Yeup, learned that lesson long ago.

Heck why don't the Chinese do it, I think they will one day.

My guess is both the US and GB both have hunter/killer units in play in Iraq and possibly even Syria, we know they are sending more forward observers, been droned today, nope, let us help you out. Heads of ISIS leaders will start falling one by one and then the mop up will be done by the Kurds, Iraqis and Syrians. So long as the job gets done and the message is once again reaffirmed that to go down their path is a majorly bad health choice I am good with that.

My, what a reasoned and well thought out comment. You are indeed a credit to the schools of intelligent and enlightened thought....

We were told we'd be 'greeted as liberators' too.

Do you believe everything we're told?

Yup. Even if anybody ever did the recent 20 years are a good reason to stop.

Opinion only here from a non-involved party:

British Prime Minister has the will but not the power; American President has the power but not the will.

Britsh and American foreign policies together have made an unmitigated cluster-fuggg mess of the middle east. The wheels have fallen off that stupid ox cart so many times and each and every time someone just puts the wheel back on using another plastic cotter-pin to secure it et-voila ~ "war on terror won" we can all withdraw and leave this chit hole in the hands of the retards that couldn't protect themselves yesterday, last week, last month, last year, last decade.

Idiot Obama is patently incapable of making a tough decision when faced with one of his own. He has demonstrated he can stack-on to a decision made by either a past president or another foreign leader but "no strategy yet" when dealing with a terrorist org you've been briefed on fully a year in advance? C'MON.

Cameron on the other hand is attempting to pattern himself after a Margaret Thatcher and he doesn't have either the intellect or the stones to pull it off. Sending SAS into that zone has been advised against in no uncertain terms because it would devolve into a run-for-your-life in the desert without the ability to secure an extraction zone even were the SAS able to be given accurate intel as to where the hostage is actually being kept EACH DAY. An attempt there would make "Blackhawk Down" look like a stroll through Oz by comparison.

In short; just as in the Ukraine, with foreign policy dictated by financial prerogatives, vis-à-vis oil and natural gas, Britain and the U.S. together have created a freaking monster and now look to NATO and other member countries to throw money into the equation to assist resolving an absolute mess of THEIR making. Germany, France and Italy are caught between the proverbial rock and hard place in that they get to watch the two visiting retards playing with matches in their kitchen ultimately set fire to their house and have to risk all to put out the damn fire.

Cameron and Biden together shouting "we will get you" haven't got the brain cells to challenge an autistic 4 year old to an intelligent debate. Watching this boil up to conflagration is going to be messy with Putin having nothing to lose at this point.

Oh and by the by Al-Queda just announced they've got a major foothold in India now. "The War on Terror is Won" says Bushy. Buncha freak'n morons running the greatest super powers on the planet are going to be satisfied with nothing less than a full on conflagration through the kind of management you'd be ashamed of from the heads of Toys Are Us.

Gasp, sputter, spit. Why are you telling me the Obama Administration would intentionally LIE to the American people?
