Cameron Turns Down Plan to Bomb ISIL Positions in Syria

Cameron has abandoned plans to carry out airstrikes against ISIL positions in Syria.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — British Prime Minister David Cameron has abandoned plans to carry out airstrikes against Islamic State (ISIL) positions in Syria after he failed to receive support from Labour MPs, the Times newspaper reported Tuesday.

According to the newspaper, vote on extending of military action though Iraqi border, that was expected by the year end, will not take place. The Prime Minister failed to persuade enough of Jeremy Corbyn's (Leader of the Labour Party) MPs. According to the newspaper's source from the Downing Street, Cameron needed support of 40 Labour MPs to win the vote.

On October 30, the White House announced it would deploy up to 50 additional special forces in Syria to assist its anti-ISIL air campaign.

Of course..

You don't bomb western assets , do you?

Labour don't want to upset the muslim jihadis who they let in en masse when they were in power.

A fine idea: US human-shields. Daring the Russians to bomb just one of them. Keep poking the Bear. Grand idea.

A sensible decision. There is no vision, plan or end game on the table. It just to bomb the crap out of ISIS and let's see what happens. Only an idiot would sign up for that. Better to sit it out an evaluate when there is an agreed plan with an expected outcome.

I believe it has more to do with not wanting to escalate problems with Russia .

All of EU including UK have suffered huge losses because US pressure to pose sanctions.

The renewal of sanctions is coming up next month.

Then the crazy influx of so called refugees , which UK most certainly do not want.

Perhaps also otter MP's started to wonder how and why Russia managed to do more damage in few weeks than they did in over a year.

It's about foreign policy. America, Britain, France, and a few more countries want Assad to go, Russia wants him to stay, thats the only reason Russia is there today, protecting its own interests, Like Any Country would do, as for their bombing who knows who they are killing.
