We're told this will be different to 2003 but it's hard to forget that every Western military intervention since the turn of the century has resulted in chaos. Libya is the most recent example.

Yes but this is a 5 or 10 year mission
No USA or UK fighting troops on the ground "new rules."


So other local nations will start a force up
of killers that will try to kill all Isil.




Libya was a Rush Job
nothing like this



Its not likely
that Isil can shoot down any Air Force planes
yet
