What is the risk of doing nothing? - Page 4

David Cameron has said that he will not vote again on the subject. the Labour lot are as always do not answer the questions put to them and fob it off. I for one hope he does not call for a second vote on it, why should he cut his throat twice so to speak.  members of his own party who voted him in the job went against him once why should he risk that again? i have said several times he made the mistake of not waiting a few days but i guess he thought he could at least bank on his own party to back him but not the case who needs people like that working along side you to stab you in the back. i know what i would do to them if i were in his shoes  those sort are not good for the party or the people they represent in the country. I would be sure to boot there arse,s as far as i could kick them, plus naming them publicaly
Now the French President does not normally ask for any mandate from his own government when it falls to these sort of matters the President normally say,s we do or we do not. But seeing how the Gr B and now the USA is doing similar he now has second thoughts on his own judgement.
THAT is no suprise to me they turn faster than the bloody wind can.

Putin is HOT looking and smart too !!! 


 

Obama should have kept his mouth shut, along with a few others.

The risk?
To whom?
it makes a big difference how you word it.

Gas?
It has strategic possibilities  over other means, especially inside ones own country where you do not want to destroy everything else.

That's why the world decided it was not acceptable long ago.
 

Steve1:    Oh, I think he'll risk it again, cos he thinks the odds are he'll
win the second time.  He may well be right about that.

Osborne is sounding more & more as though there will be a second attempt,
whatever 'Cam' says this week.
Meanwhile we have Clegg publicly going against the Coalition of which
his party is t'other half.  If you look for 'traitors' start with the LibDems.
Personally I think to label them any of them 'traitors' is unwarranted;  can they
really be traitors when they are just doing the PMs bidding by the back door ?
And seeming to actually represent their constituents, for once, in opposing
war mongering ?

At least say why you think anyone should risk a click on your link, Gouda. Your watchman bells must be clanging and a'banging! Now is certainly the much awaited moment in time to say: I told you so!

The Speaker of the House voices his support of military action against Syria, and urges fellow Republicans to do the same. 

John Boehner today: "We have enemies around the world that need to understand that we're not going to tolerate this type of behavior."

Ok, let me get this straight.  We will tolerate this behavior from any number of other nations, but not of our enemies (as a matter of fact).  This speaks directly to our interests and motives (which have nothing to do with the suffering of others or crimes against humanity).  I would also like a functional definition for the word "enemies".  I suppose we can now say that the term applies to any/all sovereign nations who do not embrace our interests, influence,"directives", and ultimatums.  Yet, we wonder... 

Anyone one who is still wondering will never get it.

If the world wants this type of weapon used it will be so.

No proof !!
Of anything yet, best remind our leaders of their past mistakes.

No, best remind ourselves.

The history is there.

D. Cameron said today that he will not ask for another vote? and rightfully so. the members of his party who voted against him are Traitors. They voted him into office so they should back him or if they have no faith in him then get him out of the job. To say that by asking a handful of the public what they think represents the whole nation is stupid. and that is what they did? to me a traitor in any form of life should be bought to book. in the armed Forces you followed orders no matter how distastful they were at times. That was what your job was to carry out orders given by senior officers. to not carry them out was at your own peril. but the fact was everyone knew why they were there so thought a lot but never questioned them, no different to the Back Benchers of any political Party they follow the orders of there Leader if not then as i said dump him if they have no faith in him
Mr Obama seems to be gaining the confidence of the Congress and if he does take some kind of action then the French will follow the USA but only if the USA lead the way. The Germans have said they think Assad  was responsible for the Gas Attacks, so if the USA take action i for one wish them well.

The Central Intelligence Agency was behind the overthrow of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh in 1953. It's been an open secret for decades, but last week, The George Washington University's National Security Archive released newly declassified documents proving it.

Sure glad we've put those days behind us.  Wouldn't want any of that $52 billion in national intelligence spending to go toward such a thing.
