#1 The article suggests that ISIS (terrorism) could be turning to the opium fields of Afghanistan as a potential funding source. Could there possibly be a proof of concept? And what of Chicago, Houston and LA? But I digress.

As the fledgling caliphate matures, it will likely move on to more advanced schemes of revenue creation such as; foreign aide programmes, weapons sales, and nuclear counter-proliferation, an ISIS NPR, Ernst & Young or RAND type studies. Did I mention weapons sales ?

#3 ISIS running short of other people's money

Ah. I think I see the problem. They don't have paper money and a Fed.

#4 I always thought a little wet work in Qatar and Soddy Arabia would put a stop to ISIS right quick.
