Oh wow, Muslim Council of Wales are denouncing this move as well. In other words, what he's doing in Syria is absolutely fine and hasn't done anything to the UK...
What he was doing in Syria was not fine, but whatever he was doing he was not doing it here and it's here where out jurisdiction begins and ends. He was not an enemy combatant as this country is not at war with ISIS, so the Muslim Council of Wales, and all of us for that matter, need to know on what basis this decision was made.
Cameron consulted the Solicitor General Robert Buckland, Tory MP for South Swindon on the legality of the attack and was told it was tickety-boo, it'll be interesting to find out what the legal justification was.

The only chair Tony Blair should be sat in is the one in the dock at The Hague.
Well said!

Not here.
It is in Saudi Arabia, there were 26 beheadings in Saudi in 2011.

I hope we send some more drones in tomorrow. And the day after.
Can they carry napalm? That would be better ...

Did we bomb Saudi Arabia?

The thing is we 'spotted' where he was, not perhaps causing us in the UK direct danger but he was actively encouraging others and if we'd left him alone he could have disappered and popped up on our centre circle one day.
He made his choice, they have no rules, we didn't really have an option.

You make some fair points but it is being framed as a preventive attack, as for not being enemy combatants they can't be because they belong to a terrorist organisation and western governments always class those as criminal organisations I am not really fussed to be honest the surviving ones will know now that this no game it's a well known policy (taken off the Isralies and copied by the Americans in Afghanistan) it tends to keep your enemies on their collective toes never knowing when the next missile will landWhat he was doing in Syria was not fine, but whatever he was doing he was not doing it here and it's here where out jurisdiction begins and ends.
