That's a reasoned post, jockey but surely what's needed more than more bombs, is a plan? Nobody on this thread, and more worryingly, parliament, has laid down anything resembling one. IS aren't marching around in the open waving black flags and the idea that the Free Syrian Army are capable of defeating them is, if not delusional, optimistic in the extreme...and even if they did, then what? Do we even know what "victory" would consist of?
