MPs should consider allowing Britain to bomb Islamic State targets in Syria, the defence secretary is to say.
The RAF has been carrying out strikes in Iraq since September but Michael Fallon will say Parliament should look at the case for missions in Syria too.
The UK does not need the backing of MPs to launch raids but Mr Fallon has said the Commons will have the final say.
He will suggest terrorist attacks, such as Friday's tourist murders in Tunisia, may have been planned by IS in Syria.
Thirty of the 38 tourists killed on the beach in Sousse on 26 June have been confirmed as British.
Student Seifeddine Rezgui, 23, said to have had links to IS, was shot dead by police after carrying out the attack.
Prime Minister David Cameron later said IS posed "an existential threat" to the West, and its members in Iraq and Syria were plotting "terrible attacks" on British soil.

ISIS has now declared a caliphate in Russia's North Caucasus region.
The West should be using all it's diplomatic muscle to form a working military axis with Russia to attack ISIS, which is beginning to pose an existential threat to Russia, as well as The West. |

One way or the other, its just history in the making. It has always gone on and will continue to do so ad infinitum.
Country borders, National boundaries, religious/political/linguistic/racial spheres of influence are all temporary. In 500 years time the World map will look totally different to what it does now. As, indeed, it was 5.000/1,000/100 years in the past. In 5,000 years there will be no Islam...something new will have ousted it. History doesn't stop just because YOU are here! That was YOU as in a general, undefined indication. |

The Iranian Ambassador to the United Nations had just finished giving a speech, and walked out into the lobby where he met President Bush.
They shook hands, and as they walked the Iranian said, ''You know, I have just one question about what I have seen in America.'' President Bush said, "Well, anything I can do to help you, I will." The Iranian whispered: ''My son watches this show 'Star Trek' and in it there is Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, Uhura who is Black, and Sulu who is Chinese, but no Arabs. My son is very upset and doesn't understand why there aren't any Iranians, Syrians, or Iraqis on "Star Trek." President Bush laughed, leaned toward the Iranian ambassador, and whispered: ''It's because it takes place in the future.'' |

He was falling for the Hampstead luvvies dinner party advice MM. I am seriously concerned how often the idiots in the F.O seem to get it wrong in the middle east. Those clowns would be arming Hezbollah and IS against Israel if they were left to it.
