tomcatwarne: The first air strikes were completed this morning.
ISIS should be paying us for all this PR work and its boundless supply of A grade burning martyr. Things couldn't go more perfectly for them if they dressed up in British military uniforms and bombed themselves.

I think it is time the Cypriot government to tell UK, It is about time you relinquish the 2 military bases on Cyprus. The land of the 2 bases, belongs to Cypriots NOT to UK.

Don't come crying in a year or two when we're in the mega-post-Iraq situation, billions the poorer, and looking back fondly at these peaceful and jovial times when muslims could still be trusted.

tomcatwarne: What a good idea.
I would have sworn that they want to be killed. It's almost as if they want to experience suicide by bomb, tho I can't imagine ISIS would be into anything like that.

Wrong, they are sovereign base areas. They belong to the crown and have their own police force.

Akrotiri and Dhekelia (Greek: ????t??? ?a? ?e???e?a, Akrotiri kai Dekeleia; Turkish: Agrotur ve Dikelya), officially the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, is a British Overseas Territory on the island of Cyprus.
The Areas, which include bases and other land, were retained by the British, under the 1960 treaty of independence, agreed and signed by the United Kingdom, Greece, Turkey and representatives from the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities, which granted independence to the Crown colony of Cyprus. The territory serves an important role as a station for Signals Intelligence and provides a vital strategic part of the United Kingdom communications gathering and monitoring network in the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
The territory comprises two Areas. One is Akrotiri (Greek: ????t??? ; Turkish: Agrotur), or the Western Sovereign Base Area (WSBA), which includes two main bases at RAF Akrotiri and Episkopi Cantonment, plus all of Akrotiri Village's district (including Limassol Salt Lake) and parts of eleven other village districts.
The other Area is Dhekelia Cantonment (?e???e?a ; Dikelya), or the Eastern Sovereign Base Area (ESBA), which includes a base at Ayios Nikolaos plus parts of twelve village districts.
In other words blackmailed the Cypriot for their idepedence.

small report I saw that Corbyn's supporters are looking to oust the Labour voters who supported Cameron .Cameron not wanting to put the vote to parliament unless he won looks shameful . Battles within battles by the looks with an eye on the voter . At least RAF is bombing oil installations and I hope they flow is stopped without toooooooo much damage as there is bound to be a rebuilding program post war , if ever there is a time , our troops drew the short straw last time in Afganistan losing a number . You bomb it , you fix it .
