Isn't it about time Dave got off the beach and showed some leadership? IS fanatics are advancing killing innocent civilians in the most barbaric way yet what do we hear from Dave - nothing! Obama isn't much better, out there playing golf and ordering a few fighter aircraft to bomb the IS. At a worrying time in the Middle east when there seems to be crisis after crisis occuring we seem to have some of the weakest indecisive political leaders imaginable just when we need the opposite.
Much of this stems from Bush & Blair's Iraqi adventures that cost so many lives and for what? They have got a lot to answer for.

Simmonds is on record saying he resigned because he couldn't get his nose close enough to the expenses trough.

What makes you think it is our job to sort it out?

Previous incursions into Iraq and Afghanistan, time has proved to be a huge success for the UK, all them livers lost for what exactly?

If Isis ever threaten these shores then I am all for us getting involved but for far to long we have played world policeman. It there is something going on in Iraq/Syria which needs sorting out then let someone else step up.

We have done our bit well over and above the call.....

The Finns or Norwegians never get involved in this sort of B.S and they don't seem too badly off without it, high time the U.K stopped being Uncle Sam's punk.

It seems to me that Saudi Arabia who support Sunni extremists (on the tacit agreement that they don't operate in Saudi Arabia) and are supposedly friends of the US, seem to do nothing. They buy enormous amounts of military hardware from the US, have a trained army yet we never hear of them actually fighting extremists such as IS. Let's not forget the fact that most of the 9/11 hi-jackers were Saudi and Bin Laden himself was a Saudi. Very strange, it looks as though they're playing both sides. It's time the US woke up and asked more from the Saudi's if their relationship is to continue.

Glad I'm not a PM. I'm torn on this, between 'none of our business' and 'why aren't we doing everything humanly possible to blast IS off the face of the earth'.

Sounds like if Boris was PM we'd be bombing them

Lets be careful out there !

Are we seeing the effect of unseen forces at work in the Middle East?

How is it that a well equipped Iraqi military, courtesy of the USA, is apparently in full flight from a rag-tag assortment of Islamic barbarians?

Why are other militarily well equipped Middle East nations unwilling, or unable to stop these barbaric terrorists in their tracks?

Why is it that so many Middle East nations who are so willing to condemn Israel, for seriously provoked 'violence' against terrorists, remain so quiet when Islamic terrorists are on the open rampage killing anyone as only the blood thirsty and apparently demonic-crazed are capable of?

Let us not forget that it isn't long ago when Cameron was attempting to persuade Parliament that Britain should provide military aid to the terrorists fighting President Assad's forces in Syria, the very same terrorists that are currently on a blood-letting rampage across much of the Middle East.

Does this article http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/blog/?p=24022 offer any insight into what may be really going on?

Apparently there's a widespread belief in Lebanon that IS is the creation of the Americans. Interesting theory.

I can't see it myself. Why would the US create IS, and how on earth would they control it?

Apparently some very powerful people have a lot to gain from instability and conflict.
