It has learnt discretion is the better of valour
Doing their duty has not paid in the past, look at the casualties they took in our invasion of Iraq, the Gulf War, the war against Iran I am surprised anybody wants the job, unless they are conscripts The Sunnis are hardly going to fight the jihadists, The Shias don't like the odds, and they ain't going to be interested in defending Sunni areas are they....democracy is a farce, nobody believes in it, it was forced on them |

By:
These people will only fight for their own tribes or religion
they are no longer interested in defending a country created by us |

Invite Al and the Qaeda`s to a performance of La Triviatta performed by the Iraqi Army and offer them canape(non swine of course) spiked with cyanide. Job done. |

The army has been joined by Shia and Kurdish militias
and are started to hold up ISIS still hold a couple of key cities Obabama may give air support I would have thought maybe? but I think he is being cautious, he really does not want the US being dragged in too far here, in my opinion |

I see Blair still refuses to take any responsibility I see
still I think he lost contact with truth years ago, appalling man |

Marr gave him an easy ride. Waste of time.

Marr isnt fit for purpose these days

Amazingly Blair is still arguing for more intervention in the Middle East
that man should give it up....and retire from public view If Iraq drives out ISIS out without any intervention...that is good it shows that at least democracy in Iraq has some strength If they have to keep calling for the US Cavalry every 10 minutes, then they don't have much I cant think ISIS is going to do anybody any good, they are extreme even by extremist standards ![]() they need to be gone Blair is actually an extremist, a democracy extremists of all things, extremists of all persuasionsare bad in my opinion......moderates are always best, again of any persuasion |

It has not been confirmed that this happened for certain
but I think the message is there, ISIS are trying to incite civil war in Iraq with these atrocities If civil war does start then what is Obama going to do? These guys need to be defeated sooner than later...to stop it escalating to civil war I believe in getting my £2's worth on here ![]() Seriously people should question things and put forward their own ideas, otherwise we are left with having to believe any old lies or guff the government or media tell us. Frankly I do not trust them These forums are one of the few places ordinary people can express a voice, where else is there? We can write to newspapers...but they choose what they print. |

By:
I am aware of some of the appalling brutality and atrocities taking place in Syria
I see hints.. But there is a need for transparency here, if there is to be any hope of peace There can only be peace if one side wins, until then this is what happens efforts at a truce have failed...although it is desperately needed The quicker Assad wins in Syria the better, on humanitarian grounds, in my opinion you wont get our government saying that, will you???? |
|
By:
you dont have a clue whats going on in Syria do you ?
its not as simple as one side against another its a lot more complicated than that ,do some research please ffs not being rude but you dont half dribble on m8 . |

Two different lots of muslims killing each other.
Sounds like multiculturalism doesn't work that well ower there. But hey, the luvvies will welcome you all to the UK, so why don't you all come here to live. Starting with Blackpool, Blackburn, Bradford, east London, Wembley, Luton, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Bristol, Peterborough, etc, and just leave the nice countryside villages alone. Pardon? Oh, you already have!! Good show, carry on. |
|
By:
yes I do dribble on a bit
![]() but perhaps you may enlighten us with your views please breadnbutter? |
|
By:
I did look up a bit on Syria
I am aware the civil war came out of Arab Spring and Assad's rather brutal response to it We could discuss various details and sub plots if you want breadnbutter At the moment, it appears Russia are not going to stop arming Assad, so I don't see how he can lose in which case it is better he wins the worst scenario is what we have now...civil war |
|
By:
just my opinion
argue your case breadbutter |

By:
watching the fork tongued weasel blair waving his arms about as he talks like a double glazing salesmen gives me the boak .
