Donald Trump has threatened to “spill the beans” on the wife of Ted Cruz...
Just the thought of Donald 'spilling his beans' is enough to give you the terrors... Shudder

But if you don't intervene ISIS will kill people as well.
I'm conflicted about air strikes as they were only requested directly by the Christian minority ISIS was raping and killing.
But do nothing and then you have to read how many ISIS killed. Really feet on the ground for safe zones & more actual humanitarian help is a better solution, but that costs more money and UK lives so they don't want to do that.

Looks like another elderly reinsurance professional has lost the plot on social media. This time aimed at cyclists. Vote Lib Dem, bikes do not belong in towns.

The air strikes are slowing the progress of ISIS.
"Two months later, after the militants advanced on the Iraqi Kurdish city of Irbil, the US launched air strikes on IS positions in Iraq. A multinational coalition led by the US extended the air campaign to Syria that September.
Since then, IS has lost approximately 40% of the populated territory it once held in Iraq, and 10-20% of the populated territory it had seized in Syria,"http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-27838034
My point is NOT that this means the 1000 civilian deaths are ok. My point is look at all the information available before making a judgement.

The air strikes are slowing the progress of ISIS.
The air strikes forced Iraq to flee Kuwait. The airstrikes removed the Taliban from power in Afghanistan. The airstrikes brought down Saddam. The airstrikes resulted in the downfall of Qaddafi.
I hope they're finally working, but we've gone in blind.

On the other hand:
"Isis may be retreating, but it can afford to do so, since last year it seized an area larger than Great Britain. Its strength is not just military or geographical but political "
Nice, thanks. Good that they dismissed the appeal.
King Fahd, protector of the holy places etc etc, was sued for maintenance by his Scientologist ex-wife Janan Harb in the High Court. Except Fahd was basically on life support having suffered strokes as a result of pickling himself in Johnnie Walker over the years. When the court ruled that he was not entitled to sovereign immunity because his marriage was not in any way related to the discharge of his functions as sovereign - raising the prospect of a well-reported public court case that would shine a light on the altogether impious personal life of the Saudi King - he suddenly died.
Conspiracy thread >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Postscript. Having not thought about Janan Harb for a decade, I looked her up.
Late last year she finally won the money she was after from Fahd's son - who didn't show up in court because he didn't want the scrutiny and had to pay £25k for contempt of court
