French fighter jets have dropped 20 bombs on the Islamic State (IS) stronghold of Raqqa in northern Syria.

The planes hit a jihadi recruitment centre, training camp and arms depot run by the group, according to the French defence ministry.

The bombing raid was France's biggest to date in Syria, and was launched from air bases in United Arab Emirates and Jordan.

>What about the terrorists in their yard?

My thoughts too. I’d be in their mosques with Jack Boots and asking questions and taking names.

Knowing it was France, what was in those bombs, moldy cheese or stale wine?

Anything less than a tactical nuke is too little.

Reminds me of this dialog:

‘Hendrick and Johnson were warm friends, the latter putting great faith in the judgment of the chief. On one occasion Johnson was preparing a small force to repel an invasion, and asked Hendrick’s opinion of them.

“If they are to fight they are too few; if they are to die they are too many,” laconically replied the chief.’

“Wonder if anyone was still there?”

Likely women and children are there. The men are “refuges” who won’t need to hijack planes next time they murder our citizens.

Well IF, (please note I said if) we had not tried to destabilize and regime change Syria or Libya, (remember that so called ‘Arab Spring’), in the first place then no one would be bombing ISIS there. For that matter IF we hadn`t armed those mythical unicorns known as ‘moderate muslims” we wouldn`t need bombing them there or in other areas of the Middle East.

This is bull crap. Feel good monkey shit propaganda. I’ve no doubt they’re bombing the “ISIS stronghold and recruitment center”, Did they get the food court and beauty salon too?

Are the French hurting for a bomb supply?

Well what we`ve done is help to create this issue, remember the arab spring thingy? Then we exacerbated it by attempting to arm a mythical creature, idiots retards who believe in it refer to it as a 'Moderate Muslim', truth is there is no such thing, just another unicorn story.
