And as we well know, President Obama is never wrong.

It's not his fault that he's never wrong.
It's Bush's fault!
I really hate that guy, for his actions (or lack of actions) in Benghazi. Giving the order for a Special Forces team to go in and get those guys out of there could have saved all of their lives, instead they were overrun by hundreds and were killed. I have no time for a Commander-in-Chief who doesn't stand by his men, (two of) the same men whose branch gave him glory just months earlier.

RAF Tornados sent to West Africa - IHS Jane's 360
So that's Tornados in Afghanistan (and training to go), Syria, and now West Africa. Has the force ever been so busy (especially given that it's never been so small)?

The last I was told was that 15 Sqn would disband sometime in 2015 but that 2, 9, and 31 Sqns would continue through to OSD, which would make more sense Will have to take another look.

BBC News - UK sending arms to Iraq government
Heavy machine guns and ammunition are being donated to Iraq to help fight Islamic State militants, the Ministry of Defence says.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said the equipment was worth about £1.6m, and there would be an estimated £475,000 in transport costs.

Glad to see the Ottoman Empire put to bed.

How much sense does it make for UK forces to go on the offensive just in Iraq, but NOT in Syria?
I don't think that IS are that concerned with national boundaries.

The key difference is that Iraqi leadership have asked us for help to sustain their beautiful and peaceful fully democratic state through the removal of a bunch of terrorist scumbags.
Thus, we can hold our heads up high as loyal supporters of a friendly ally and maintainers of world peace - without any legal implications to muddy the waters.
Syria, on the other hand, has not asked for our help. We therefore have absolutely no sovereign or legal right to fly in their airspace with any military aircraft, let alone fully armed combat jets.
It would be interesting to see what would happen if Assad did plead for help via the UN

Wether we drop in eye-rack on Syria is largely immaterial IMO. The few pw4 or brims we throw in the mix is like trying to fcuk a wet welly top. It's all about politicians looking good.
