Cut off the snakes head or take it's source of food away. The UAE are helping Jordan http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-31252341 How IS are funded: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-30315092 Let's hope IS are really being hit hard right now and on-going.
I wonder whether this was connected to recent events in Syria: Afghanistan drone strike 'kills IS commander Abdul Rauf' http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-31290147
With reference to the retaliatory strikes against IS after the horrific murder of one of their pilots, yes.
I think what we are seeing from Jordan is a knee jerk reaction to one of their own being so brutally and humiliatingly killed. Lets hope they continue, it may encourage other Muslim Nations to get more deeply involved in counteracting terrorism.
I think mainly because they don't involve the usual broad sweeping statements that generally get peoples backs up.
Timmers, Stu... What Jordan and the UAE (two Muslim countries) are doing is trying to destroy the horror that is "IS" and for that both of them should be praised very highly. There is so little praise in the media and on forums like this for their actions.
Agreed, you'd think this would be all over the news but unfortunately it not negative so I dare say it'll get little air time. Wonder if the Daily Mail will pick up on it? lol.
King Abdullah's mother, Princess Muna, was born in Chelmondiston, Suffolk, better known as Pin Mill, so he's One of Us (speaking as a Suffolk boy and a messer-about-in-boats...)
President Barack Obama asks Congress to formally authorise military force against IS. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-31425384
