Gutless. The stench of appeasement

[Flashman]

A rare outbreak of democracy in Britain. More of this please.

The history of mankind is absolutely chock-full of staged incidents designed to provoke war.
I have no idea if chemical weapons were used in Syria, and if they were, I have no idea who used them
but the idea of a fit-up comes first in my mind.

appeasment is giving someone yer wallet if they look like they might want to kick you in the nuts.

what threat do Syria pose to us ? where does the idea of appeasment come from ?
sounds like more bollux from a known bollux-generator

We may need to take the Great of Great Britain on that comment Cojak.

This country is the beacon of Democracy, fair play and justice. We just showed we're more Italian than English with this display.

Welcome to the real world...

Going in guns blazing to stop those evil folks worked very well in Iraq...

In the past decade more US soldiers have died from suicide than have been KIA.

Why the UK listens to what that this country has to say is beyond me.

It is interesting that this chemical attack seemed to have so much media coverage / videos / YouTubes etc compared with anything else from that country.

I think it's the nature of it that the western media have latched on to. There's plenty of horrible things from there if you're so inclined.

One that got me was the From Our Own Correspondent about the snipers in Aleppo.

The idea of getting dragged into a ground war in that place appals me (it will turn into a regional conflict), but I think targeted strikes against known chemical weapon infrastructure are warranted, and probably necessary.

That's enough sense for this evening, the only sane thing to do is to turn the entire desert to glass. We'd probably get kicked out of the UN though....

If your army is really good at not losing men, that's not so surprising. Think about it.

Weren't more of our troops killed by the Americans than the Iraqis in the first gulf war as well

The UN is pointless now anyway, when you have some beacons of democracy as China and Russia able to veto anything

Pretty reasonable decision to be fair - no good evidence was shown and short term action won't make things better anyway.
