Britain Prepares Military Plans For Syria, Parliament Recalled

Prime Minister David Cameron recalled Parliament to debate the best approach to Syria.

Stressing he had not yet taken a decision either way, Cameron condemned last Wednesday’s reported chemical attack in the suburbs of Damascus as “ghastly”.

“This is not about getting involved in a Middle Eastern war or changing our stance in Syria or going further into that conflict,” Cameron told reporters in his first public comments on the matter. “It’s about chemical weapons. Their use is wrong and the world shouldn’t stand idly by.”

Cameron’s decision to recall parliament came after his spokesman said plans were being drawn up for possible military action. It sets the stage for a tough debate on Thursday that will end in a vote, the outcome of which remains uncertain.
