But other parties in @placeholder are wary of air strikes in Syria, regarding them as dubious in international law.
The atrocious murder of David Haines puts the United Kingdom and in particular Prime Minister David Cameron front and center in the evolving battle against ISIS. It's not as though he is short of work, with a referendum in Scotland this week and a problematic relationship with the European Union among current elections next year dominating a crowded schedule. But the PM must now mobilize the British public for another campaign in Iraq, mindful that the last one was widely opposed. Revulsion at the beheading of three hostages will likely provide a bedrock of support.

After all, Kim hasn't been seen in public in over a month, and the country's media took the unusual step of admitting that Kim is in an "uncomfortable physical condition." Some commentators believe this suggests Kim might be more seriously ill than the country is letting on. But others have speculated something more dramatic might have occurred -- namely a coup.

"(W)e can confirm that the funds have been released and we are working directly with the account holder on this matter," a PayPal representative said via e-mail.

Sir Hew said: ‘It saddens me that a man of the @placeholder’s stature does not seem to respect the rights of a group of people to self-determination.
Veteran: Lt General Sir Hew Pike, who led 3 Para in the 1982 conflict, is 'saddened' that the pontiff believes the Falklands belong to Argentina Falklands veterans told of their dismay last night after the Argentine president hinted she hoped the new Pope – her countryman – would mediate in the dispute surrounding the territory. Pope Francis believes the South Atlantic islands are ‘Argentine soil’. In 2010 the then Buenos Aires Cardinal declared: ‘The Malvinas are ours’, and last year he accused Britain of ‘usurping’ the islands. Firebrand Argentine president Cristina Kirchner, who has for months been seeking easy home popularity by calling for Britain to enter talks on withdrawing from the Falklands, has leapt on the promotion of her fellow Argentine to the papacy to boost her case. @highlight Pope Francis calls Falkland Islands 'Argentine soil' @highlight General Sir Hew Pike said new pontiff does not observe islander's rights @highlight Argentina's president Kirchner hopes Francis will help her claim to islands

The United States could end up cooperating with Iran to stop militant gains in Iraq, Secretary of State John Kerry suggested Monday in an interview with Yahoo!News. But a Pentagon spokesman denied Monday that any military coordination with Iran is in the cards. In his interview with Yahoo!News, Kerry didn't say that cooperation with Iran is under active discussion inside the administration. "Let's see what Iran might or might not be willing to do before we start making any pronouncements," he said.

@placeholder has received the results of an NFL investigation into the Saints' program and will decide on discipline, which could include fines, suspensions and forfeiture of draft choices, the NFL said.
(CNN) -- The New Orleans Saints' defense had a bounty program that paid players for injuring opponents and for making interceptions and fumble recoveries, the National Football League said Friday. The program involved as many as 27 defensive players, at least one assistant coach, and was active during the 2009, 2010 and 2011 seasons, said the league. "The payments here are particularly troubling because they involved not just payments for 'performance,' but also for injuring opposing players," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "It is our responsibility to protect player safety and the integrity of our game, and this type of conduct will not be tolerated. We have made significant progress in changing the culture with respect to player safety and we are not going to relent," he added. @highlight NEW: NFL: The program was administered by then-defensive coordinator Gregg Williams @highlight NEW: He reportedly apologizes and says he'll never be involved with such activity again @highlight NEW: NFL: Head coach Sean Payton was aware of the allegations and failed to stop the program @highlight Both the individuals involved and the club could be punished

We will be hearing from @placeholder, and from the Palin-haters, for a long while to come.
Editor's Note: Matthew Continetti is the associate editor of The Weekly Standard. His book "The Persecution of Sarah Palin" is slated for publication by Penguin Sentinel in the spring of 2010. Sarah Palin's charisma is such that she doesn't need to hold an office to wield influence, Matthew Continetti says. (CNN) -- "Everything changed on August 29 in politics in Alaska," Sarah Palin told NBC's Andrea Mitchell this week. The reference was to the day last year when John McCain announced that Palin, a 44-year-old mother of five who became Alaska's governor only in December 2006, would be his presidential running mate. @highlight Palin's impulsive moves have yielded positive results in the past, Continetti says @highlight He says speculations about her presidential ambitions are premature @highlight "Whatever she does will be noticed," Continetti says

If you think your Christmas Day will be tiring spare a thought for the parents of Britain's biggest family - who started preparing for lunch at 1am.
