UK forces kill own citizens in Syria

Surprised Cameron has to defend himself over this, seems perfectly reasonable way to deal with these barbarians. Hopefully it deters others from following in their footsteps.

They may not have been a direct threat, but being a member of IS in a warzone still makes them a legitmate target.

And how do you know or prove that they were "members of ISIS"? How can you know that anymore than a 14 year old boy lifted from the streets of Lahore or Islamabad and shackled in Gitmo for a decade was a "member" of Al Qaeda? Kind of makes a mockery of it all doesn't it?
Does ISIS have a membership club coupled with id cards? Did these guys announce their "membership" before they were killed? Surely if there is a membership then the great GCHQ ought to know, no?

Assad is a terrorist who's been massacring his own people .
Isis are terrorists mostly Iraqis and mainly former Saddam loyalists .
With a heavy dose of foreign fighters from elsewhere.
Isis aren't the opposition in syria they control supply lines and some areas near the Iraq border .
You have the free Syrian army pretty well known but more splintered forces than a decent standing army .
And then you have various Islamic groups scattered around syria fighting for control of small areas .
Things get more complicated when you have iranian forces fighting in Iraq who in turn are funding the war in Yemen who Saudi and other arab coalitions forces are fighting who are also trying to fight Isis .
Step back? assad is supplying Isis in Iraq with electricity,
Who in turn are supplying assad with crude oil ,
Now Russia can install air defence systems in syria that can easily target aircraft inside of Iraq who's should be worried US ,UK and Arab coalition aircraft.
Also possible to target isrealie aircraft too but they won't sit back and allow that to happen .
As I said it's a total cluster**** of a situation.

You seem to be making it up as you go along, Gatling. Wasn't ISIS/ISIL/IS the gang who were unleashed in Libya at the behest of NATO to turn the place into a cauldron of death? They then took to Iraq where they were called extremists but also to Syria where the were called "moderates". They have filmed themselves cutting open and eating the organs of Syrian state soldiers and still you try to state that these lunatics, funded by Qatar and Saudi Arabia are not baddies. You claim to know who the real freedom fighters in Syria are. When the Brits incinerate a few of them, you clap and call the victims terrorists, yet were Assad or the Russians to do the same thing you call them tyrants. You state that Assad is a terrorist who is massacring his own people...do you have any source or context for such a claim? I, and I'm sure many others, would like to know about these "massacres". When did they happen? A source would be greatly appreciated.

While you're at it, a little insight into those 12 "opposition" groups in Syria that you know so much about would be appreciated too.

Thanks in advance.

Planning and intending to engage in acts intended to kill large numbers of your fellow citizens at the behest and encouragement of a hostile foreign entity would probably be a pretty good fit.

No, that's not a good fit at all. And it doesn't come close to the definition of treason.

I've seen some bleeding heart liberals on here but this is special kind of bleeding heart.

Love the user name by the my assad

Are you going to provide any insight into the 12 opposition groups in Syria? Are you going to provide any insight into the men, women, children,etc. that you claim to know these guys killed? And finally are you going to shed any light onto the massacres that you claim Assad has perpetrated? A simple yes or no would suffice.
