Jeremy Corbyn: Allies' bombing is 'legally questionable'
2018-04-15
The current head of Britain’s Labour party puts hmself on the wrong side of yet another issue. Is there a single thing he’s right about?
[Al Jazeera] The leader of Britannia's largest opposition party is suggesting Theresa May, the prime minister, could face a backlash in parliament for her decision to join the US and La Belle France in launching strikes against Syria.

The Labour Party's Jeremy Corbyn says the allies' bombing is "legally questionable" and risks further escalating "an already devastating conflict".

"May should have sought parliamentary approval, not trailed after Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
," he said on Saturday.

Corbyn said the strikes will make assigning blame for the use of chemical weapons in Syria "less, not more, likely".

"Bombs won't save lives or bring about peace," he said, adding that Britannia should be leading the response and "not taking instructions from Washington and putting British military personnel in harm's way".

#4  Corbyn serves as a warning, like Hillary, of what the worst would look like

#3  'legally questionable' - in what manner, I wonder?

We had Obama; Canada has Trudeau and if things break UK Labor's way, they'll have Corbin, and apparently he's OK with Pencilneck and his chemical weapons.

OK. Suppose you succeed and pin the blame on Pencilneck. Then what?
