First the Planes, Next the Soldiers - Syrian Crisis

Telegraph - Live Blog: Reports " UK Syria air strikes: Britain could send soldiers into Syria after 'successful' bombing raid on Isil oilfield...British fighter jets 'successful' in attacking Islamic State oilfield in eastern Syria, while Labour's shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn faces death threats after historic speech to MPs  "

Lets Get Real:

Once you start with planes to attack Daesh the next level is to bring troops in theatre to take and hold ground give up by Daesh.   It can be assumed that that the SAS is is Country and in supporting the Free Syrian Army with the help of the US Special Forces.   The Western government are speaking double speak, of course we have boots on the ground, you can call what ever you like, they are still UK and US soldiers on the ground.    This blog has already discounted that there are seventy thousand FSA soldiers on the ground waiting to attack Daesh, if there is that number they are fighting Assad, getting a ceasefire between Assad/Russia and the FSA so they could fight Daesh is a nice dream, but still a dream.   Thus in time both the US, UK and France will have to send in combat troops, its not a great thought but its the only one that is real 

Murders in California - Terror or Work Related ?

Daily Mail: Reports " Killer couple's links to international terror: US-born gunman was 'in touch with known terror suspects and radicalized online' after 'wooing his Pakistani wife on devout Muslim pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia'.....President Obama said in a statement from the Oval Office it is possible the massacre in San Bernardino was related to terrorism, but it's also possible it was workplace-related  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the murders are still being looked at, as stated above the killings could be either terrorism, work related or both, it will take time for the FBI to go through the investigation.   It looks like a terrorist attack, but then the US has a gun culture, as noted in this blog, it opposes the free gun culture, but of course that is a European view, after Paris are we really saying that Europe is better!  This blog did not speculate last night while the Police were searching for a  third killer, it finds if you speculate it does not help and might be wrong. Thus people will just have to wait to see what information the FBI find, and then review and see what steps should be taken to prevent another such attack. 

Cameron on Syrian Strikes - Syrian Crisis

BBC News: Reports " The mission to target so-called Islamic State militants in Syria could take some time and will require persistence, PM David Cameron has said. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the UK is now fighting Daesh in Iraq and Syria, the problem is that air strikes alone will not win this WAR, the Western Allies needs the Free Syrian Army and its allies to turn its attention on Daesh, the problem of Assad can wait for the future.   The West also needs the Russians to hit Daesh, thus far they are hitting the moderate Syrian rebels, Moscow must turn its fire on Daesh, it can argued that for the long term the Daesh threat is a great threat to Russia, the downing of a Russian plane over Egypt should show the Russian were the real threat comes from.   The question is will the West, Russia, the Free Syrian Army work together, or are they fighting across each other.
