Crappy 70's Toyota pickups don't grow on trees -assuming they had any trees where they live.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region—Due to "exceptional circumstances" the Islamic State (ISIS) has cut the salaries of its forces in half, a document from the terror groups Treasury Ministry (Bayt al-Mal), released in December, reveals.
The document does not elaborate what it means by "exceptional circumstances" but wagers a guess that the intensified air strikes leveled against the group are beginning to take their toll. Especially since the American-led coalition and the Russians began bombing targets connected to that group’s oil smuggling operation and other economic targets.
The coalition has since afflicted an even graver toll on the group's financial operation when it bombed the headquarters of Bayt al-Mal in Mosul incinerating millions of dollars in cash that ISIS had gained through oil smuggles and illegal trade.
The ISIS governor in Mosul has issued a fatwa which allows members of the group to get further money by taxing the locals who are also likely in fairly dire straits after living under the yoke of the group since June 2014.
In other news, Bernie Sanders calls for a subsidized $15.00 per hour minimum wage for disadvantaged jihadi fighters.
I think they blew up an Isis bank last week.
Russia bombs the oil because they have put their money on the Shia bracket to win the first round of WWIII.
I am assuming you forgot to put an S after the / -tom
Also, mouthwash has alcohol in it -which sucks for the rest of us.

Well yeah, we just blew your bank up.
Thanks to Vlad. He has contributed immensely to the demise of the ISIS pay scale.
Downsizing.
I didn’t know they got paid. I thought they were doing their deeds out of worship of Allah and Mohammed.
I think so too, but I’m not convinced he has attacked ISIS as hard as he has in country insurgents.
Now that being said, has ISIS infiltrated that insurgency too? That’s not out of the question IMO.
My concerns with Vlad address Israel and how he arms it’s enemies, and what his long term goals really are.
Word is out Israel and Russia are in talks. About what I don’t know but I would suspect it was about petroleum marketing, maybe drilling.
Less two goats and a camel
Toyotas aren’t crappy. There’s a reason that’s the 4x4 of choice where dealers DON’T grow in trees. Also those are spanking new top of the line.
Famously, that convoy was supplied by the US State dept as non lethal aid to AL Nusra front, who promptly gave them to ISIS.
we blew up all their money....pay ‘em with what ?
