ISIS funded by US Federal Reserve as $13 billion goes unaccounted for in Iraq
He is said to have confessed that he was receiving around $600 (£395) for every recruit he sent to Syria, and was working with the support of an imam.
"The US has been condemning the IS activities but unfortunately has not been able to stop funding of these organisations, which is being routed through the US," a source told the paper.
"The US had to dispel the impression that it is financing the group for its own interests and that is why it launched an offensive against the organisation in Iraq but not in Syria," he added.
Last year, financial crimes expert Christine Duhaime told CBC that money was transferred through banks in the West to "conduit countries", including Lebanon and Jordan, where it was delivered to IS.
"They use our banks as the primary source of getting the funds overseas," she said.
Experts believe that IS receives much of its funding from donations from wealthy backers in the Middle East, and is channelled through the international banking system.
In the past Putin has claimed to have some information regarding government role in the events of 11 September. I wonder if he is bluffing, but I doubt he is.
Why does this not suprise me! Billions given to the terrorists! This is just aweful supporting terrorism!
Where is the military on this? I am guessing most are against it!

He has nothing or he would have already trotted it out.
He also claims he wasn't sending troops to Ukraine. He would never lie.
Claims that the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 were orchestrated by US intelligence agencies are “complete nonsense,” President Vladimir Putin told attendees of a youth forum.
“This is complete nonsense, it is impossible,” Putin said on Monday, responding to a question posed by an attendee of the Seliger 2011 youth forum.
Putin has always claimed if he had information he would have released it.
Foreign central banks hold dollars and can call on the Fed for currency distribution. The new $100 notes are flown to Baghdad after leaving a Fed facility in East Rutherford, N.J. In Baghdad, the bills are moved to the Iraqi Central Bank, where they are sold in daily auctions in which Iraqi financial firms request dollars that they pay for largely using dinars, the country’s currency.”

Ah yes we give them money in the billions then drop billions of dollars of ordinance on their heads...sounds right.
You do understand what ISIS gets from the US is nothing they either steal it or they get it from errand airdrops that were intended for their enemies, but of course it's easier to believe what you want rather than understand the truth.
Where is the military on this? I am guessing most are against it!
Interestingly enough you don't have any proof the pic you used are actual military members, and the source for your pic comes from here...

My guess is they are from the military but no longer in the military...so they can say what they want.

This isn't funding anything these dollars are exchanged for Iraqi currency in their central bank. Problem is the Iraqi government is essentially run by Iran at this point. So Iran has us currency funneled to Isis by buying Iraqi oil. Is there a way to stop the use of US currency by Isis probably not but we shouldn't make it easy for them either. Once they have US currency they can buy weapons on the open market and I'm sure that's were most of the dollars go. International arms dealers aren't going to want Iraqi dinars they would want euros or US currency.

Bottom line is the Iraqi government was not ready to take over and US policy has set them up to fail.
