Just some observations

Serious bit 1st - Good result for the PM last night...

Put Britain back on the map and showed that he did mean what he said following Paris. Perhaps most satisfying for the Conservatives is the fact that it showed the Labour Party in complete internal combustion, something that will take the Labour Party quite some time to recover from.

Less serious bit - I wonder how long it will be before the 'war experts' come out of the woodwork to lend some 'credibility' to news reports. How long before Col Bob (the people's soldier) is asked for his 'expert' opinion?

Completely flippant bit - Finally, if I had the time (and wasn't wasting it on posts in internet forums ) I would put together a graphic of a Tornado with a made-up weapons payload, such as an Ion laser or something, and see how long it took to get used by some journalist in a proper news rag.
