Got any Chicken Supreme or Baby's Heads?

Hmm, welcome back.

So it looks like we will become more engaged against the ISIL/Daish baby murdering, rapists and dog bonkers of Ali Bhagdaddi's co-called 'Caliphate'. So will the UK end up with 'boots on the ground' again, with so it has been reported, upwards of 5 thousand or even 10 thousands UK military personel being trained up and put on standby. There appears to be a wide range of opinions for getting re-involved, or not, in another hot, sweaty, sandy, fly blown shit hole in the Middle East. It would appear that Sepcial Forces could be operating there already (allegedly)

It is the experience that constant bombing does not always work. This ocurred during WW2. Even with all the Allied bombing by the RAF and the USAAF 8th Airforce did not knock out the Germans's ability to produce munitions. It was the fighting on two fronts, the Russian front and the Western front after the D-Day Allied landings that graudally wore down the Nazis. One comment by an American General, General George Patton who commented on the German Army having to use horse drawn transport was indicative of an army's desperate situation re: transportaion.

Perhaps if we see Dasih/ISIL using donkeys and slaves to transport their materiel could be indicative of an end to their murderous regime in those part of the Middle East.

Air strikes are only part of the operation. One thing is for sure, Daish/ISIL and other Islamic groups will not be open to, nor persuaded by well meaning Western Liberal Luvvie Do-gooders going in to engage in 'talks'.

Looks like persil ?? no sorry ISIL have taken a leaf out of the Viet Cong book on monkey warfare and seem to have tunnels everywhere to escape the bombing for coalition forces who for some bizarre reason put and ad on telly saying to the world that they are on the way to bomb the crap out of them so this give said terrorist time to go down his tunnel to get away
