MPs Give Approval For UK Airstrikes In Iraq

MPs have overwhelmingly voted for airstrikes against Islamic State (IS) fighters in Iraq - meaning RAF bombing raids could take place in hours.

Parliament gave approval for Britain to join the US-led coalition after the Prime Minister said IS forces are "psychopathic terrorists trying to kill us".

David Cameron told the Commons debate that Islamic militants "have already murdered one British hostage" and are "threatening the lives of two more".

He described IS, which has invaded large areas of Syria and Iraq, as "a terrorist organisation unlike those we have dealt with before".

1. We got the old gang back together!

[VanillaRhapsody]

2. ANd Belgium and Denmark!

Like I said Far far Lefties and Libertarians on DU "you will find yourselves on the wrong side of history this time".

And their comparison of Obama to GWB is utter horseshit and ridiculous!

[Comrade Grumpy]

3. I wouldn't be too quick to jump on any triumphalist bandwagons.

Wars have a funny way of making unexpected things happen.

[VanillaRhapsody]

5. why not....you are certainly quick to condemn!

Aren't you?

And it exposes you...

6. Good point

I guess it's OK to "condemn" things, but then again some here have a misguided sense of reality.

I have seen a poster refer to the president as "George W. Obama", and also read a post where the poster said we should stay out of the ME and just let the "assholes" kill each other, or course innocent bystanders will also get killed, but I guess for those that simply hate everything the president does, that's OK.

I am sure however that some of the same bunch that are attacking him no for going in to help those innocent people would be screaming at the top of their lungs "to" help them, if he sat back an did nothing.

11. Exactly...they seem to have no concern

For the scores of refugees fleeing to Jordan and Turkey. OR are they the "assholes" they are talking about?

[Comrade Grumpy]

14. Scores of refugees? Try millions. More than 100,000 Kurds at Kobani in recent days.

And maybe cut back on the coffee. You seem a bit tightly wound today.

[Comrade Grumpy]

8. What are you talking about?

[ballyhoo]

10. We will be fighting a continuous war

against an organization created by agents of the very people who are leading the fight against it. This will do nothing but create more money for the MIC, which directed the creators of said organization. Tens of thousands of innocents will be killed merely as props to enrich the bully class. I have seen nothing as transparent or as disgusting as this in my 68 years of life. We deserve whatever befalls us.

13. funny many countries seem to disagree with you

Do you think Belgium and Denmark are "in it for the oil" too as some here like to say?

[Comrade Grumpy]

16. "Your hatred of Pres. Obama is about to bite you in the ass."

What is your fucking problem? Who says I hate Obama?

Again. What is your fucking problem? Do you just spew shit blindly?

[VanillaRhapsody]

18. whats the matter? Did I strike a nerve?

"You mad"?

[Comrade Grumpy]

20. Well, I just alerted on you for your inappropriate behavior. We'll see what happens.

I don't really understand what you beef with me is. You seem angry and your attacks are misguided. Take a break.

[VanillaRhapsody]

21. well

Doesnt chsnge the truth...

[Comrade Grumpy]

23. Keep digging. Oh, you can't. At least not on this thread. What a shame.

[iandhr]

4. How dare you bring facts into a discussion on this site.

[Andy823]

7. I know

Comparing the two is insane, and it should make people wonder just what kind of an agenda those who do this really have. I think anyone has the right to disagree on things that the president does, but way to many people here cross the line with their BS about him being the same as Bush.

[ballyhoo]

9. In your opinion--You and yours will be proved

wrong to the max once again.

[VanillaRhapsody]

15. apparently Belgium France Great Brittain and Denmark

And 5 arab Nations disagree with you now....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Humanitarians my ass!

[ballyhoo]

17. Dupes duped.

[VanillaRhapsody]

19. right because Denmark and Belgiun always fight wars

"Just for oil"right?

[ballyhoo]

22. Nothing to do with oil for them. The group that created ISIS

equipped them well enough and videoed enough beheadings that the people are scared. Nothing more. It's a play.

[dipsydoodle]

24. I'm perfeclty cool wth that

No lies this time.

[Lenomsky]

25. Bloody fools ...

So after a few bombs what exactly do they intend to bomb?

I pity the people on the ground.
