No religious faction in Iraq or Syria is pro-American.

Argentine them in an area with shoot on sight orders for any violating it. Forever. What they do inside the zone is on them.

"Dannatt wrote in the Daily Mail. 'These majestic ruins represent thousands of years of human civilisation...'"

"Thousands of years?" He exaggerates like a bad girl. Rome wasn't all that.

The King of Jordan said he would fight ISIS until he ran out of bullets.

Any word from Jordan lately?

They only had five bullets.

Last I saw, Jordan was staging rebels (FSA) to fight Assad’s forces. Looks like Jordan is more concerned about keeping Iranian interests out.

FWIW, that’s what the US did for the first several years of WWI and WWII; taking all the gold the Allies had, before entering those wars.

In any event, the more important question is, why aren’t the Aaaa-rabs doing something to protect their dynasties?

I’ll send a case of hair restorer for the Bald Ibis, but I’m thinking it’s about time for Arabs to start defending themselves from their bloodthirsty Brothers.

Is this the scion of the same Lord Dannett who was bagpiped ashore on June 6, 1944? Or blew a Fox call or something?
English royalty. No thanks.

Too late. The WHO eradicated it, except for some test tube cultures that are under tight control.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. Just because they like to chase cute little foxes around on horseback with a pack of hounds that they’ve starved to make sure they’re chasing the pore little feller, too, doesn’t mean they’re all nuts. Why, a fox is liable to bite someone without a pack of starving hounds to protect his unprovoked attackers. This is all part of a proud cultural heritage. Why, if it weren’t for the nobility in the days of yore attacking the other noblemen’s serfs, what purpose would noblemen have? And are you forgetting the glorious War of the Roses? (But seriously, I wouldn’t say they were all nuts. Sir Winston was bipolar, but his daily struggle to keep from offing himself transformed him into a great statesman, and in many ways the salvation of Western civilization, as well as a great writer and historian).

Not that it’s anything to do with he subject of the thread, but just for the record Dannatt is neither an aristocrat or remotely connected to royalty. He’s a professional soldier whose parents were a bible teacher and an architect. It’s not unusual for a former Chief of the General Staff to be given a Life Peerage on retirement - this means that he’s a member of the upper house of Parliament for his lifetime, but the title isn’t inherited, it dies with him.

We managed to corral several hundred thousand for the Iraq and Afghan wars. I know we have had cuts and aren’t as big as we once were, but neither are two old men and a dog.

As to UK mess, its not remotely aa apocalyptic as you lot think, and its not the army’s job anyway. If anyone should clear up self-mess first, take a hard look at yourselves.

A British general talks about the UK doing something,leading by example. and all we get is the usual Anglophobia.
