Maybe he said it was all about ‘environmental damage’ but one can’t help feeling that Obama doesn’t really want to attack ISIS aggressively.
This revelation might make for some interesting breakout sessions at the Parisian Summit.
If the Tea Party owned oil wells Obama wouldn’t worry about environmental damage.
Mike Morrell authored the “YouTube video did it!”-talking points. He is a clean, polite criminal who, having retired from the CIA, now works at a very Clinton-affiliated think-tank, Beacon Global Strategies.
1. He could be trying smear Obama as a favor to Hillary, who is more or less his BOSS.
2. He could be obsfuscating about his time at CIA, trying to save them blame by putting it onto Obama.
2. Could be telling the truth, since the truth about the Obama Admin is often weird.
WHICH ONE?
I don’t know.
No, the only “damage” feared was to the pocket-books of his friend Erdogan in Turkey, who is helping ISIS smuggle the stolen oil.
“Environmental damage”. I believe it. The party, the Democrat party is heavily indebted to their environmentalist membership. They can’t do anything without approval of that sector of the party membership.
Lots of money comes to the party from the environmentalists.
Bullcrap.
Obamacare, Clinton, Kerry and Iran, economy, National Debt, Racial tensions that he has caused, mistrust of the administration and its members, the fuel bill for Air Force !, Moochelle’s trips, the corrupt Justice Department, the video that caused Benghazi, his records that he sealed, the death of his mother in law, ad nauseum.

There is no good reason to snuff the wells.
All these pricks come out talking AFTER they’ve retired. They all should have came out while working for Obama and resigned in protest.
So the life of a, let’s say desert tortoise, was more important than the head of a Christian?
DISMANTLE C.I.A. Put this TREASONOUS POS in prison. Why? (I’ll let zero hedge poster TimmyB explain)
Right. Talking about why our government didn’t destroy oil fields, when the entire world is really asking why it didn’t destroy any of the oil trucks transporting the oil, is a red herring. And if our government actually gave two fucks about the environment in Syria, it could easily have bombed the empty oil trucks returning from Turkey to Syria to be refilled. Obviously, we didn’t want to defund ISIS.
How about someone in our government actually speaking the truth for once? Anyone with a couple dozen functioning brain cells already knows what’s really going on. U.S. policy has been to use Islamic terror groups to fight against Assad’s Syrian government. So we allow them to be armed and funded so they can fight Assad and his forces. This makes our supposed war against ISIS a complete charade.
Okay, I can sort of buy that. Might want to avoid creating burning gushers of black oil smoke that are visible from space like when the Iraqis blew up the wells back in the day.
But you don’t have blow up the wells to shut down ISIS’s oil business. You just have to destroy the trucks, which is easy and clean.
It is truly bizarre that we didn’t take out the trucks years ago. Maybe one of these years someone in the media will ask the question of why that is.

destroying oil wells makes no sense whatsoever.....you merely destroy anyone and anything attempting to transport the oil from the well.....people, pipelines, trucks....whatever.
obama = isis
Wait a minute. Wouldn’t interrupting the supply of hydrocarbons in any manner limit the supply of hydrocarbons on the market to produce dangerous greenhouse gases? It seems to me damaging wells or the production process and taking them out of production would be more beneficial to the environmental cause. I am certain there are things that could be done to take the wells off line without blowing them up and burning off the contents. Even if the contents burn off, is that much more polluting than drilling, hauling it to a facility for further transportation to a refinery that would distill it into a product to be hauled to a sale point to then be burned? I do not know. The real problem is that interrupting the supply would diminish ISIS’s funds and that we must seemingly fight a conflict without upsetting the bad guys.
