    elth's article is spot on.

    Although with the Russians now rolling them back and with other developments, you've got to imagine that ISIS is going to lose a lot of its territory over the next few weeks.

    The Kurds have had a notable success against them in the previous few days, which they celebrated by burning Iraqi Sunnis out of their houses. Lads...

    Load of shite. "Middle Eastern Wars" are no more (or less, for that matter) in Europe than they were after Madrid or London. Terrorists are just doing what terrorists do. France has a problem due to it's history, demographic and social particulars; it's situation is unique. That's not to say that it won't happen here (or elsewhere in Europe) at some point. We all know it definitely will. But then we've known that for more than a decade. Friday night doesn't change anything on that score.

    Jord.

    By the way why don't the bombers just raze their cities to the ground? There are no civilians there, just monsters that hold similar ideals. Fucking take them all out. Men, women and children.

    Isn't Raqqa a mixture of both civilians and militants?

    I follow the 'Raqqa is being slaughtered silently' twitter page and constantly see posts about civilians being killed in air strikes. Apparently 30 strikes hit over the space of a few hours this evening.

    They mix with civilians. That's why this kind of response is rough. Its a very visible response, though. I can't imagine the French government getting applause for "Guys, we're not doing this. Too many eggs to break and people to piss off." A covert response just gets seen as weak..

    Under IS rule yes. There can't be many left now as they're all in Europe anyway. 24 hours, leave or you will be crushed. Then carpet bomb every inch of IS territory.

    That I can't tell the difference any more speaks volumes about how incredibly boring you are on these topics.

    Hypothetical - say IS do get fucked off the face of the earth.

    What happens then? Assad regains control? What about the warring sub-groups? The Kurds?

    Then the media and Facebook rejoices that TERROR is over and we are all safe, just like after Hussein and Bin Laden were killed.

    Then some other group blows up something and it starts again.

    The Kurds will presumably secure regional autonomy for themselves (which the Americans oppose because Turkey), but it's worth remembering that half of what ISIS 'control' in Syria is shitty desert. It would be relatively easy for whatever government emerges to keep all of that reasonably quiet once they've fucked off.

    Giving them a day to leave is a bit counter-productive don't you think?

    NCIS used that as a plot years ago. Terrorist wankers were using transactions in a SimCity type game to communicate times and locations, as I remember.

    They've only gone and taken the guy on the run alive.

    Belgian police arrest Paris suspect - report

    Belgian broadcaster RTL reports that police have arrested Salah Abdeslam, suspected of being involved in the Paris attacks, in the Belgian suburb of Molenbeek. Abdeslam was the subject of the French police wanted order. The RTL report has not yet been confirmed.

    His brother was named by French police as a bomber who carried out a suicide attack on one of the locations targeted on Friday night.

    Abdeslam Salah Photograph: DSK/AFP/Getty ImagesAccording to multiple reports, police carried out a raid in Molenbeek this morning and closed several roads.

    Witnesses at the scene described hearing explosions followed by orders given by police through a loudspeaker.

    One man was apparently then ordered to come to the window with his hands raised.

    Salah is alleged to have rented the black Volkswagen Polo used by the group that attacked the Bataclan concert hall.

    He is said to have been born and lived in Belgium, although French police have described him as a French national.

    In the hours after the attacks, French police stopped Abdeslam and two other men close to the border with Belgium, but allowed them to go on their way because their names were not at that stage on any wanted list.

    Ibrahim Abdeslam, the brother of on-the-run attacker Salah, was identified by prosecutors as the man who rented a Seat vehicle used in the attacks.

    He carried out the suicide attack at the Comptoir Voltaire cafe. Ibrahim, 31, was a French national based in Belgium.

They just think putting up with Saudi Arabia's support for nutjobbery is worth the cost. Who else can "the West" side with in the Middle East? Iraq's a failed state, Iran's spent 30 years preaching Death to America, Syria is Israel's main enemy, Jordan's got all the political clout of Belgium and the Gulf States are minnows. They prop up Saudi Arabia because there's nobody else.
