DoD officials now saying that they do, in fact have possible evidence that Syria was prepping for another chemical attack. Maybe. It sure looked like it. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/27/world/middleeast/syria-chemical-attack-trump.html

Missionary Positron posted:France is ‘hunting down its citizens who joined Isis’ without trial in Iraq The civilian judiciary has no place in any military chain of command. While the ICRC advisory disagrees, most countries deem those who are active fighting members of terrorist organizations legitimate combatants, who have the right to kill and be killed. There's no news here.

drat, I wish our Government had the spine to do that. I remember reading somewhere that the three countries in the world with the most UN rulings against them were Israel, Russia and...France. Guess when the gloves come off the French don't gently caress about. Greenpeace found that out.

Bernard McFacknutah posted:drat, I wish our Government had the spine to do that. I remember reading somewhere that the three countries in the world with the most UN rulings against them were Israel, Russia and...France. We do do that. Kinda. The long and short of it is that the Israeli Supreme Court (which is one of the most liberal and leftist courts in the entire world up till the past few years) wrote a pretty brilliant decision in 2006 concerning distinction in wartime. The core of the problem is that you have three categories of legitimate targets: privileged combatants (soldiers in uniform), unprivileged combatants (spies, mercenaries), and civilians taking a direct part in hostilities, and no one was really sure where to classify terrorists - International Humanitarian Law is unclear on the matter. Fortunately, the Israeli Supreme Court basically came up with a principle of renunciation, and it basically says that if you're an avowed member of a terrorist organization with whom we have an armed conflict, you're an unprivileged combatant and we can kill you. Generally speaking, the United States abides by this principle, though typically we are more choosy about our targets. In other words, Abu Hajaar isn't going to be the target of a drone strike, but we're quite happy to go after folks like Zarqawi or al-Shishani, as well as middle management in general. The ICRC, predictably, threw a shitfit about the decision and said that members of terrorist organizations are actually civilians and aren't legitimate targets unless they're literally firing a Kalashnikov on a literal battlefield. Happily, no one important listens to them. The Iron Rose fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Jun 27, 2017 |

I thought there was a news story last year about the SAS specifically targeting British Nationals turned terrorist? I'd check but I'm on my phone.

I seem to remember reading another article from the Daily Mail that was just loving ridiculous and made the SAS/SBS sound like a gang of supermen no-scoping people from 1000m and it just sounded like tosh. I'm sure the Government wouldn't think twice about killing a UK national under the right circumstances but I can't see them going out and deliberately hunting them. There were some serious legal challenges to the UK doing it in Afghanistan I think.

By the way, on the fake news front, Fahrenthold found A Thing. Donnie has been on the covers of TIME magazine a lot. Like a lot a lot. But it wasn't enough, so he made a completely fake TIME magazine cover of himself and put it on the walls of at some of his golf courses. https://twitter.com/Fahrenthold/status/879764148007182338 quote:The framed copy of Time Magazine was hung up in at least four of President Trump’s golf clubs, from South Florida to Scotland. Filling the entire cover was a photo of Donald Trump. Literal fake news.

"See, McConnell pushed the vote on the bill off. If he doesn't feel like voting on this bill right now, what kind of confidence does he have in the text of the bill?" *Proceeds to vote Yes when given 10% of the money requested to fight the opioid crisis*

We should go by the parent rule where if you don't want your kids to do something, start talking about how cool it is. Dems should start a campaign of forgiveness and national unity around our commander in chief, and one week later every horsefucking wannabe coal miner from West Virginia to Oklahoma will be ready to admit what a piece of poo poo he is.
