The UK and Syria - Syrian Crisis

Guardian: Reports that the UK Foreign Secretary William Hague has stated that should the UN peace plan fail for Syria then all options are on the table.


Lets Get Real:

In the case of Syria folks the UK wont move a finger without the US going along, also it would help the Coalition Government if any action is approved by the UN Security Council as was the case with Libya. The US wont move in less Syria become a major civil war and a threat to the region. Also President Obama does not want to lose his liberal base, the Wars in Afghanistan, Iraq were not popular with the left, as Obama didn't end Iraq in a quick manner and his surge in Afghanistan have not gone down well with the extreme left in the US. Also it has to be asked does the US left support the fact that Obama is the last call on the use of drone strikes in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It has to be asked is the US left happy with the fact that POTUS has used the drones more that Bush 43, also his leadership from behind in Libya is a negative either way, the left was not happy that the US was action and the right thought a President should lead from the front. Also the terror prison in Cuba is still open, in many respects Obama makes Clinton look like a uber liberal. It can be argued that the US left forgot that Obama is a Chicago Pol, they are not known for fighting fair, they fight to win.
