some bloke phoned in to LBC and was saying we should have gone there, arrested her and try to rehabilitate her.

That's cos she was a blonde haired blue eyed woman who obviously can't be evil.

Anyone who tried to arrest her would be dead.

A terrorist is a terrorist regardless of what they look like.

It would have been funny if wasn't so serious.

She wanted to been seen as a soldier she got to die as one. Good riddance. Drones may well be the nuclear alternative for terrorists, making sure they just don't bother, however we do need to keep an eye on them.

Show me that proof. Plenty is not a mathematical function. Can you imagine a requirement: 'give the engine plenty of fuel'.

Nice jibe on the Latin, are you published? I am, perhaps we could exchange papers, mine's on Horace odes 3.14.

Apologies. I just assumed you were uneducated from your poor grasp of grammar. Plenty is a pronoun in the context used. It could stand for either countable countable nouns.

You mean like the requirements plenty of us get from business users until we nail them down?

Not sure why NLyUK brought up Latin may have well have brought up philosophy.

Plenty defines the number at least >0, so it is a false dichotomy. 'Plenty' in this context is a pronoun, not a noun, and is correct and sufficient to define a false dichotomy.

Regrettably, you are displaying a lack of education. It is a pity nobody took the trouble to teach you some Latin.

To be fair, I thought he was doing OK, for an ape...you could maybe chuck him a banana ffs...

[northernladyuk]

Not necessarily, plenty /= most or a majority, just that there is enough to satisfy a need, be it physical or opinion. Both guilty of using a noun where a comparative adjective would be more appropriate.

What a pity it took so long...

So if plenty do and plenty don't, it is a false dichotomy.

And plenty don't.

[SueEllen]

Sounds like a false dichotomy. Plenty of people reject the mad religious and/or political cults they are raised in.

And plenty don't.

Jesus wept, imagine how the kids dad feels now.

The silver lining in all this is that all these twunt jihadis who've died for their "cause", have now pretty much had that "cause" snuffed out. Weren't they all holed up in the hospital in Raqqa the last time I looked, no doubt with human shields and demanding safe passage out.

That will be Nigel Farage in a year's time with his khaki shirt and gun, demanding the hardest of Brexits.

The 12-year-old boy, now named Hamza, is believed to have been forced to execute prisoners during his time there after being brainwashed by jihadis. A nine-minute ISIS video issued last year appeared to show the boy executing a captured prisoner in a firing squad.

Oddly I was reading an old article about her before I heard an hour later she was no more.

She had the idea that she was going to bring all her kids up to be jihadists. The boys, when adults, like their fathers were expected to give their lives for the cause.

So it's a case of is it better that he died now, innocent, or later, guilty of something.

The young hell spawn was probably completely brainwashed, and would have been a complete liability and danger in years to come.

But don't blame the drone strike, blame the deranged mother.
