Amusing quote from the Russian Deputy PM earlier, "The West behaves towards the Islamic world like a monkey with a grenade."![]()
I guess camerons unlikely to be elected again so might as well get his name in the history books
The history of being Congresses lapdog?
Hague was assuredly without words, when trying to explain why he could not "detail" our response before the Presidents one.
If the Public has anything to wonder about, it is how Westminster deals with the White house in the future, its a prime reason for a lot of crap in recent years.
I wish that someone would ask the MP's, Presidents and any spokesman what Assad's regime would possibly benefit from this mindless chemical attack when they are in as strong as position they have been for years.
There is no answer.

"We can't topple Bashar and hand it to the FSA to establish the same apostate secularist state. We are not fighting against Bashar only; we are fighting the system."
The tactics with which al-Nusra is waging its war are no less brutal than those of its al-Qaida-affiliated counterparts in other areas of the Middle East. A few weeks before our visit, after a feud with a local tribe over oil, al-Nusra fighters had surrounded the village of Albu Saray and taken the whole male population of the village prisoner. A few of them were accused of killing an al-Nusra commander, and were executed, and many of the houses in the village were flattened. "Do you know why the Americans and Israelis are winning and we Arabs always lose?" asked the emir. "Because we Arabs are emotional."
Al-Nusra, by contrast, was an international organisation, and was "not built on emotions". Its members should be ready to kill their brothers or cousins if they were proved to have to committed apostasy.
"Hitting Albu Saray was a pre-emptive strike," he said. "They were weak. They had a bad reputation. Kill them, and you teach more powerful tribes a lesson. They will start fearing."
