Guided weapons that can hit a precise target. Problem is that you may not know exactly who or what is in that target!

That doesn't stop the weapon itself being precise does it ?

As for who is in the target that's where you rely on the recon and intelligence

Exactly. I asked LP days ago how he could be so certain as claimed on here that no innocents were killed. The answer was.............

There will always be innocents killed and it's a fact of these types of operations especially when IS and those before hide in communities and use innocents as shields.

On a different note, how refreshing is this http://news.sky.com/story/1600842/youaintnomuslimbruv-twitter-reacts-to-stabbing
 
Not quite getting where our aircraft bombing oil facilities fits with use of our more accurate guided missiles (which aint bombs) being used to hit specific small high value targets such as vehicles containing important Daesh personal. Did the HoC not give approval to the use of highly accurate guided missiles - that being the 'added value' UK can bring. Not seeing how bombing oil facilities fits with that - and that the US or France couldn't do that just as well as us.

The HoC gave approval for UK to join in with coalition effort by joining in with the air strikers and targeting strategic targets designed to reduce the capability of ISIS

Which is exactly what they are doing

The vote wasn't about whether they are allowed to use specific weaponary for goodness sake

???????? Are you on about Syrian/Russion alliance using barrel bombs which could at a stretch be described as a form of carpet bombing or the Yank coalition alliance who are using precision individually fired weapon systems.

It's an inaccurate generalisation I used. I should have been more specific.

So the actions of the regime are ok if we can flog em stuff?

Let's sell Islamic state some rolls royces, the bombing debate would be academic then?

Really Nick ?

Is that the levels it's reached too now ?

Yes Saudi has its own internal issues that are shocking as does the US and Russia etc etc etc etc etc even the UK

But to compare them all to ISIS

Just look at the images of what they are carrying out in Raqqa

Why are we bombing? The threat of terrorism or isis's internal treatment of its subjects? I'm sure we've been here before!!!

You're so adamant we should blow stuff up, but you don't know why.

Have said many times why we are bombing - to help reduce the ability of ISIS to mount serious terrorist attacks.
