Guess Why The U.S. Is Not (Seriously) Bombing ISIS's Oil Business

Click here to access article by Bernhard from Moon of Alabama
The U.S. did not start bombing the Islamic State's oil infrastructure and oil distribution system until the Russian president Putin shamed U.S. President Obama at the G20. Putin showed around satellite pictures of huge oil truck assemblies waiting in the desert to be filled. These were through 13 month of bombing left completely unmolested by U.S. air strikes. The U.S. then bombed a bit and claimed to have destroyed 116 waiting oil trucks while the Russians claimed to have destroyed over 1,000.

So far I have found four reasons given to explain why the U.S. did not bomb, and does not seriously bomb,  the oil truck convoys.
