I rather think he'd need 20 times that many, and to keep the UN busy fighting chicken pox, or something.

Will the UK be hitching rides in this venture?

Maybe if we just ignore the problem, it will just go away. /s

Thanks Eleutheria5.

"The capture and likely destruction of the 2,000-year-old Roman colonnades at Palmyra, Syria, by Islamic State constitutes a potential cultural crime on a gigantic scale," Dannatt wrote in the Daily Mail. "These majestic ruins represent thousands of years of human civilisation and there is now surely no doubting just how great a threat IS [ISIS - ed.] poses to civilization in the region and beyond."

Perhaps heartlessly, regarding ISIS' destruction of pre-Islamic remains, I say, 'that's too bad'.

Well, big boy, go for it !!!

We'll watch on the Tee Vee and you Brits send your troops, aircraft carriers, heavy units, etc. In fact, we'll sell you all the munitions you wanna buy.

The crimes against archaeology are nothing compared to the crimes against humanity. But, whatever it takes to get some people’s attention.....

OK, suppose an expeditionary force is assembled and landed in Arabia. Further suppose they kill people and break things to the point that ISIS says, “we give up”.

What then? How is Arabia to be governed, and by whom?

Question to former UK Army Chief: where will you get your troops for a ground war against ISIS? Perhaps you'd be better served cleaning up the Muslim mess in the UK first before you go to foreign lands?

So he wants British and American soldiers to die for the Iranian friends of his free traitor bosses in the City. He should pack up and go himself. Let Iran continue to fight with ISIS alone.

Syria is certainly not worth much. Iraqi oil fields could be seized to pay for operations. As a muzzie homeland, beyond the oil and antiquities, it’s not worth much either.

Introduce smallpox into Iraq’s and Syria’s Muslim areas. Send them all to Hell.

No religious faction in Iraq or Syria is pro-American.

"Dannatt wrote in the Daily Mail. 'These majestic ruins represent thousands of years of human civilisation...'"

"Thousands of years?" He exaggerates like a bad girl. Rome wasn't all that.

I’ll send a case of hair restorer for the Bald Ibis, but I’m thinking it’s about time for Arabs to start defending themselves from their bloodthirsty Brothers.

Is this the scion of the same Lord Dannett who was bagpiped ashore on June 6, 1944? Or blew a Fox call or something?
English royalty. No thanks.
