Guardian: Reports " Support growing in Commons for bombing Isis in Syria, says Hammond...Foreign secretary tells Conservative conference that MPs are moving towards consensus on bombing Islamic State stronghold "
Lets Get Real:
The UK should be careful about getting to a arms contest with the Russians, the Syrian mess is complex, you have Russians planes with Syrian planes hitting any rebel that is a threat to Assad, while the US and its allies are hitting Daesh targets, while supporting moderate in Syria. What happens if moderate rebels supported by the US are attacked and the US air force is close by, do they watch, do they send a warning to the Russian planes, do they take action. The blog is very much a hawk, but one should always see what the next step is, it only takes a drunk Russian with missiles to shoot down a Western plane, then you have a crisis, that even President Obama can not waffle out of. The Syrian policy needs caution.
