Iraq's a work in progress
May aswell sling a few bombs Assads way while we're there.Save on Jet and warship fuel for when we undoubtedly go back.Which we will.The ball is already rolling and the idea has already been put before us to soften us up for when it happens so it's not so much of a shock.

If ISIS was'nt in the picture and Russia not stepping up support for the regime then i think by now we'd already be bombing Assad or very close to it.It has just been delayed.

Yes but i would bet that ISIS is not the only reason Russia wants a base in Syria.It's all part of the geo-political game of chess between East and West and the Russians are very good at chess!

Most of it is when it comes down to it. Afghanistan in the 80's was a tinderbox for all of this and it was essentially a big Russia / US dick swinging thing.

France are fastly overtaking italy as my favourite European Country.

The west would be foolhardy to bring about the fall of Asad whilst Russia brings about the fall of IS.

The US are playing a game of chess with Russia and in doing so, its the US, not Russia that could bring about massive long-term civil conflict in Syria.
