Why would you just let ISIS murder tens or hundreds of thousands of people and gain in strength so they could pose a bigger threat in future?
Do you support them? |
|
By:
Best to ignore this attention seeking mug.
|
|
By:
Yes I do. Support airstrikes in Iraq not ISIS.
Wouldn't support ground troops though and would need more convincing about airstrikes in Syria. |

By:
No here. I'm going there on holiday and flying is the easiest.

Yes. |

There are some great caravan sites in Iraq and now that Disney have opened it's getting more and more popular. |

I like aniseed flavour with "Baghdad" all the way through.

beware though if you ask where the donkey rides are. Different culture.

It's a no from me btw, as it was for Libya. These things sort themselves eventually, the west interferes too much.

By:
No
It will achieve nothing and just get us bogged down in another open ended conflict lasting years just like afghanistan The Taliban are still going strong in Afghanistan afet 13 years of war and it may well be the same story with isis Canmeron has said many times its a war which may well go on for years We have done enough damage already and wasted enough money and lives by intervening in the middle east and its now time for us to go away and leave it to the locals Having said that I would certainly arm and support Iran,Syria and maybe Turkey if they want in as they are the main regional players with strong armies and air forces |

By:
Yes. But I expect being the cowards they are, they will soon move their weapons to civilian areas leading to the normal dilemma of the lives of innocent victims.
|
|
By:
Yes. Let's Roll.
As long as the US of A does all the heavy lifting as per usual. |

The chances of the English hostage now being released looks as remote as remote can get :-(
This morning in a lively sauna, one of the old boys brought up ISIS...feck me! A bloke in there was an Iraqi...he went on a 5 minutes rant about Britain, namely Blair and how he brought all this on and should be charged with war crimes etc... He then reeled off the number of british soldiers needlessly killed and the knock on effect it had on their families and named several Iraqi factions i'd never even heard of. While he agreed Saddam was an evil dictator he also said these factions never stepped out of line until... Well done Tony! A thoroughly well deserved peace award  What a mess! Politicians to lead from the front. At the head of front line Cameron, Milliband, Clegg, and Blair - The 4 horseman! Also joining the ground troops into battle...Murdoch clan, daily mail, both George Bush's and Obama...The majority of the cabinet to follow. Why were the atrocities in Syria ignored for so long? To answer the OP's question - NO. |

If you are referriong to isis.al mustra.al qeeda etc atrocities the west was not bothered as they are fighting the wests number one enemy in the region President bashir al assad of syria However when isis went in to iraq and starting beheading westerners there the west were forced to do something Every cloud has a silver lining for the west however as they now have an entry in to syria and can now go after assad |

do u support air strikes in the usa - considering theyre by far the most terroristic nation on earth? or do u want another scapegoat? world war coming up - have to have an enemy, Russia? iran? Iraq? Syria? china?(oh no, they're bailing the us economy out)
|
|
By:
divide and rule, old ploy, no one knows any more who the real enemies are, but it'll be thick, gullible people who'll suffer as usual.

Go and lie down in a dark room. You will soon feel better.

By:
absolutely not. it's sheer madness
i simply don't believe the government - any government - when they say there will be attacks in britain if we don't deal with them now |
|
By:
NO
I hate cameron |
|
By:
Strikes? Just drop the Atomic bomb and be done with it ...
|
|
By:
Can't we bomb Bradford instead.
Look at the savings on fuel... |
|
By:
we're sending 6 jets they say,
....we "will" play our little part |
|
By:
I would say yes, with one caveat.
No "Collateral damage". The thought of the killing of yet more innocent people is awful. |
|
By:
That's a NO then.
It's not a one-to-one fight to the death in a boxing ring. |

By:
The more we get involved the more it affects the British Isles,maybe we need to concentrate on removing all the extremists from our country and pumping up our border patrols to exclude the one's who want to do the west harm whilst wearing Nike trainers,drinking Coca Cola and claiming they are persecuted in their own country's.
If we need to send aircraft it's to Calais. No |

No
People need to think a little more deeply. How did ISIS come out of nothing, have only 20,000 or so fighters driving round in humvies and every one seems so petrified? Why when they want to control the levant(includes Israel) don't israel seem concerned in fact why didn't they want america to get involved? Why are saudi and qatar two countries effectively the 51st state of America funding ISIS. If the US told them to stop the funding these countries would say when yet the US haven't done this. Why are the us and Iran co-operating when for the last decade Iran was apparently the most dangerous nation on earth? Looks to me that the puppet master is looking to create a sunni shia war. Why do we need to send 6 fighter jets to the region when the saudis have hundreds? The three beheadings seem to have been the catalyst that turned the public to supporting this. Yet our allies the saudis have behead far more people in the last month. |

Yes. But I expect being the cowards they are, they will soon move their weapons to civilian areas leading to the normal dilemma of the lives of innocent victims. \Of course they will move in to civilian areas. They are not likely to sit out in broad daylight waiting for the brave US fighter jets to bomb them are they? You would have thought that those contemplating my have foreseen this potential glitch in the plan. What we will have social network presentation of the slaughter of thousands of innocent people with children getting a special plug. This will only serve to radicalise more alienated people and act as a calling card for more people to head to region or carry out attacks in their country of residence. The US have been bombing in Iraq for six weeks and made virtually no impact on the territory ISIS hold. In fact they took a town 30 miles from baghdad this week which include a military station. |
