Who is buying the oil from which ISIS is profiting? I heard reports that the bombing is initially being targeted at the oil installations to prevent ISIS from amassing more money with which to equip themselves - but nothing is being said about which countries are actually buying the oil.
There are so many contradictions in what is happening. Saudi Arabia has funded ISIS and yet it is still our ally. As somebody commented on Newsnight tonight, we are arming and supporting several groups who we in the recent past designated to be terrorists. The whole thing is a complete mess.
I honestly can't see the purpose of these bombings - it will just bring further death, destruction, hatred and retribution. Our forays into Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc., etc., have only made a bad situation worse.
Also why does the name of this group of terrorists keep changing? First it was ISIS, then it was IS, now it's ISOL - why?
