or east Syria. The Syrians must have a nationalized oil field business.

Seems like we have ISIS at training camp in towns along a river, with the Sunnis going home to their neighborhoods. Then they gather at the camp to go out to dig in for black gold. And America must provide cover to American drilling facilities in the new Caliph locations in north Iraq.

All could have been avoided if Iraqis or the Kurds gave NO oil contracts to America Oil Companies.

Hopefully, Syria will NOT give American Companies oil contracts as they need every bit of the money from their oil to remain in Syria.

This is all my opinion as I believe that just recently American oil contracts were restarted in Iraq. And the War Hawks are now silent. The Kurdish oil from the Exon-Mobil tanker is sitting off the coast of Texas now.
