No Arthur we must not use or troops in this battle unless requested, air support yes.

Three cheers for the Peshmerga.

How comforting to know that country has nukes.

The islamic countries have been very good at letting the West fight the battles whilst reaping the rewards. It's time for them to show they themselves care for their fellow islamists by wiping out this vile group of gangsters.

The whole situation is bizarre, with terrorists fighting terrorists (PKK fighting IS) so the fallout at the end of this latest Middle Eastern debacle will be interesting to say the least.

It's an internal fight between rabid dogs. Interfearing will only get us bitten.

We should sit back and just guard against any overspill.

Yup, it's time for oil rich countries to start using their resources to fight the enemy within. We can support, guide and offer intelligence but the time has come for their boots and equipment to be on the ground and in the air. We have plenty to do worrying about and dealing with the threat these Islamic extremists pose at home.

I was thinking that when I read that article.

Being nuked isn't the punishment for blasphemy just yet and they don't have any intermediate or long range missiles so we'll be alright for at least a few hours while it escalates.

If Saudi Arabia would stop sponsoring the growth of Islamic extremists in the UK that'd be a bonus of course.

Anyone want to play spot the difference - ISIL / Saudia Arabia edition?
