It's "coalition" time again.

QuoteTony Blair, one of the chief architects of the Iraq War, seems to be backing another military intervention in the Middle East, as he said Theresa May needs no parliamentary backing to launch airstrikes on Syria.

Proving that old habits die hard, the former Labour prime minister encouraged the UK to "be alongside" the US in future military action. President Donald Trump is widely expected to announce a military response in Syria, following allegations of a chemical weapons attack on the formerly rebel-held town of Douma.     




Is Britain about to join US military action over reports of Syria chemical attack?

The UK is coming under increased pressure to join the US in its expected military action against Assad. Britain has a history of backing American foreign intervention without UN approval, a trend that could be set to continue.

Theresa May confirmed that she will speak with US President Donald Trump about the alleged chemical attack in Syria. She added that the UK is working urgently with its allies to assess what happened, and said that those behind the attack will be held to account.

The UK PM will chair a meeting of Britain's Security Council later today,..

QuoteTheresa May has been warned by MPs not to ignore Parliament when joining with Donald Trump in his expected military action in Syria, following an alleged chemical attack that reportedly killed dozens.

MPs from all the main political parties have urged the UK prime minister to consult Parliament before lending military support to the US and France, which are discussing options to target Bashar Assad over the alleged chemical attack in Douma.

French President Emmanuel Macron said the three countries would decide "within days" how to respond. Macron said the decision would be made on the possibility of striking Syria's "chemical capacities," while White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said "all options are on the table."

As the decision nears, the Commons' Defence Select Committee chairman, Julian Lewis, who voted down David Cameron when he put forward an unsuccessful motion to attack Assad in 2013, said: "When we are contemplating military intervention in other people's conflicts, Parliament ought to be consulted."

The good thing is that there is no appetite for war with the American people except for Jews and the retards pushing the stupid Russian hacking hoax, and nowhere else in the world, except for Israel.

I have been monitoring AM conservatard radio during lunch and after work and they are mostly avoiding the topic of Syria.

Democracy Now and some other left leaning programs and discussing it but very objectively.

No Agenda show had some good clips that maybe I will post here later/

I think the only way they can get the war going is if they can the OPCW to fabricate the evidence. It is a good chance that the OPCW will say it was Assad just like they suggested that the Russian government was behind the poison attack in London.

But even then they have to get the UN to go along with it, but there are already too many credible experts either accusing the opposition forces in Syria of being behind the attacks or outright calling the attacks a hoax. Like literally a hoax, like they never happened as such.

Sky News cuts off top British general after he asks 'Why would Syria launch a gas attack now?'

UK broadcaster Sky News cut short Major-General Jonathan Shaw, formerly one of the British Army's most senior officers, in mid-sentence, as he cast doubt on London's narrative on the alleged Syrian government gas attack in Douma.

News presenter Samantha Washington asked Shaw a narrowly-worded question, asking if Russian denials about the government's responsibility would mean it's necessary for any UK intervention in Syria to be approved by parliament.

But Shaw, who retired in 2012 to become a security expert, wanted to take the discussion back a step.

"Quite apart from all that, the debate that seems to be missing from this is... What possible motive could have triggered Syria to launch this chemical attack at this time in this place?" he asked.

"The Syrians are winning, don't take my word for it, take the American military's word for it," Shaw said.

He then mentioned the words of Joseph Votel, the Commander of United States Central Command, who conceded last month that Bashar Assad "has won the war," and US President Donald Trump, who recently announced the US' intentions to pull its troops out of the conflict.

As Shaw continued his thought, saying: "... And then suddenly you get this," he was interrupted by Washington, who interjected with "I am very sorry, you have been very patient for us, but we do need to leave it there," before going to adverts.

Sky has not clarified whether it cut the interview, which only lasted for two minutes, due to editorial or time considerations. The Mirror reported sources within the Murdoch-owned company claiming that a"hard" ad break was scheduled.

Shaw, 59, whose 30-year career spanned from the Falklands to Kosovo to commanding the UK forces in Iraq in 2006, can by no means be described as a Kremlin stooge, and, even in a previous response within the same exchange, he accused Moscow of "muddying the waters."

His dissention from the official UK line, which declares that Assad was "highly likely" to be responsible for the April 7 attack, was uploaded to social media and shared thousands of times in outrage.
