Indian Cobra |
Although the bites of some
species of the Cobra are extremely dangerous because of their potent
neurotoxins, cobras have not been shown to attack people unprovoked. Cobras
almost never attack without a threat display, which typically involves raising
the hood and hissing. COBRA, the acronym for Cabinet Office Briefing Room-A,
needs to be considering responses to the growing threat of Islamic State in a far
more venomous manner than mere hissing and furthermore, highly deadly
pre-emptive strikes against what has to be the most predatory enemy of mankind,
are surely now a priority in terms of planning.
The first Cobra meeting
took place in the 1970s in response to the miner's strike. Other events that
have led to meetings convening include the fuel protests, the 2001 foot and
mouth outbreak and the July 7th 2005 attacks in London and more recently, the murder of Lee
Rigby. In the current crisis, Prime Minister David Cameron must be considering
the recall of Parliament as the urgent need for a decisive course of action
must be debated in the House of Commons.
Cabinet Office Briefing Room-A |
On the last occasion when
armed action in Syria
was brought to the House for debate, there was seemingly no appetite for
deploying our Armed Forces for active service ‘in-theatre’, although it is a
fair observation to make, that the Leader of the Opposition swung against
direct action for purely political reasons. Today, neither side in the House –
even the modern day ‘Conchies’, can argue that the National Security of Great
Britain and its wider interests are under anything other than a direct threat from Islamic State.
Furthermore, our allies are threatened too and as such, we surely have a duty
to ‘weigh-in’ in the fullest sense.
Let us consider recent
developments, not all of which have been reported in Western
Media. Yesterday (22nd September) some Turkish language
newspapers were reporting that some 300 Iraqi soldiers had been killed by IS
forces by way of chlorine gas attacks. One can only wonder as to who supplied
them with this material, but it was also reported that IS had hanged some of
their own number for apparently failing to act ruthlessly enough. The 'order of
the day' within IS now is ‘Kill by all possible means’, whilst a contact of this
columnist has produced photographic evidence of people being slaughtered in a
manner even food-animals would not endure. The actual methodology will not be
elaborated here and it must be stressed that the evidence in relation to the latter is uncorroborated.
Other sources have
suggested to the writer that IS forces are also threatening to attack targets
in Egypt and furthermore, that they are being reinforced by way of ostensible ‘tourists’
to south-Cyprus then diverting to Turkey and into Syria in order to bolster the
already burgeoning, yet well funded, organised and certainly well armed Islamic
State terror organ. It has furthermore been suggested that some 3000 Turkish
volunteers have crossed the Syrian border to so engage. For its part, Turkey
is absorbing more and more refugees with 130,000 crossing over its borders in
recent days.
Just as IS cells are
emerging in other countries like latter-day 5th Columnists, it has
to be the case that the UK is likely to have IS ‘cancer-cells’ dormant within
its borders awaiting a catalyst, presumably by way of a coded signal, to strike
targets here in Great Britain or perhaps to take hostages, just as is being
ruthlessly carried out on a daily basis a few thousand miles away from our
shores. It is inconceivable that our Intel Services are not already ramping up
their monitoring operations and presumably, the listening posts of Cyprus will
be ‘fairly busy’ during this very real and emerging crisis.
B52's like this could be used against IS targets. |
The USA, in coalition with several Middle-Eastern
countries, are now carrying out numerous air-strikes against IS targets in Syria and also Iraq. During the night of the 22nd
September, some 14 such raids were executed although details of damage
occasioned to those targets have not been released. As yet, the UK has not joined
in directly; it surely has to be time that we did if our credibility as a key
NATO member is to be upheld. Surely the government has the option of declaring
a National Emergency which should enable it to order a military intervention
irrespective of Parliament? The situation is far too dangerous to allow
hand-wringing ‘Conchies’ to prevent our waging what needs to be devastating and
concentrated destruction of IS targets wherever they maybe INCLUDING where ever
these cells might be uncovered in Great Britain. To fail to do so is
nothing short of weakness.
Another chilling
consideration to ponder is that on or around the 4th October, the
Feast of Holy Sacrifice, Eid al Adha or Kurban Bayram, will commence.
Traditionally, this is where the eldest son of a family will take a sheep or a
lamb and slaughter it in accordance with Islamic custom. One third is for
himself and his immediate family, one third for his extended family and the
final third is distributed to the poor and needy. In the wholly perverted minds
of these IS vermin, who are entirely non-representative of any true Muslim, it
is entirely reasonable to believe that more and more beheadings and other
heinous murders will be carried out during Eid and somehow, they will attempt
to ‘justify’ their methodology and reasoning. The indefensible cannot be
defended; it has to be destroyed, and with ruthless efficiency.
Quite apart from the
constitutional whirlwind that swirls around the recently 'saved' United Kingdom,
a new form of Desert Storm or ‘Shamal’ is blasting across the Middle East and
Asia Minor in the form of Islamic State. Europe
is clearly in its path and we must all do our level best to assist our European
neighbours in the defence of their respective citizens as well as our own. It
is only a matter of time before key targets are hit here by IS ‘sleepers’ and
perhaps in a manner that would render the IRA as little more than misbehaving
schoolboys. The UK
government MUST initiate pre-emptive strikes now and with devastating force –
delays maybe costly!
