#1 This totally doesn't play into the narrative of seizing oil for profit at all. Sigh.

#2 Narratives are blinders that keep suckers stupid, Herb. Smart people look at the real situation, the one where we are holding the oil fields to give to the Syrian Kurds so they have an income that will allow them to cover the costs of continuing to fight against ISIS instead of surrendering to Turkey, and won’t need to depend on us.

After all, we have as much oil as we are willing to pump out of the ground, and even more natural gas and coal. We don’t have any need for the stuff on the far side of the world in Syria.

#3 The laborers (the Kurds) are worthy of their wage.
Hopefully, this new place will be better than the border area where they were kicked out of by Turkey.
I hope the Kurds will be a constant thorn in the side of Turkey.
