observer Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Quite a lot of fuss arising from the nutters heading to join ISIS; some being arrested, charged and possibly imprisoned for wanting to go there. Imprisonment would cost the tax-payer, and arguably prison, with similar nutters, would simply reinforce their perverse ideology. So, why don't they just let them go, on the understanding that they will never be allowed back, and perhaps include their immediate families too? Then we can leave the rest to the USAF and local Kurds & Iraqis to deal with. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Every news item about today's withdrawal from Afghanistan has included a reporter asking various people what they think our involvement has achieved. Apparently, the country's opium crop is better now than when the west first intervened & we have a Taliban force ,in the form of IS, that is better organised, better armed & more aggressive.That is progress ?

algy Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Wait until the IS get their grubby mitts on all the gear we have left in Camp Bastion, a big logistical gift from the British tax payer!. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
