Saudi Arabia is responsible for the funding of near 100% of 'Islamic' terrorist organisations. Hamas, al Qaeda, perhaps even ISIS all benefited. Only when PR turns against them or these organisations become a threat to SA itself does the funding stop.

Noting that he had “made clear that America would act as part of a broad coalition,” the President declared at the White House: “That’s exactly what we've done.” Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Qatar all participated in the operation, the U.S. military said. Bahrain, Jordan, and the UAE all said they took part in the airstrikes. Saudi Arabia did as well, the U.S. military said, and Qatar played a supporting role. “The strength of this coalition makes it clear to the world that this is not America’s fight alone,”
British Defense Secretary Michael Fallon said, “The UK supports the airstrikes launched by the U.S. and regional allies last night,” the Defense Ministry said on Twitter.

I'm off fishing in the gentle countryside. Give a bunch of psychos some money and guns to topple Assad and then when they go postal loving their new role then you only have yourself to blame. Bring back the Taliban. Times were simpler then.

Not to denigrate from what they are actually doing, and doing it very well, but when it kicked off in that part last week, the UN pulled back to be closer to the Israeli forces.

Another set of troops were meant to be going out sometime this month to replace the IDF over there but it was decided to keep the current Irish troops stationed in Syria over there.In fairness the Irish troops aren't really trained or equipped for a real combat situation.

However, every time I hear people like who denounce the yanks or brits, I'm reminded of that hideously overacted scene from 'A Few Good Men'. I don't know what the world would be like if it wasn't for the US and British sticking their oars in, and fcukin up various countries, and I'm not condoning what they have done, but do you know what, if push comes to shove, I know who I'll be throwing my lot in with. Their way of life is most compatible with mine and what I aspire for my kids. if I am a fool, at least I'm not a hypocrite. I need people like them "on the wall". And at the risk of sounding overly dramatic, if I've to make a choice between the blue star of david or the black flag of IS, where's my Uzi and kippah... The world is what it is, some bad ****e has/is happening, so next time you suck your skinny latte on your ipad, on some free wi-fi in Starbucks, exercising your freedom of expression, you might consider what the world would be like now for people like us without them. Better? Worse? Worse I think. If it wasnt the US, it would be some other great satan for these guys.
