Does anyone know (apart from feeding the defence industry) why the govt is so keen to bomb Syria? Are there not enough people doing this already?

I guess principally for good feeling... it's not about it serving much practical purpose as it is about demonstrating unity?

The goal is to topple Assad and invade Iran.

Yes, let's bomb people to make us feel good. What asinine tulip.

It's the next step before we put boots on the ground (which everyone's swearing blind we won't do). We will. You heard it here first folks.

Well, one after the other really, but I don't think there's a preference.

Nope. Heard it already, and certain it will happen.

Just a conspiracy theory joke is all.

Although the question wasn't addressed to me, I just thought I'd entertain you... well, actually entertain myself as I watch people squirm :-)

He's been banned, but before he went he suggested to me that rather than helping The Clangers actually made things more difficult.
