"Blitz ‘em to hell " - Nazism is alive-and-well in Britain

This is what the liberal Guardian is saying in more measured, civilised manner.

Blitz ‘em to hell

Our boys await order to destroy IS in Syria

the Sun,

6 September, 2015

THE Sun today lays out the military options open to David Cameron for air strikes on Syria to ease the migrant crisis.

It comes after ex-top brass last night urged the PM to set a date for action.

Our Boys and Girls could strike a death blow to the heart of IS and relieve pressure on innocent civilians, if given the go-ahead by MPs.

Former head of the British Army Sir Mike Jackson was the first of many respected military figures to call for an extension of bombing into Syria to smash the terror state.

He said: “There is no logic in taking military action against IS in Iraq and not against it in Syria.

“They don’t recognise the border, so there’s no logic in it.

“If we are to do them real damage we have got to do better than we have been doing.

“It’s complicated but Syria really is the problem here.

“If you want to solve the migrant crisis then you have to solve Syria.”

Iraq war legend Colonel Tim Collins echoed Sir Mike’s view.

He said: “We need to bomb IS in Syria. Targeted attacks on the IS military structure will degrade them to the point where they crack and have to deal with us.”

He added: “Britain needs to show leadership. So far we have failed to show any kind of leadership either militarily or diplomatically.

“And that is the key, not only using our military might but also our diplomatic skills.

“Europe will not move without Britain so we need to show an example to them too.

“That’s when you show diplomatic skills, separating out those who can be our allies in the region.

SAS legend and Sun Security Adviser Andy McNab warned: “The price of doing nothing is that this crisis will just escalate.

“We can do more and we should do more. We missed the boat on the last vote and now we need to get on with it.”

Lord Carey, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, said Britain should “crush” IS with air strikes in Syria.

The retired bishop, 79, who was head of the Church of England from 1991 to 2002, said it would help create “safe enclaves” within the war-torn country.

He said: “It’s not enough to send aid to refugee camps in the Middle East.

“There must be renewed military and diplomatic efforts to crush the twin menaces of IS and al-Qaeda once and for all.”

The RAF has been taking part in a bombing campaign against IS in neighbouring Iraq. But it has not joined attacks on Syria because MPs voted against military action there two years ago.

Chancellor George Osborne yesterday suggested the Government may call a new vote authorising military strikes in Syria.

If the order was given, Astute-class attack submarines using Tomahawk missiles could wipe out IS HQs in the city of Raqqah.

This could be followed by precision bombing strikes involving RAF Tornado jets.

The RAF’s fleet of fearsome Reaper drones could also have their mission extended into Syria.

Armed with Hellfire missiles they can destroy armoured vehicles and teams of IS fighters from a height of thousands of feet.

The US is already bombing IS targets in Syria but more firepower from Britain could tip the balance. With IS fighters having nowhere to hide, the Peshmerga, being trained by the British Army in infantry skills, could sweep in.

Ending the bloodshed and restoring peace would help slow the mass exodus.

Action must be taken in lawless Libya too where some 500,000 refugees are massed to make the life-or-death voyage to Europe.

Merciless smuggling gangs are making millions from the unprecedented refugee crisis, the likes of which have not been seen since World War Two.

IS was blamed for starting an exodus from Syria that saw toddler Aylan Kurdi, three, washed up on beach after drowning off Turkey as his family fled the civil war in their homeland.

Mr Osborne said: “We know there is not a simple answer to this crisis.

“What you need to do is first of all tackle IS and the criminal gangs who killed that boy.”

The Sun revealed this month that Royal Navy submarine HMS Ambush had conducted a secret spying mission on Libya ahead of a combat mission to smash smuggling gangs.

Plans have been drawn up for an EU force comprising ten nations including Britain, but led by Italy, to attack the network."

European leaders would rather attack with the blessing of a UN mandate but insiders insisted they could take action without one.

The mission would use air and sea power to destroy bases, ports and boats used by the gangs.

Special Forces could also be deployed in Libya to disrupt and dismantle smuggling networks.

Military commanders would prefer not to use ground forces but may have to in order to fully secure the coastline.

The mission to end all migrant smuggling from Libya could be launched within 12 months.

Libya’s two rival governments both say they do not want foreign intervention to crack the rackets.

Meanwhile migrants seeking asylum in Britain will undergo a thorough vetting process to ensure they have no links to terrorist groups, it was revealed last night.

Government officials drawing up plans to bring 15,000 refugees from camps in Jordan and Lebanon are working on a questionnaire to weed out potentially dangerous applicants.

The move addresses fears that IS infiltrators may try to sneak into the UK amid genuine refugees fleeing Syria and Iraq.

Downing Street sources confirmed the “utmost care” would be taken when dealing with all pleas to enter the UK.
