UK MPs To Vote On Syria Bombing
Speaking at the beginning of a day-long debate in the House of Commons before a vote later Wednesday night, he said the plans were “not about whether we want to fight terrorism, it’s about how best we do that”.
“This threat is very real, the question is this – do we work with our allies to degrade and destroy this threat or do we sit back and wait for them to attack us?”
This comes weeks after terrorist attacks in Paris left 130 people dead and hundreds injured. “These women-raping, Muslim-murdering, medieval monsters are hijacking the peaceful religion of Islam for their warped ends”.
The motion has the support of Cameron’s Conservative Party, as well as the Democratic Unionists and the Liberal Democrats, according to the BBC.
But MPs in the borough remain divided on the issue.
Mr Corbyn said the remarks “demean the office of prime minister”.
Few Conservative Party members were expected to rebel against the Government, with all four Nottinghamshire Tories saying before the vote that they would be in favour of action. – Former Scottish first minister Alex Salmond.
If Cameron’s plan is approved, British officials say the bombing runs could start within hours, launched from an air base in Cyprus. “The logic of an extended air campaign is, in fact, towards mission creep and Western boots on the ground”, Corbyn said.
Breedlove said Wednesday there has been some shift in Russian tactics lately but that the “vast majority of their sorties” are targeting moderate groups, not Islamic State extremists operating there who are the main target of US raids.
The British parliament is set to debate and vote on a motion authorising the use of military force against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group in Syria.
“The question of how to most effectively deal with Daesh is complex and multifaceted, but I have always been convinced there is a need for a military component to our strategy”.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has denied the claims and said he will resign if the accusations are proven. It would also be in position to conduct unilateral operations into Syria.
But Kerry, speaking after North Atlantic Treaty Organisation meetings in Brussels, said that if Russia’s focus on fighting IS was “genuine”, it could have a constructive role in bringing peace.
“ISIL attack us not because of what we have done, but because of who we are”. Cameron did not deny making the comment and did not apologise.
“And just two years ago the Prime Minister urged us to bomb the opponents of Daesh that would have likely strengthened this terrorist organisation”. To oppose another reckless and half-baked intervention isn’t pacifism.
Opposing intervention was not pacifism but “hard-headed common sense”, he said.
