FabSwingers.com forum: Miliband and 10 years since

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Did anyone spot Ed Miliband being the one to sound sensible and prime ministerial over Syria?

It's ten years since the invasion of Iraq. Have we gleaned anything from that experience?

Did Cameron see Syria as his chance to look good in a war situation? Even when a "dossier" was mentioned?

I suggested a few days ago that Cameron might see this as his Falklands moment.

Miliband stole his scone.

He has indeed.

I'm just glad Labour has done what the opposition should have ten years ago.

BBC2 is about to start a Daily Politics special on the debate about Syria.

God knows what that imbecile Cameron thought he was doing wanting to intervene. I notice that B.Liar is saying that we should bomb them. I even agreed with Clare Short yesterday when she said that she was suspicious of Cameron wanting to go to war before the UN can even compile their report.

Nigel Farage spot on when he said that we should stay out & not get involved in other peoples wars. Let Allah decide what happens in Syria.

Someone seems to have had a word in Millibands ear as 2 days ago his tone was not that dissimilar to Camerons..

only yesterday he came out with the 'we should wait line'..

which I think is the only correct option..

then we do what exactly..?

cant hit Assad's remaining stockpile of 'nasties'..

degrade his infrastructure perhaps..

then wait for his reaction which will come I suggest..

the whole thing looks not right, Assad's regime if they did authorise the chemical attack is at one of the strongest positions they have been in for the last 2 years..

why use them now..?

and with the UN in town..?

he has the rebels on the run, Hezbollah helped to tip the scales when they got involved..

'Intelligence', yeh right where have we heard that before..

and the almost obscene position whereby its 'morally wrong and a red line' to use chemicals which have killed far less than conventional ordnance..

big naughty can of worms may be about to be opened..

The Government now has it's legal advice that it would be legal to intervene, before the UN report is compiled.

Miliband has Cameron backbenchers on his side this time.

maybe that's what swayed him in his bid to appear statesman like..

I think that and the public feeling that we should wait. Plus a rally planned for Saturday.

I'd rather see all the military back home. And maybe when Britain is in a good place, eg, strong economy, low unemployment rate, no home grown terrorists etc, then we can start looking at helping everyone else

But then we will end back in the mess we are now, let other countries sort their own problems out we have enough of our own

With no decision today will Cameron take the initiative to compile more evidence for an intervention?

It's not a very convincing case yet.
