Contrary to many American’s perception, Syria has oil and natural gas fields. Before Barack Obama decided the Dictator Assad had to go, despite winning a three way election with 10 million votes, Syria was making deals to increase oil production, which surely the Saudis did not like.
Syria has oil production of 33,000 barrels a day, placing it as #35 on the list of Oil produced per capita.

Turkey is #87.
Russia blew up the oil tankers that the US refused to attack because they are taking oil from the ISIS controlled oil fields inside Syria into Turkey.
Understand now why the Russian plane near the border was shot down?
Who do you think armed ISIS from Benghazi?

Fortunately, every tragedy has an embedded black comedy:

The US created ISIS and was funneling arms through Libya? Shocking, I tell you!
Every day I get one step closer to being a 9/11 Truther.
Hillary is the Presidential candidate who doesn’t want to declare war on ISIS. Do you think she knows something? I bet she has emails!
All these ISIS beheading videos (none of which I’ve seen) strike me as US propaganda to incite war lust and/or create fear. The lemmings rushing to war scare me. Some local show I was testing had a caller willing to kill 40 or 50 million civilians. The people who want to kill all Muslims don’t seem to recognize that Turkey is Muslim, in NATO and strategic in many different ways. Not to mention the Muslims in Indonesia, Pakistan, India, etc… Don’t start a war you aren’t prepared to lose. Libya, Egypt, Iraq and Syria were heavily suppressing Islam under Soviet influence. someone clearly wants the Ottoman empire to come back.
Evidently not shocking to the Iraqis. A current headline on the Drudge Report is tomorrow’s (Dec 2, 2015) news on Washington Post: “WASH POST LEAD WEDS: Iraqis believe USA in cahoots with ISIS…” Here is the article it points to:

Former U.S. Treasury official, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts said “We brought ISIS in there (to Syria) — everybody knows that. Just the other day the former head the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency said on television that ‘Yes, we created ISIS and we used them as henchmen to overthrow governments.’ ”

So much shocking news, I feel like I’ve been tasered
Even if we didn’t directly create ISIS, we certainly gifted them large quantities of abandoned equipment.
