They also supply weapons and equipment to ISIS (usually part of those purchased from here in the UK), as well as assistance in the covert exporting of black market oil from lands currently under ISIS control. Saudi Arabia, actively supports and encourages ISIS in secret (one of those secrets that everyone knows but nobody mentions) whilst publicly producing a ...

The Saudi Arabian "justice" system, executes (beheading) more of its citizens than any other country and is a serial violator and abuser of human rights and civil liberties. Saudi Arabia arms, finances and supports ISIS in its terrorist activities in the Middle East and in Europe. Saudi Arabia is a dangerous and destabilizing regime in the region and in the world. The United Kingdom is a major supplier to Saudi Arabia with arms, munitions, weapon systems and aircraft being at the top of the list of exports. ...

 Over 50 hours of nonstop coverage is excessive. Since around 10pm last Friday night, BBC News 24 and Sky News (and some other news channels) have been reporting from Paris or Brussels (and with almost complete disregard for any other story) on the ISIS atrocity and events associated with or arising from it. I can understand why these events should be reported and I join with others in condemning, unreservedly, any acts of terrorism wherever they may occur. However, I shall require a great deal of convincing that it is necessary to have an almost continuous barrage of "breaking news", comment and looped video clips for over 50 hours and hundreds of thousand of repeated words, phrases and cliches filling the television screen. The media obsession with this is both unhealthy and un necessary and may even suggest that they have another hidden agenda.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jeremy-corbyn-says-the-media-should-have-covered-attacks-in-beirut-and-ankara-as-well-as-paris-a6736381.html The media should have covered Isis attacks in Lebanon and Turkey more prominently Lebanon after deadly Beirut blasts A bomb in Turkish capital   Yesterday, I posted a very similar story and I asked the same questions. There were a number of responses to the post in Guardian, Independent and even here of Facebook, which were in the same vein. These nasty, ignorant, pathetic "comments" actually suggested, or even stated, that the atrocity in Paris was the only story which should be reported because the bombings in Lebanon, Turkey and the continuing attacks in Syria and Gaza were  the victims own fault. I can tolerate being labeled by some as "stupid" or  "a worthless piece of Corbynista trash" or "scum like you" and other, even more colourful descriptions, but ...

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/30/syria-us-deployment-troops-obama-special-operations#comments   Obama orders US special forces to 'assist' fight against Isis in Syria White House press secretary Josh Earnest. In 1950, Truman sent "military advisers" to assist the French in their fight against Viet Minh forces. In the 1960's newly elected Kennedy sent more "advisers" to assist (prop up) the Saigon government in their fight against the Viet Cong.  Now, Obama sends US special forces into Syria to “Advise and assist” rebel armies in the northern Syria who are fighting Isis. This western generated mess becomes even more complex with the North FSA/Turkish/Kurdish/Isis conflict with the American advisers supporting 3 of these factions all fighting each other! Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. This time however, the United States is making a complete mess even more insoluble.

" That phrase sums it up in a nutshell and even right up to now, the US and its allies still have no idea what they are trying to do, or how to do it. The House of Commons may soon be asked (again) by the government to authorise British military involvement in this conflict. Any United Kingdom politician  voting in favour of authorising such intervention, no matter how limited, will be guilty of committing our service personnel to a civil war where there are numerous hostile combatants all fighting against each other and where ther...

Leaving aside the deaths of these two Isis terrorists, there is a more fundamental issue at stake. The execution was of two British nationals (who may or may not have been planning something) in Syria, a country who we are not at war with. The House of Commons had rejected British military involvement in Syria. (Notwithstanding this, Cameron has within the last few mo...

What Corbyn actually said was:  "Yes they (ISIS) are brutal, yes some of what they have done is quite appalling. Likewise, what the Americans did in Fallujah and other places is appalling". He is absolutely right,what happened in Fallujah was appalling and ISIS are brutal. Why the media should be so aroused by someone speaking the truth has more to do with their hypocrisy in reporting "news"designed to smear Corbyn (again) than with any sense, however misguide...

Chaos. Kurds from Turkey and Syria pull down border fences The Kurds are fighting against ISIS and the Turks. Turkey is fighting against ISIS and the Kurds. ISIS is fighting against the Turks and the Kurds. All are fighting against Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian Government.The Americans (closely followed by Cameron) are fighting against ISIS in support of the Syrian government and therefore must be fighting against the Turks and the Kurds. ("My enemy's enemy is my friend" and all that tosh) Is it really possible to have 4 (plus Cameron) different sides in one war all fighting against each other?
