ShinyDiscoBall 2 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Hurray! It was about time we had a new one. Was getting to be a bit long since the last one. Britain has embarked on a renewed war in the Middle East, starting with air strikes in the next 48 hours, after MPs overwhelmingly sanctioned a UK air assault against Islamic State targets in Iraq. Cabinet ministers also told the Commons that Isis will ultimately only be crushed if the terrorist group is pursued to its bases inside Syria, signalling an eventual widening of the conflict that is expected to last several years. Downing Street said six Tornado jets would be in the skies over Iraq very shortly, adding the Commons has sanctioned the sending of UK military advisers to Iraq to train the country’s army and act as target setters for the RAF.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 The rebels we trained, financed and armed to fight Assad (who we also used to train and arm) in Syria but who have now turned round and started fighting in Iraq as well, trying to oust the government that we helped to put in there when Saddam finally was overthrown Link to post Share on other sites

Thundercat 60 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Why aren't we just training someone else to go after these guys? Maybe we could give someone a bunch of weapons to deal with the problem for us. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 The Iraqis held a series of demonstrations saying they were against Western intervention as they could handle Isis themselves......so we can look forward to more fighting after this bout of fighting is done Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 fwiw, Edward Snowden himself was a big libertarian at the time he made the revelations. He was a right winger, not some "pinko liberal" or whatever label Fox News etc. would like to pin on him. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Libertarian is not equivalent to right-winger. When I was growing up, leftists were more likely to be libertarians (keep the government's hands off my body) than the rightists, who were always trying to control everyone's private lives. Technically, though, the libertarian/statist axis is considered to be orthogonal to the left/right (liberal/conservative) one. Link to post Share on other sites
