Syria could be a shit storm.
We are about to address a madman. Are you with us?
According to our Prime Minister we're not anymore as he said he'll not be revisiting this issue. And it's not a done deal that you'll be doing anything if your public is anything to go by as they don't want troops back on the ground which they think will happen if we start missile attacks.
I know you support the refugee. Will you stand with America on an intervention?
Apparently not but I reckon there might be a revisit by MPs as Obama will put the pressure on Cameron as I suspect he did in the first place which caused us to make a rushed decision. Also, if we wait for the results from the UN inspectors then I think you'll get more chance of us helping, i.e. lending you our air-bases to strike from, but if we don't wait then I think little chance as the public remember the guff about chemical weapons being in Iraq as the reason for going in their and look at the state of that place now. That's the problem with crying wolf.

Not sure about the 'international' part Bill, as we pretty much ignored international law in the last couple of 'wars' you dragged us into. It's why the public got it wrong this time as they remember the travesty still ongoing in the last ones we 'addressed'.
One point of law tho', can we legally condemn Syria over the use of chemical weapons given they are not signatories to the Chemical Weapons Convention although they are part of the Geneva Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or Other Gases but I guessed they'd argue that a civil war is not a war in the Geneva sense.
