Re: Was Cameron Right In Sending Drones To Kill 2 British Jihadis?
The drones in question are quite big, 36 ft long 65 ft wingspan, not easy to hide: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genera...cs_MQ-9_Reaper

They don't hide , they have the ability to just poodle around at up to 50.000 ft for up to 17 hours totally silent and invisible to enemy on the ground, monitoring radio transmissions and surveying the area below. Hope you have got your clean underpants on Jehadi John, your next.

They don't have to big like the military ones. For a couple of hundred quid, you can buy a small one. And they can carry 'things'.
If you have seen that Amazon advert.. Just use your imagination.

We have proof of their guilt too if anyone wants to look on the internet for what these young men were saying they intended to do. They were not innocents at all..
And I agree they pronounce people guilty with no trial and no mercy too.
I can't celebrate anyone's death but I can see why we have to do it.

From today's Daily Mail Editorial:"What, precisely, are our War aims? Have our depleted Armed Forces the means to achieve them? What is our exit strategy? And since both sides include terrorists who are the West's most savage enemies, which should we back?
If Ministers can't give satisfactory answers to every one of these, they should keep well out."
Not often I agree with the Daily Mail!

I don't see his ambitions extending to world domination or executing terrorist attacks in Europe and the rest of the world.
Isis are totally different and their eventual aims are global.
The irony is .. the whole world is pondering and dickering over how best to fight a war on his soil (and oust him if they can)... which of course, is the democratic way to go about it.
