"Thirty countries have pledged to help Iraq in the fight the al-Qaeda breakaway group ISIL "by any means necessary", as leaders gathered to discuss their strategy.

French president Francois Hollande called for a global response to counter ISIL on Monday, as he opened a conference on Iraq, bringing together members of a US-led coalition.

"[The threat] is global so the response must be global," the French leader said, at a Paris conference aimed at coordinating a strategy against the group, which controls parts of northern Iraq and Syria.

   
 
"Foreign ministers from the main European states, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, Iraq's neighbours and Gulf Arab states Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UAE, are in Paris to discuss broad political, security and humanitarian aspects of tackling ISIL."

As I said, they've had it . . .eventually.

Somewhere around 15,000 to 17,000 nutjobs stuck out in the desert in two of the world's worst shitholes  and armed with equipment that would have your average drunken Russian separatist rolling on the ground laughing.

In numbers they barely rate when it comes to previous "hordes" that were said to threaten western civilisation and they're armed with equipment that would have your average drunken Russian separatist rolling on the ground laughing, yet now the western world has a collective shitfit?

It's not like they're doing anything new when it comes to barbarism... nothing that hasn't previously generated a collective yawn when it's happened elsewhere previously.

You have to wonder why suddenly all the excitement.

I've been waiting for a Post along those lines to make this point.  'We' better get these buggers out in the desert, and ensure they cannot get back to a major city into which they can dissolve without trace, or, if they leave a trail.....we will be forced to engage in urban street by street warfare, and that, I'm told, is nasty.

Yes....that's what stuffed Germany in Russia. The German Army did not consider that they may be stuck there through the winter. And, they froze to death in their thousands because of no winter kit...and Germany's inability to supply them with it.

The thousands of refugees pouring over the Turkish border will never be willing citizens of the Caliphate.

"What kind of muslims kill other muslims like this" one man was heard to say.

Sticky note: email my MP to urge govt to give massive aid to Turkey.

shouldnt we be finding a way for everyone to live with each other.. rather than kill each other to win a point??>..

what is it with extremists??....doesnt matter what they support its always over and above everything they or we believe in...

Hitler wanted to exterminate anything that wasnt white and Aryan.. for his master race.

white supreamists..are only happy if they too are exterminating..

and ISIL is no different they fear what they cant control..

lets face it.. if a Christian born and bred suddenly decides he/she wants to be a Mulsim and fight the good fight.. suddenly they are OK....over night they become  a hater of everything they once believed in...

like Hitlers jews if they were half jewish but looked Aryan.. then they werent jewish..

far out that makes a lot of sense to some..

I think you will find that it was policies like this that made christianity huge.  Talk about playing right into IS' hands.
