NOT
We are bragging on the bbc news that a tornado has took out a 4X4 with a few IS fighters in it. WOW I bet they are quaking in their boots. Have our leaders not learned anything from Iraq and Afghanistan? The enemy send in a suicide bomber cost £200 if that and usually they take out high value targets or scoring massive proganda especially when the Suicide bomber takes out a high ranking officer. We send in high tech jets and helicopters costing millions, flying them from Cyprus to Iraq and take out a worthless 4X4 with a few low ranking soldiers.
I guess I already know who will win this war

The good money is on the side that can afford to send in high tech jets and helicopters costing millions, flying them from Cyprus to Iraq and take out a worthless 4X4 with a few low ranking soldiers.
Absolutely ridiculous to suggest otherwise considering the weapons we have at our disposal and the countries in the region that are supporting the fight against IS.
The weaponry is there to be used, they're not exhibition pieces but yeah, I suppose they could have ignored those guys and left them to get on with their murderous business.
Would that have pleased you more?
It does seem a disproportionate use of resources by each side.
But if we collectively have the money to do it, why not?
The key issue right now is to stop the ISIS advances, but pushing them back will take a while to organise. I say ISIS because they hate that, they want us to call them by the other name. So I won't and the BBC and PM should stop, too.
ISIS Terrorists, IMET (Islamic Middle East Terrorists) or just IT (Islamic Terrorists) would be my preferred choice of name for them, or anything they dislike really.
Clearly they don't like being hit from the sky, see vid in link.

And also they know that they are vulnerable out in the open so many are going to be scared shitless to go out.
Don't hold your breath, the Turks seem more interested in supressing Kurds at the moment
There is plenty of bombs and bullets for all of ISIS. Turning them into bloody puddles in the sand is to be applauded, not decried.
But for the time being when we don't have troops on the ground and if you're flying over looking for targets and you see a heavy machine gun on the back of a truck it is a good move to take it out.
It sends out a message to ISIS which makes them go scurrying away into their little holes undoubtedly saving many lives, keep flying taking out the odd target which will slow or prevent their advance.
That's bollocks. They are already an army that has encountered heavy fire and possibly chemical attack for ages. The fact that the off air to ground missile takes out a 4x4 is hardly going to make them pack up and go home. The idea of that is daft.
IS have around 30,000 fighters scattered over an area greater than the size of the UK so this is the sort of attack that is going to be used War will not be won from the air but for the moment this is what is going to happen
Can't we just refer to them as Scummy Horrendous Islamic Terrorists (SHIT)?
It's not just one 4x4, it's the threat that the planes have towards any potential target that helps to prevent ISIS operating like they would normally do.
What do you want the planes to do when they spot a target?
I never said they would pack up and go home did I?
i want the russians to show up and do a stannis, no stannis no party
Sadly there won't be any winners just thousands of innocents losing their lives on both sides.
When the OP said 'little holes' I doubt that meant home and i don't think you do either so why come out with that?
