| Britain Says No Syria Strike before U.N. Inspection Results |
| 2013-08-29 |
| [An Nahar] Britannia will not take military action against the Syrian regime before United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... inspectors report back on evidence of chemical weapons attacks, according to a motion published by the government Wednesday that is set to be put to a parliamentary vote. Lawmakers are due to vote on Britannia's response to the attacks on Thursday but any military action will require a further vote of parliament's House of Commons after the U.N. experts report back, according to the motion. The U.N. Security Council, of which Britannia is a permanent member, should be immediately briefed as soon as the inspections are complete and then "every effort" should be made to secure a resolution from the Security Council backing military action, the motion said. "The United Nations Security Council must have the opportunity immediately to consider that briefing and that every effort should be made to secure a Security Council Resolution backing military action before any such action is taken," it stated. "Before any direct British involvement in such action a further vote of the House of Commons will take place." |

| #2 The only people supporting Syrian "intervention" are a few MPs and the cabinet. |

| #1 Finally, the voice and logic of the late David Kelly at least partially vindicated. All of this may soon get very interesting. |
