a win against the Syrian Government with ISIS, but fully intending to defeat ISIS in Iraq, correct?

What a tangled web we weave, when at first we deceive.

The submissive foray of being light on tactical moves against ISIS, and then we don't touch oil rich areas they control seems to shine a little light on the acknowledgement of what our real domestic needs are. Oil.

A battle plan of 150+ bombs on light targets, but no asserted heavy actual targets in strongholds they control seems to be a dangerous problem. We keep spanking the monkey but letting the ape rule, why?

Because if you are getting a good deal on oil, why shit on the seller? We are basically keeping face, saying we want to remove the cancer, but keep the blood flowing. (if you get my drift)

Why are we not fingerings the buyers of ISIS oil? That's the million dollar question. Could it be simply because the buyer of ISIL oil is at the same time the very government or powers that claim to want to destroy the isis/isil?

Oil, the stuttering piece of the puzzle, that for some reason seems to be the main ingredient behind everything in the middle east, but yet the missing subject that screams to be discussed, yet ignored.
