It's good news as there are Arab countries now in the mix.. It's a shame they didn't think to initiate it themselves as their borders become more and more threatened by the terrorist army.
Just need Turkey to join now to help prevent these cowardly murdering islamic swine from escaping back to Europe.
Well done Obama..At last!

I bet ISIS itself this morning when the Tomahawk's arrived

The yanks should have given the Ukrainians some

I hope we join in. This outfit needs to be destroyed asap

[Dedworth]

Good news I hope there's plenty of direct hits on the "British Muslim" scum who have travelled there

[bigmarco]

Excellent news and great to see the Arabs involved - particularly the Saudis.

[Dedworth]

The filth who went out there won't be feeling so cocky now

I just hope this hasn't happened too early and it discourages the rest of them from going.

I would like to see tough measures put in place for anyone supporting these monsters in this country.

Yep, absolutely essential.
The news reports indicate 5 Arab states involved.

Wonder if they'll provide boots on the ground

[imagine]

God made one big mistake when he made this wonderful amazing world and everything around it.

He put man here.
And man is man, whether he be of any culture or religion, any time past present and future, we all behave and have behaved just the same way. We, as man, don't deserve what we have. We all just seem to be bent on destroying all that is good, and for what? Power ,,, greed ,,, and differences.

True, but some men are Kinder than others, thank God!

[grahamw48]

Oh those poor muslim people .

What about their human rights ?

[imagine]

Who caused it all in the first place? I think British enforcing imperialism.
Why did they revert back to religion, when they once embraced western world?

I say deport them to Syria so that they can be targeted with daisy cutters & Tomahawk missiles with their mates.
Might sound harsh but I really really mean it.
I really hope that their pals in Mindanao join their extremists predecessors that thought it a good idea to support ISIS and whom now have been splattered and deemed safe not to return.

Remember, the battle's not won yet!

They'll have special forces in doing the targeting.

Hmm ... ... will it ever be ... I wonder?

[Dedworth]

I think we have a strong moral obligation to join with the US in bombing this lot back into the stone age - lots of them come from here and we are rapidly losing credibility with the yanks over our inability to crack down on extremists as well as giving them asylum and passports.

We must have hunter killers lurking around the area that can loose off some submarine launched cruise missiles for starters

Most of our Navy is currently in the Med, all 3 ships and one sub

Still the best forces in the world.
We tend not to shoot our own as much

[KeithD]

That's because we don't have much of our own left to shoot

Long gone are the WW2 days when we had a fleet of over 5,000 RN vessels.

Well known saying amongst the troops during WW2
When the Germans send bombers over the Brits duck
When the Brits send bombers over the Germans duck
When the Yanks send bombers over everyone ducks

Life was so much easier back then. Everything was just black and white
