All bullshit and baloney. The middle east is all about home grown dictators and idiots from outside interfering. Assad being the only relatively sane one. Trump and May? All they do is hold hands and then wet themselves when their piddly little fireworks land. Putin is an absolute fruitcake.
Notice that it's the ordinary troops and not the leaders that are at risk? Easy solution, put Putin and Trump in the ring and let them fight it out. Pay per view. The winner has to sleep with Angela Merkel. The loser has to sleep with Ms May and Ms Sturgeon. Sell the resulting video to Isis as propaganda telling them that all their virgins will look like that when they reach the promised land, "Quick boys, get your blow up vest ready!! No Mohammed you son of camel with dung for brains, that is a bloody lifejacket!!"
Just out of interest what are the "oil rich" Arabs doing to help? As usual, absolutely sod all, just stirring up trouble by being sneaky, underhand and devious which has always been their way.
Those fireworks would have better directed to UAE.

Sadly such strikes only bring death in one form or another, either way such death is a sad state of affairs.

There were no deaths and 3 bystanders wounded.
We have a pm with bottle, unlike Corbyn who would have printed a pamphlet and held a rally. Obama's Red Lines were peed on.

Either we are in Nato or we aren't . We are.

I thought NATO was formed to protect its members in the Northern Alliance, What has that got to do with the cesspit in the middle east? We got involved in Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan and achieved nothing except further destabilization and the rise of Isis in the West. Great result!
Although I feel sorry for the innocents in these countries I think we should step away and let them get on with it. How would we have felt if another military force had intervened between us and Ireland at the height of the troubles?

I recommend viewing the prime minister's statement debate earlier today and the emergency Syria debate tonight in parliament on iplayer. The windup by the opposition leader and prime minister in the last 15 minutes will give a qualified view of both sides. The vast majority supported the action even if some didnt support the decision being taken by the executive and not parliament.
