    An Islamic State needs money to function. Why don't we go after the sources of that money.

    We did this morning.

    RAF Tornado's took out a Daesh controlled and operated oil field in the Syrian side of their 'Caliphate'.

    Until the vote last night we could not target that source of their funding.

    Many more facilities like this are no doubt being targeted as we speak.

    We should at least be honest and admit bombing alone isn't going to work either.

    Precisely what most of the Ayes said yesterday, including the Government front bench.
    An Islamic State needs money to function. Why don't we go after the sources of that money. Why do we ignore the people who buy their oil; and that other state in the region beginning with "S" which promotes extreme religious ideology which allows these cults to grow.

    You don't think that destroying Daesh's means of acquiring commodities to sell (to whoever that might be) will help with that aim?

    You think we're not ?

    One innocent t person murdered by us makes us as guilty as they are ...

    So disgusted with last night actions ... I can't even begin to state how disgusted I am

    And indeed will do.

    I'm horrified by this. Is this really a mainstream argument in British politics outside the cluster whatsit that is Mr Corbyn's Labour?

    ISIS must be beaten, there is no negotiation. How can you negotiate with a group that want to kill gays and apostates?

    Okay, you can chuck the Anglicans off the roof but you can only shoot Catholics.

    I fail to understand how all of the SNP managed to vote against the British military being involved in fighting this scum. It's a stain on Scottish history frankly.

    Ohhh I agree ISIS must be beaten ... where have I ever stated otherwise ?

    But there are other ways than bombing ... I'm not even saying bombing should never be used ... it should however never be used as the go to solution


    And why when more are fleeing Assad are we not dealing with that ? Assad used chemical weapons against his own people ... yet that was deemed acceptable and not worth bombing for ?

    You've fallen for the MSM spinning hook line and sinker ... I hope you can live with the blood on your hands
