British jihadists killed in RAF drone strike

[The perfect fumble]

To clarify the quote, for the benefit of the cerebrally challenged on here, the events for which this pair had been allegedly plotting were the VE day in May, Armed Forces day in June and VJ day commemorations in mid-August. All of which occurred BEFORE the drone strike. Now unless that pair of cunts had a Delorean fitted out with a flux capacitor, I fail to see how the threat was in any way "imminent"

I have no idea what motivates Cameron, not the slightest, There is no Cameronism as there was/is for Thatcherism or Blairism. Maybe he did think there was an imminent threat to the UK from these guys, maybe he's not telling us on national security grounds, but if he thought he could sit down and that would be it, his political instincts have deserted him.

The Sun and the Express have fallen in to line banging the war drum and told us we shouldn't think too deeply about this, but when even the Mail and the Times are asking questions about killing British citizens thousands of miles away, for plotting to do things in the past that subsequently didn't happen, shouldn't all of us be asking some basic questions about what's going on here?

I do care if it's now OK for us to kill people abroad because we want to, that's all, beginning, middle and end.

And so should you, because if you don't, then what distinguishes us from those bastards who killed Rigby?

We hold ourselves to a higher standard, don't we?

What really pisses me off is so many on here just want to bomb and kill and destroy because they think our enemy are animals and we should put them down, there's just so much rage dripping from so many posts, that way lies endless war and misery. I'm no pacifist, but if we kill there has to be a reason, there has to be a purpose to it.

Of course there's a reason.
joining a terrorist organisation, killing innocent people, chopping heads off, burning people alive, raping young girls, organising terror plots against our home land etc... Is a pretty good reason to send him a drone. I don't think we blew him up because he hasn't payed his TV licience.

So, let me get this straight. ISIS are recording sky tv from china? Presumably to pirate the stuff on sky movies. Sick bastards

Nope, they're on Virgin. Thought I'd strike first as I'm sure the joke was imminent.

Do you agree that it is perfectly possible to carry out actions remotely with no limit on distance?

Do you agree that it is perfectly possible to direct actions of others remotely with no limit on distance?

for ISIS? Of course not

for ISIS? Of course it is, so intercept the communication and use it to arrest our homegrown, who are an obvious imminent threat

The idea that a jihadist in Rusholme has packed his bombs away now these two have been killed is ridiculous, we have just made it harder to find our homegrown to give Cameron a boost in the polls

 

[Lancet Fluke]

I can imagine such a scenario. Is that why we're not being told?

It might be or if might not be. You made an assertion that it was done legally so there is no reason why they can't tell us. My point is that you just don't know that for sure.

I find it strange how the lefties who are wringing their hands are the ones who started the illegal war in Iraq that started this whole chain of events. They seem to care more about the perpetrators rather than the victims of violence.
If you're in Syria with ISIS you are guilty by association.

So he did it to boost his poll ratings? Classic

dunno, that's a best guess. You tell me why he did do it because you sure haven't come up with a convincing explanation yet

If that's the reason then why are we not being told? Can't see any moles or spys or secret intel being exposed if these were the reasons.

That's your best guess? Really? Wow
