Britain

UK signals push for vote on Syria military action

2015-10-05

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] British Prime Minister

David Cameron
... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ...
signaled that he would push ahead with plans for a vote in the British parliament to approve military action against ISIS snuffies in Syria, The Daily Telegraph newspaper said.

Cameron was quoted as saying that British military attacks in Syria "may well become possible." Previously, Cameron has said he sees a strong case for extending British air strikes to Syria from Iraq.

#4 "ROEs probably boil down to "Are they us? No? Then kill them""

Works for me, Rambler. Should be ours, too.

#3 And their ROEs probably boil down to "Are they us? No? Then kill them"

Not that I am saying we should have such rules, but if you are taking fire from a mosque or hospital, you should be able to return fire/call in an airstrike.

#2 British Foreign Minister Philip Hammond said on Sunday Russia cannot fight ISIS snuffies in Syria and support Assad at the same time.

Of course they can.

Although the Russians won't be too bothered over whether rebels call themselves brand x or brand y.
