Yes they are brutal, yes some of what they have done is quite appalling, likewise what the Americans did in Fallujah and other places is appalling."

Was he to say what the Americans did wasn't appallling?

It's just spin

So they are as bad as each other?


Who (if you were given a choice) would you prefer to be captured by, the US army or ISIS?

The US army of course. But that doesn't alter the fact that thousands (probably millions actually) have died to keep rich white guys in America rich.

Their reasons and methodology may be different but the end result is the same: innocent people die.

The needs of the many outweighs the needs of the few.

So if you'd rather be captured by the US it kinda dispels the idea that they and ISIL/ISIS are as bad as each other.

I see. There's two different kinds of killing. The nice, American kind where they drop bombs on people's weddings and schools killing people and leaving scores more with serious disabilities and burns.

Then there's the bad kind which is carried out by anyone who isn't America or it's bitch, Britain.

America doesn’t execute prisoners...

Rather depends on whether you view killing someone, as opposed to the specific method chosen, as unacceptable.

My point is Dan, why did he feel the need to mention the Yanks at all, and Fallujah in particular?

He wasn't asked about either, he just wanted to balance things out. A bit like talking of the Holocaust and saying that Israelies are bad too.
 
I see there is some nice rag-heid chap planning to come back to Britain to carry out relentless beheadings.

Why not just shoot the **** and hey presto, that's one less bampot.
