Is Spain involved in the ISIS conflict?

[Zacs-Master]

In what way?
Do you mean are they using their armed forces to combat them, or do you mean, are there any Spanish people who have been radicalised?

[cameliaheartfelt]

Using their armed forces.

[Zeuhl]

so far, Spain has sent humanitarian aid but no military equipment or active military involvement.

a useful update from The Telegraph a few days ago.

No, because Americans are the main contractors and its all upto them who they want to have share in this profitable and lucerative business.

keyplus90 I hope that was sarcastic because much as defend muslim stereotyping on this site, that sounded like something a hostage in orange would be forced to say.

[FrogNog]

As *I* defend. Sorry

It seemed the Saudis were in the lucrative business of arming ISIS, and maybe the Russians fit in there somewhere with the Syrian debacle.

[keyplus90]

Who did Saudi's buy all those weapons from? and which of the countries were planning to go and fight alongwith ISIS last year? ISIS are nothing but CIA creation to enable Americans what they were unable to establish last year, an allied attack on Syria.

[jim360]

That's pathetic nonsense. ISIS was around even before the Syrian Civil War, from 2006.

According to Keyplus the US is responsible for everything - from beheading Ken Bigley, to 9/11, to shooting Malala Yousafzai - and now ISIS - but he's big on propaganda.

[jim360]

Apparently keyplus might find an unlikely ally in a relative of mine, then! Although said relative would probably say that even the US is just under control of some puppet masters or other...

[keyplus90]

You only have to read wikileakes and then my name is not Edward Snowden to find out what Americans are doing or have ambitions to do in this world. And it is a well known thing that 9/11 was an inside job.

[vulcan42]

keyplus , is it the ambition of America to have a Muslim world?

[jim360]

"And it is a well known thing that 9/11 was an inside job."

No it isn't.

Don't agree with keyplus, but can anyone tell me why Assad went from having tea with the Queen and being offered an honorary Knighthood to this blood-thirsty monster as has been depicted lately.
Atheists, Christians, Zoroastrians, all were welcome to live peacefully in Assad's Syria. And we're funding/arming Islamists to overthrow him. There's some very dirty business going on(in our name) and I'd like to know why.
Did he cancel his father's arms contracts, with us, and buy stuff cheaper from the Russians. Cant be that simple, can it?
