Hello

The UK joining the coalition will help a bit but actually make not much difference.

There are already many nations pounding ISIS positions. France, Russia and the USA are actually bombing for quite some time. What we really need to see is ground troops to go in there and destroy ISIS. But this is a high risk strategy for western leaders as they know the voters will not accept bodybags coming home.

Govt. spokesman George Orwell reported

Four British Tornados have hit seven targets in eastern Syrian oilfields in the wake of the Commons decision to join military action in an attempt to degrade and destroy Isis forces. The defence secretary, Michael Fallon, disclosed that the aircraft were using Paveway bombs and had “dealt a real blow” to the Isis-controlled oilfields. Fallon said the air campaign, due to be supported by reconstituted Syrian troops, could last as long as three years.

Real blows for three years...Man, they´re gonna kill each terrorist at least twenty times...

The UK, and all the other NATO nations should have been in this fight all along. Yet they have sat back and relied on the good old U.S. to try and stop these vermin from the Koran. If the U.S. would have had support from the beginning, these terrible people would have never gained a foot hold. Now the time has come to defeat them, and what do you see? Good ole mother Russia, to gather up the spoils when it is over.

The strikes on their own (without ground forces) not going to resolve anything but probably will make things worse. In addition as a side effect bombing and weakening the IS going to strengthen their competitors like al-Nusra and other jihadist groups, so in a few years from now we are going to have the same situation again (still). Otherwise bombing the shit out of those bastards is a pretty good idea.

I support that air strikes, just it dont look like word leaders really want to make end of those terrorists. If they do, they would make coalition and send ground troops there. I mean, almost whole world is involved in fight against bunch of armed natives, some foreign (non professional) mercenaries and random scum (all together not more than 100k of bad trained soldiers). It looks like bad joke.

The vote has passed in favour of the UK commencing air-strikes against the Daesh.

The opposition to this seems to worry more about the potential planned attacks on UK soil. However, I do feel that the speech delivered here by Hilary Benn gives a strong case FOR the strikes.
