Maybe we shouldn't have bombed the legal system there to pieces preventing them from being locked up for their crimes there.
Did any of you watched the video with that girl hanging out of a window of the Bataclan? Her and her baby (In the video she's heard saying "I'm pregnant") survived, she was pulled up. : )
I think maybe we shouldn't have 'bombed' our own legal system, preventing them from being extradited to these countries without massively long, overly expensive trials.
Well that doesn't seem fair, can't we just pretend to be the good guys and hope no one notices when we do bad things.
From the BBC website this morning - TBH, they could remove the colon and it wouldn't be any less surprising.
Breaking news: terrorist plan attack. Better push the threat level up from "we might get bombed" to "we definitely might get bombed". In other news: tautology is tautology, says expert professional.
I have my tin foil hat on as I type. Safety first is my motto. The cynic in me would say that this threat comes conveniently close to the commons vote on the cybersecurity/surveillance bill, connected perhaps?
Thanks to the soul-ectomy that all politicians receive when they are elected, they are completely incapable of human empathy. Therefore, I would say it's a given that yes, the surveillance bill is at the forefront of their minds rather than any rational to have the nation's best interests at heart.
I've been keeping an eye on mine all day, what worries me more is i think my smart fridge is trying to kill me, i swear the damn thing isn't chilling my food properly, it's trying to give me food poisoning i tell'ya. EDIT: Came across this video that probably states the obvious but still thought it worth posting, slight warning though it maybe NSFW as the reporter uses a naught word at the very end.
A price Blair wasn't willing to pay, when parts of America lusted for blood after 9/11 he did everything to justify their actions and even joined in and now there is a very steep price to pay for it.
I'm an atheist, but if anything could make me believe, it's Tony Blair. The guy is charmed --it actually seems as if he made a deal with the Devil. The Devil delivered, and now Blair's soul is forfeit and he knows. Hence his conversion to the Catholic faith. Of course it will not save him.
About as much as it would for C of E - not at all. Spawn of Loki that one, the penalty will possibly be delivered if there are any deities with a sense of justice (eternity with a globe and "Show us the weapons of mass destruction! Where's the proof? None? Here comes the red hot poker!" Not that I have any negative feelings towards a former Prime Minister). What happened in Paris is a tragedy, no ifs or buts. The reaction of the average person to it is exactly the same. If we change the way we behave then they win. That's their goal - to disrupt your behavior, to instill fear. Treat everyone the way you always have done, if they're plotting to kill you now they probably were doing so anyway. There is a humongous gulf in an important area - cultural understanding. The issue is not that we don't understand theirs but more that they don't give a flying **** about ours. Pick a country, it appears to be the same everywhere. The church is not the state, the state is not the church - it's that way for good reason. Theocracy is unsustainable without a heretic or infidel to hate. That's where we most differ. Address that and we may have some progress. Ignore it and we're back to nice words from politicians and they bomb our people, we bomb everything.
Is it that you objected to his foreign polices or his domestic politics as well? As assuming it is foreign policy was it just Iraq, Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan as well?
While Daesh are certainly being terrorists in their attacks outside Iraq and Syria, they do control territory there and act as a state in that sense and are involved in conventional (as opposed to guerilla) warfare against their opponents (Mostly other Syrian rebel groups, Kurds and the Iraqi army, though rarely Assad's forces). This an air campaign there isn't trying to combat terrorism from 20,000 feet, but rather proving air support to local ground forces, preventing Daesh making much use of and captured armour and taking out and other of their facilities.
