From the files of the truly messed up, Syria and the Kurds are buying ISIS oil. Given they are enemies of ISIS, and ISIS wants to kill them, this is interesting.

However, my question is why it is so hard to cripple ISIS oil. Oil Fields are easily marked, can't they just bomb them? Or do they want to keep things intact so the fields can get up and running once ISIS is extinguished?

Lots of really wierd things happening here. As always, I am sure this is not the whole story. However, I just don't see why it is so hard to stop their oil production with the air power in play.
