ISIS as a proxy army of Turkey?

Submitted by steven (United States), Aug 29, 2014 at 08:02

As a casual observer of the emergence of ISIS, it appears that Turkey has been a primary beneficiary with the incursion against Assad as well as the Kurds. I continue to hear from the MSM about ISIS funding itself through the sale of oil from fields seized in Syria and Iraq. I never hear to whom ISIS is selling this oil to. I would appreciate enlightenment on these matters.
