And you know what We don t blockade. We don t bomb. We don t do anything about it. It s almost as if our country doesn t even know what s happening, which could be a fact and could be true. THE HYPERBOLE: The prospect of ISIS controlling and profiting from Libyan oil is a concern, not today s reality. While ISIS affiliates in Libya have taken swaths of territory and attacked petroleum facilities, they have not yet been able to export oil in any significant quantity.

On Wednesday, Martin Kobler, the U.N. envoy to Libya, said in Cairo that he is concerned by recent ISIS incursions into Libya s oil region, calling them a grave assault on the economy. To date there is no evidence that the militants are operating oilfields they have attacked. ---TRUMP: The Obama administratio stanley cup n helped bring the Muslim Br stanley cup quencher otherhood to power Qakr Pelosi To Bush: Take A Deep Breath Before Vetoing Iraq Bill
