It's not a game, is war, and we are at war.

Isis want to kill us.


It's a warped perspective indeed that looks for reasons not to do what it takes to defeat these butchers.

The government acted quickly when they felt it was absolutely necessary to do so in the defence of this country. I have no problem with that. Now those actions are going to be scrutinised to ensure they were legal. I have no problem with that either.

While I am not going to lose any sleep over the deaths, those who say they don't care if it was legal or not are clearly not seeing where going down a road like that could end up.

I'm a little uncomfortable with the fact that the government can just press a button and exterminate anyone they choose, without trial or accountability. I'm sure they deserved it, but who gets to make that decision? Does anyone really believe this power won't be misused?

We need to be careful that our own government doesn't morph into the very regimes we feel so threatened by.

If the government have evidence they were an 'imminent threat' then this evidence needs to be made public without delay.

The best way to defend the country is to adhere to the rule of law, national and international.
We British created a lot of International Law relating to wars after the horrors of the second world war.
The rule of law is what separates us from people like.....Islamic State.
Whether or not this drone thing was legal? I'll leave that to the lawyers when some facts emerge.

Yes although I'm glad they are dead I hope we have kept within the recognised boundaries of international warfare or we are no better than the scumbags who kidnap and kill for shock effect.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

I'd go a few steps further and solve the ISIS problem in 5 minutes.....Drop a nuclear bomb on Raqqa, then we'd see Jehadi John's smile wiped off his chops.

I do often wonder? Raqqa?.......The U.S.A could quite easily bomb that place right back into the stone-age without any need for total obliteration? Pinpoint strikes on water/sewage facilities, electric/power supply facilities, communication infrastructure, fuel storage/supply depots and pipelines, major transport/supply routes, bridges etc?.......Some example of the perfect Islamic capitol Raqqa would be then? Would a WW2 1940's U.S.A have flattened and carpet bombed Raqqa in the same way it did with Tokyo?

A 1920's Britain would have used Mustard Gas. It would have exterminated the rodents and saved the buildings for the displaced to return to.

Then again if this was the '20s Faisal would never have allowed these events to unfold in the first place.

So you'd be happy if the government decided you and your family were a threat to the country and used a drone to kill you, safe in the knowledge that they'd have no 'legal clap trap' to deal with in the aftermath?

HM Government didn't "decide" these people were a threat, they did that all by themselves.

You're very likely correct, but if we go down the road that TDH suggests, then that is a potential outcome.

Good post!.....The world seems to be a totally different place now?.....Another thing that IMO questions the utter lunacy of the civil liberty people? ISIS is more than just a bunch of terrorists it's also an army that acts like an army, dresses like an army that uses conventional military tactics and equipment to take territory? It even claims to have its own special forces equivalent of the U.S Navy Seals and all shown in ISIS propaganda video footage.

The IRA never went into 'battle' using tanks, armoured personnel carriers, heavy artillery guns, rocket launch systems and Humvee's? Neither did the IRA state its desire to invade/ conquer vast territory and places like Rome with invading army intent!

Quite possibly. I'd still like to know that there are checks and balances in place though to stop our elected leaders acting on a whim. Call me old-fashioned in that regard.

Can you imagine if Corbyn had that kind of power at his fingertips in the future? "What did that Perchrock guy call me on Planet Swans? Send in the drones!"

Wouldn't the buildings smell of mustard though? Might harm the property prices.

Allenby would probably have arranged to have consignment of Air Wick dropped by 113 Squadron so as not to put off potential buyers.

Planning was key for those boys.

They're even breaking the health and safety rules about aerosols on planes. Those were the days!

My thoughts on this matter are, has the government saved British lives by taking out these two suspected terrorists or have they put more British lives at risk.
I suspect the latter.
