I agree. Dave is crossing his fingers here. If ISIS parade a captured British pilot then things will get awkward for him especially if the public see no apparant benefits from extending the bombing to Syria.
He is not presenting a holistic approach to this ISIS issue: he should be detailing to the House a complete plan, one that involves economic sanctions on countries funding these groups, actions taken against individuals and companies handling the ISIS oil, prosecution of the banks who must be laundering the ISIS funds, deploying NATO troops to help Turkey close down the ISIS supply lines in and out of it's territory, what/who will be installed after ISIS is pushed back from its current territory, etc.
Only when the bombing can be shown to have a rational place in a coherent strategy would it make sense and so far, I see no such thing presented to the public or the House ..
