USA and Allies strike Syria

[oldcolner]

May wins a closing SNP vote by 314 to 36 as Labour leaves the Chamber.

Mrs May outlined the UN resolutions on Syria vetoed by the Kremlin in recent months.
She warned Corbyn that relying solely on the UN Security Council was tantamount to agreeing not to act.

Mike Gapes, Labour, Illford South: 'Can I remind the PM and Mr Corbyn it was a Labour Government with Robin Cook as Foreign Secretary that carried out airstrikes in Iraq under Operation Desert Fox in 1998, without a UN resolution.
'It was a Labour Government that restored President Kabbah in Sierra Leone without a UN resolution.
'It was a Labour Government that stopped ethnic cleansing in Kosovo without a UN resolution.
'There is a long standing and noble tradition on these benches supporting humanitarian intervention and the responsibility to protect.'

Chris Leslie, Labour, Nottingham East: 'Pinpointing and degrading Assad's chemical weapons was necessary and appropriate, and that intervening to save civilians from future gas attacks - while not without risk - was absolutely the right thing to do.'

Well that's OK then!

Lets bomb Riyadh to prevent the current ongoing genocide in Yemen with British bombs and military assets.

...and then it's obvious we support our Muslim brothers and sisters in Myanmar by bombing the ****e out of Naypyidaw. People are dying over there in their thousands.

We simply cannot allow one person in the United Kingdom to arbitrate on who we bomb the fcuk out of.

This was not bombing a country, but chemical weapons installations.
We simply cannot risk delaying action on humanitarian grounds nor having to forewarn the tyrants of our plans, not can we share all intelligence with all MPs. Some would pass it on! Jeremy wouldn’t approve any action anyway, thank goodness some of his MS are patriots.
Would MPs need to approve each possible action. Sorry but it’s impractical and risks troops lives.
We need to leave tactics to the military

What happened here was the United Nations minus Russia who had blocked 6 resolutions then implementing action to protect people from illegal war acts.

Re your other proposed actions, have their been any chemical weapons used or UN resolutions requiring action that Russia has blocked, or any demands for action.

BT
Are you serious?

The world is a mess and murder rape and genocide goes on in lots of countries.

China in Tibet killing 1.2m http://www.thetibetpost.com/outlook/...eople-of-tibet
N Korea http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-2...nt-to-genocide
Russia kills journalists and its people abroad.

We are not imperial powers any more so what do you really expect Theresa to do, unless crimes happen here. Even then Jeremy wants to do nothing.

Now turn this around

What would Jeremy be doing with your undying support in all these countries that concern you. I suggest it would be Sweet Football Association.

Bloody hell BT.

As you know, I am not Theresa's biggest fan, but are you suggesting that she be criticized for not taking action in Burma?
