He's damned if he attacks damned if he doesn't and sits back letting the genocide continue

No win situation for him really.

What is more concerning to me is that before there is any proof of chemical weapons use by the Syrian government, the USA are already saying that they have used them. Jumped straight to the conclusion they need/want. We as the UK won't go there without the USA so it's their opinion that matters most.

If they have used chemical weapons on their own people I would fully support the removal of the regime with the use of military force. If they haven't, we should steer well clear and stop funding the rebels as half of these are jihadists.
