As Putin Bombs, Kerry Bribes

Foggy Bottom has just unveiled its latest misbegotten scheme:

The U.S. State Dept. has posted a $5 million reward to any American who can turn over “information that will disrupt the trade of oil and trafficking of antiquities that benefit the terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.” 

The press release on the notice from the State Dept.’s Rewards for Justice added:

Today’s announcement marks the first time the U.S. Secretary of State has authorized a Rewards for Justice offer for information that could be used to disrupt sale or trade in oil or antiquities by, or on behalf of, a terrorist organization.

That should work like a charm, wouldn't you say?

Update: Thanks, John Kerry (you pompous putz) for afflicting us with your "deconfliction" mishegas.
