Guardian: Reports " David Cameron has held out the possibility of extending British air strikes against the “psychopathic” forces of the Islamic State (Isis) from Iraq into Syria, saying there were no legal barriers to a change in the mission. "
Lets Get Real:
The blog is not a five star general, but its easy to work out the next moves, the UK starts with bombing IS in Iraq, after that it will be Syria, you can not leave Syria alone as it would allow IS to hide its troops in Syria, then strike when the UK has withdraw after doing half the job. The IS base in Syria has to be taken down, this will take the bombing of the US, the Arab allies and the UK. Also there will be the need for ground troops, rather than call them boots on the ground, they will be Special Forces, in fact boots on the ground, but its a piece of PR to keep the public happy. Then we come to Assad, this regime also needs to be taken down, thus the US and its allies will have to destroy IS first then Assad. This is long and costly operation, there are going to be ups and downs, the public can not allow itself to be haunted by the 2nd Gulf War, there is no time for that kind of soul searching or muttering, time for action and not talks.
