By which legal authority does UK special forces have to be in Syria?

[Splott Dave]

Do you know that for certain? 100% that there has not been an agreement to allow UK forces to target ISIS? How can you be 100% certain there is not a top secret agreement between Assad government and the UK USA governments to be allowed to target ISIS, on the basis they dont attack Assads forces?

Dont you think it is a bit weird to go to war with someone and not attack their forces? I sure do.

British forces have crossed from Jordon, not from a seaport or airport in Syria. It's hardly likely seeing as Cameron lost a vote in the HoC about engaging in a bombing campaign against ISIS, on the pretext that we would be assisting the mythical army of '70,000 moderates' that nobody has ever seen.

The only effective forces in Syria are the Russians who are there with the full support of the Syrian government. The so called 'Free Syrian Army' may well be fighting ISIS (there are about 30 different armed groups in Syria) but they certainly are also the sworn enemies of the Syrian government forces.

Maybe having a word with our 'allies' Israel to stop helping with Jihadi fighting groups might work just as well?
