Kong Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm pleased the UK is contributing to combating the IS.But I'm dismayed at this headline on the BBC news front page:'RAF jets bomb militants' pickup truck'.Will that help stem the advancing tide of the IS?

NormanH Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I feel sorry for the Armed Forces who have no clear target and are operating in a conflict which is very uncertain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kong Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 I agree. But the BBC shouldn't have reported this at all. They should have just reported a sortie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the one, a plane (or drone?) targets a group with a pickup truck and rocket launcher, voice over says something like 'Mission accomplished, zero casulties' What?? are you mad ???
