So, what's going to happen now. Will the US halt air strikes in Iraq to save the life of the other

[Rich]

journalist that's threatened in that video, thus encouraging IS to take more western hostages.

Or do they carry on regardless, let him get beheadded to show that they will not be intimidated by Iraq.

The US are going to march into Iraq to flush these ****ers out, aren't they?

[Classic Jorge]

is another invasion.

They'll probably just arm the peshmerga to the teeth, as we know everyone is safer when they have more weapons.

[Rich]

effecting western interests/causing a threat at home.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

ISIS and then hand over the land back to the Iraqis?

[Berni]

You can't have the USA seen to be bending to the will of a bunch of ragged-arsed savages because they know how to use YouTube, ffs!

[Rich]

Increase the size of the British Empire. But proper bobbies on the streets of Bagdhad. That will soon rid us of these clowns.

[Berni]

state sitting slap-bang on their border.

[Classic Jorge]

But then again, I couldn't see the point of the original invasion that caused the vacuum filled by ISIS/IS/IZZLE anyway.

[Classic Jorge]

And obviously the isrealis too, you know how they get when they feel left out

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I had no idea. I thought it started before that.

[Berni]

Really needed to have a permanent military presence, but unfortunately they kowtowed to all the people demanding withdrawal. Silly.

[Berni]

threat from the Kurds imo.

[Classic Jorge]

[Classic Jorge]

whatever your opinion on Saddam, he was a stickler for that sort of thing.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

But I think you'll find all the cities they're currently sacking, not to mention all the hardware they're plundering, is in Iraq.

will f**ked it up. There's no doubt in my mind that the original plan was essentially neo-colonial imo. Unfortunately, the Yanqui are terribly mealy-mouthed and half-hearted when it comes to that sort of thing.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

ISIS is just the latest manifestation. If it wasn't this, it would be something else.

[Berni]

I recently re-listened to the last book. It's mostly total cobblers.

[Classic Jorge]

[Classic Jorge]

The chaps you mentioned are more localised, less organised, less tooled up, less pragmatic and less ambitious.

[Berni]

I'm sure the people of Iraq are terribly glad to have been the beneficiaries of the far-sighted thinking of the amorphous mass of halfwits we democracies allow to vote. :-(

[Classic Jorge]

They just stopped trying to follow the books in the end.

[Harry Balls]

The one wild card is that loon in power in Turkey.

[Classic Jorge]

As Colin "Colin" Powell has proven, nothing good can come out of a powerpoint presentation.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

They're Americans, they love a wee bit of war in a far off land.

I imagine they don't really give a f**k about 1 journalist. He will be a hero anyway. Probably has a flag outside his house.

[Luis Anaconda]

Not watched it yet but someone was telling me it diverges quite a bit

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Luis Anaconda]

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

plot issue. But basically, since there can't be much doubt the TV series is going to overtake the novels in terms of production, they will probably use that as an excuse to just go their own way and ignore the lazy old fat f**k.

Top Gun runs it close, but Top Gun's too competent to be really ****. Christopher Lambert couldn't even speak English, let alone act in it, ffs! :hehe: Top casting.

[Classic Jorge]

It's sort of an action film, sort of a horror and unintentionally a comedy.

Thank f**k for The Shpaniard

[Berni]

enjoy it for the historical flashbacks, the appalling script, the dreadful accents and all the beheadings. And Celia Imre.

It lost its way after the first one and became just ****. In the last one, Mario Van Peebles (brilliant name) turns up and they're all aliens or something.

Funnily enough, poor old Christoper Lambert never got much other work. :rubchin:

[Luis Anaconda]

[Classic Jorge]

Who are also inexplicably pointless

[Harry Balls]

[Classic Jorge]

Quality CV there, Christoffff

[Berni]

And they did at least explain the French accent by saying he'd been found by French missionaries, to be fair.

Jean-Claude Van Damme was the same. They usually had to spend the first five minutes of every film explaining his accent. He was usually Quebecois or Cajun or suffering a bizarre speech impediment or something. :hehe:

[7evens]

Seemed to me that their Militia were every bit as evil as Procol Harem, with the only suffering being heaped on the innocent civilians, as usual.
Some real barbaric footage that makes what goes on in Iraq look like a vicars tea part but I notice the media don't really want to focus much on the atrocities of sub saharan Africa :rubchin:

At this rate, you'll be responsible for Arsenal's 9-year trophy drought as well.
