Syria: UK Draws Up Plans For Military Action

[johnboy1974]

Isn't there atrocities taking place in Uganda and china. Tens of thousands of children dying in countries other than Syria all over the world and the USA do nothing. The difference is that Syria is in the axis of evil.
Look out North Korea, you're next on the world policeman's radar.

US President Barack Obama's decision to delay possible military action in Syria while it is debated by Congress could "embolden" the forces of President Assad, an opposition group says.
Syrian National Coalition spokesman Louay Safi called the decision a "failure of leadership" by the US.


Mr Safi, spokesman for the main opposition grouping, said he was disappointed with Mr Obama's announcement.
"Our fear now is that the lack of action could embolden the regime and they repeat his attacks in a more serious way," he told CNN.
There has been no official statement since Mr Obama's announcement but CBS quotes Deputy Prime Minister Qadri Jamil as saying: "If the US has postponed its decision, or retreated... this invites ridicule from all sides."

I'm guessing that the so called evidence isn't. Hopefully sense is prevailing at last. As for UN resolutions and the like they are ignored regularly, take a look at the ones about Israel.

FURIOUS politicians have demanded Prime Minister David Cameron explain why chemical export licences were granted to firms last January ***8211; 10 months after the Syrian uprising began.

BRITAIN allowed firms to sell chemicals to Syria capable of being used to make nerve gas, the Sunday Mail can reveal today.
Export licences for potassium fluoride and sodium fluoride were granted months after the bloody civil war in the Middle East began.

The chemical export licences were granted by Business Secretary Vince Cable***8217;s Department for Business, Innovation and Skills last January ***8211; 10 months after the Syrian uprising began.

So we do have the receipts anyway. Perhaps Dave was keen to get in there so he could hide the evidence. Wonder which way Vince voted... with his conscience, job or wallet. Though it will be very interesting to see who released the gas.

I was so happy you Brits voted against action against Syria. It sticks it in Obama ass. America or any other country don't need to get involved in another country's affairs. Look what happen in Libya and what is going on in Egypt. These people are very unstable and if they want to kill each other then let them.

If your country was democratically elected govt in the iddle Eastt, you all be overthrown, because UIS want to overthrow all independent elected govt; they are happy to make friends with unelected govt like ahrain, audi rabia, Katar and Kovait.

The only news from tabloid this month is rattling that Ssyria used gas!!! were the tabloid hiding behind the tree when alestinian children were getting slaughters by Israel last war and could not make news you wonder why?

Relying on the UN to act over Syria would be tantamount to "contracting out foreign policy and morality" to a Russian veto, David Cameron has said.
Speaking at the G20 summit in St Petersburg, the prime minister said the international community could not be hamstrung by a likely Russian veto.
Countries supporting intervention had "far the better of the argument" in discussions, Mr Cameron added.
But Vladimir Putin said more than half were opposed to any military action.
Little progress was made on Syria at the two-day summit, although the UK said agreement had been reached on increasing access for humanitarian aid and medical assistance.
The prime minister said he continued to press for a tough response to the "taboo" of chemical weapons - adding that the case they had been used by the Assad government was "overwhelming".

BBC News - G20: Syria policy cannot be left to United Nations says Cameron

Even though the UN haven't finished their investigation and without the backing of parliament or the UN. It is looking likely that Assad didn't throw them, and yet he still wants in. Perhaps Dave just wants to make a name for himself with other peoples blood. Maybe time he underwent some sort of physciatric evaluation to see whether he has mental illness issues. Certainly seems like he is trying to distract the media and voters with a 'good' (is there any such thing?) campaign to bomb and kill people. Wonder what he's hiding.

Forgot to add, Dave's given some more taypayers money away as well. He's very generous... with other peoples money isn't he. What next, give some money to Spain to make Spanish the language of Gibraltor?

Prime Minister David Cameron has committed a further ?52m in UK aid for victims of the civil war in Syria. The extra money will take the UK's total spending on aid for Syria and neighbouring states to ?400m. The Foreign Office said it is the UK's largest ever response to a humanitarian crisis.

[super jumbe]

GastonJ once you have made a very good point, you got my vote.

So the UK are going to pay aid to victims of the civil war in Syria, at the same time the west is also arming the rebels I am lost hear does not add up.

DONATION, do you know I stopped giving donations since the west have put sanctions on some poor countries, drones strikes killing thousands of innocent children why make people suffer on the basis of politics, and then ask the public for donation knowingly we can avoid crisis in the first place, were do we draw the line?

[GastonJ]

I think the line should be drawn. TBH it might be time for a Downing Street petition to stop all donations until teh UK is sorted out first. I know how aid works anyway. We'll give you ?50 million, but you must by tents with it, and you must buy them form one of our companies. They'e are ?20,000 each and you have ?50 million eh? you have just enough, oh and delivery is ?5 million. So we give you ?50 milion and you need to pay us ?55 million. Foreign aid is bullsh*t anyway.

Looks war could be avoided if Assad get rid of chemical weapen.
LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Monday Syrian President Bashar al-Assad could avoid a military strike by turning over all his chemical weapons within a week but immediately made clear he was sure that would never happen.
US told sadam to get rid of Weapons Of Mass Distraction was he pardon???

[GastonJ]

There's a couple of things still bother me over this:

1) Why would the side that's winning throw chemical weapons? A. Nothing the West would take action against them.
2) Who has the most to gain from them being thrown? and the West getting involved A. The rebels it would mean the West would bomb the Assad bunch.

The delaying of the US seems to be an indication that they are not as sure as they were about who threw them, though Dave keeps on pushing for the US to attack. It would appear that Parliament voting "No" means nothing to our government who still keep up the pressure. Russia saying they will support Syria if the US attacks does seem to give food for thought as well. I'd never discount the Russians.

[GastonJ]

Well, Dave and his warmongering arms dealer mates must be upset over not getting Syria bombed. Haven't heard much from him of late urging the US and other on to killing people *shrug* Nor have I seen that he's been urging on the peace talks either. Guess he was trying to make a name for himself other than "posh oily tw@"

Where's teh overwhelming evidence now? perhaps it was burned along with the receipts
