When Are Islamic State Going To Be Stopped??

[keithbobo]

It seems everyday the news and atrocities carried out by this group gets
worse.

If the world literally united and sent troops from every country with a military surely these could be stopped? Even the Islamic countries, let's see how much they believe how out of control and wrong I.S are or do they just say they're in the wrong. All words and no action?

[stokemaveric]

the u.s and the uk are loathe to put ''boots on the ground'' they are content to strike from the air at the moment,but mark my words there will be a ground force op soon....

[Obiter]

Precisely. Where are Bush and Blair, just when you need them? This lot make Saddam look like Santa Claus.

[emmie]

Bitter lessons from previous iraq wars and the debacle of afghanistan might make them reticent. BLAIR was a liar and bush a *** how many british troops would we lose if we go in.russia should be involved they have weaponry also diplomatic clout which cameron does not have. All for special ops sas and the like fight fire with fire and bomb the bsrdd bzck to the stone age. What is wrong is how many IS are british born. This is so predictable how about scenario here these hotheads start on the jews here

When Obama and Cameron stop pussyfooting around and we deploy troops on the ground in overwhelming numbers. and sooner rather than later
They are a much bigger threat than the Taliban and Saddam, and need to we wiped out quickly.

[emmie]

I saw some Young men earlier getting people to give their views on palestine in support young muslims british born we have shored up endless problems here by our open border to all with 3 milion muslims now and just over 250 thousands jewish people this wont be long before open hostility and worse. In all seriousness a d said this before we could end upwith civil war in uk. Many are peeing on us from above and the pow
That be have their heads up their arris.

[jourdain2]

They've started emmie, did you not see that idiot MP, George Galloway, declaring Bradford 'an Israeli-free' zone last week to a background of jubilant muslims? The lovely Victorian town-hall now flies a Palestinian flag.

[emmie]

Hilarious that many are brits. They are well armed and in control. They are many and will be more. The genie is out the bottle and it wont be easy to put stopper back in. They have nothing to lose.

[keithbobo]

I get it. We've spent the last 10 years fighting in Iraq/Afghan and they're are reluctant to start it all over again given how many soldiers we lost. I understand completely.

But something HAS to be done. If history has taught us anything the world DOES respond when this kind of thing happen. But it needs to be now not in a years time! Air strikes do very little!

[Obiter]

The sad thing is that the West have the capacity to solve this problem within hours, but the collateral damage may be such as not to be acceptable to those of a more left-leaning persuasion .

[Gromit]

Apparently up to 800 have gone to fight for IS. We now have a great opportunity to make sure they will never threaten anyone again, if only Obama and Cameton would do their duty.

Emmie, Galloways Respect (sic) Party are not muslim, they are marxists. He is just pandering in Bradford to win votes. The people cheering at his anti Israel comments were Respect Party activists, including many whites and leftwingers.

[Gromit]

Obiter,
If you are hinting at a Nuclear option, it wouldn't work.

[Obiter]

"Air strikes do very little!"

Try telling that to the inhabitants of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

[keithbobo]

Orbiter - I wasn't talking about nuclear bombs I was taking about normal air strikes. They do do very little in comparison to what needs to be done - Nuclear bombs.

[Obiter]

On that point I will fully agree with you.

[Gromit]

There is a cheaper option than a Nuclear bombs.

We could warn Saudi Arabia not to finance and arm IS. Or our airstrikes might begin Riyadh.

[Obiter]

The trouble with that is that the Saudi Air Force may be slightly more sophisticated than we think, seeing as the RAF trained most of them.

[Gromit]

There are a lot more people in Syria and Iraq who are not part of IS. How is your Nuclear bomb not going to kill everyone and not just the terrorists? Or because they are also muslims, they are in some way expendable?

[DTCwordfan]

Hopefully Tony and George Shrub head the first front-line troops in on the ground.....

[237SJ]

"...surely these could be stopped" The thing is, you can stop individuals but you can`t stop the mindset. Boko Harem, Al Qaeda, IS - these groups will always exist because their rhetoric is spread via the internet and that will never go away. Not in any of our lifetimes.

[youngmafbog]

No good just putting boots on the ground, we have to get tough at home.

And the left leaning liberals will never wear that, nor will the ECHR.
