Guardian - Labour Live: Reports on Shadow Foreign Secretary Hillary Benn's policy towards Syria and air strikes, " who has been battling to maintain party unity on the issue of airstrikes, told the party conference on Monday that the party would support effective action in Syria, while ruling out backing UK troops on the ground. John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor and a close ally of Jeremy Corbyn, has suggested Labour MPs may be a given a free vote if Cameron brings a fresh motion to the Commons supporting airstrikes in Syria.. "
Lets Get Real:
This time PM David Cameron has to win a vote on Syria, thus he will not go to the House of Commons in less he sure that he can get it through his own Party and with the support of Labour MPs. The policy should be simple, air strikes on Daesh in Syria, but no US or UK ground troops for Syria, let the Russians have the body bags, also there needs an understanding that Assad can not be a long term part of the peace process, he must go in to exile, Moscow in winter is nice. IF Russia and the US can get deal on Syria it might open channels to back channel talks on a better relationship, as long as Russia does not teach those East Ukraine rebels how to create a dirty bomb, that would cause a serious problem in the 2nd Cold War. Thus we wait to see if Obama and Putin can cut a deal, that benefits both.
