Sorry but that link doesn't say we were funding and arming terrorists, but you knew that anyway.

ach jesus get over yourself! It's what 6 planes and a few bombs.
Plus 20 Tomahawks at £1m a pop. National security is however more important than everything else sadly.
Yup it doesn't but funnily enough anyone from the uk who joins them gets branded a terrorist.

Please, like any politician really cares about that.
£1million to knock a guy with an AK off his bike?.
Could put boots on the ground and risk the lives of many British servicemen instead. Cost wise, most likely much more than £1m a pop.
No I hope they dont! No need to risk the armed forces.
Just thinking there must be a cheaper bomb.
Do you and moon just walk around looking mad all the time? Because you sure do moan a lot.
Who cares it's a few million pound! Give it to the NHS and it will just get wasted like many other millions.
You're seriously trying to claim that Islamic State are merely the 'Syrian opposition'? It's not that hard to understand is it? That the Syrian opposition is made up of a number of different groups including Islamic State.
You misunderstand me, I wasn't being sarcastic - national security is more important than anything else.
How did you get that from my post ?
Because the link you posted mentions funding for the Syrian opposition.
Yes i was pointing out the hypocrisy of our government.
When the government funds them and gives them weapons they are good guys but if someone from the uk goes to join them they get branded terrorists.
It sounds crazy, but £1m is peanuts really.
The marginal "Nth of a kind" construction cost for the German V2 was $13,000 (1940's dollars of the day, how that translates to modern money I do not know but I would be surprised if a similar missile would cost 100 times as much today!)
The tomahawk is a very old missile of which huge numbers have been made!
A Million (Actually, what, $1,500,000) a pop actually seems rather expensive!
I think our US friends are screwing us over again!

You believe theres an end game? You honestly think Cameron thought beyond send the RAF in, drop some bombs, bask in the approval ratings boost and oh, do you know theres an election coming up next year?
