To bomb Syria?

How dare she mention the truth!

On a side note, a few nice people are nipping over to Calais to give a hand to fleeing innocents of not just this clusterfudge of a military intervention but many more. This is from a fellow local, even if you couldn't give a monkies about people literally dying to flee their homes be patriotic and throw a stafford lad a few quid to help out (he also does fancy sparkly things at festivals, like bombs but at the sky where nobody dies and everyone enjoys themselves):

Playing a board game with my youngest today and he had to name things found in a suitcase, his first response "bombs if you're in Paris" He then went on to say that he thought we were going to bomb Syria to stop them stealing our food.

32 fighters dead apparently. Talk of raids (plural) and US led (how many bombing?) but no mention of how many multi million quid explosives they dropped to kill these 32.

Also:
"According to the monitor, Russian strikes have killed more than 1,500 people, including 419 IS fighters, but also nearly 500 civilians, since they began on September 30.“

Wonder who the other 600 were?

Someone somewhere decided to chop the trees down to build a playground, leaving a load of sticks around for the kids to hit each other with.

So it appears the people buying the oil and therefore funding ISIS are in fact the people we are supporting with our bombing raids against ISIS? Go team!

"LONDON (Reuters) - Islamic State militants have made more than $500 million (£330 million) trading oil with significant volumes sold to the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and some finding its way to Turkey, a senior U.S. Treasury official said on Thursday."

So, if we are supporting Assad to fight ISIS, and Assad is supporting ISIS by buying their oil, then are we supporting ISIS by bombing Syria? Does that make Cameron an active terrorist supporter (not just a sympathiser)?
