Are they going straight for the jugular in Assad and his family, once again murdering a sovereign leader, in yet another public execution in front of the world.
Or the Generals really running this war, or will it be a shock and awe type bombing to put the fear of god in the Syrian people ?
The whole thing is totally wrong and can only end badly for all parties.

That was until Parliament grew a set and stood up to Cameron. Never saw that one coming.
I doubt the attack is 'imminent'. The USA usually gives a 48 hour 'get the heck out of the country' notice and it hasn't done that yet. Unless Obama is skipping that. God only knows what the heck he's doing ...

I would tend to think that we will see missiles going in before the weekend is over.
Something I'm not getting though...why the warnings? The Obama administration has been threatening for the last few days and it seems that the syrian military targets are acquired. This is just me but if I was in the syrian government, wouldn't I empty these targets before an upcoming strike? Why not telegraph them "Hey...we're about to blow the #### out of you..."
Or how about chemical facilities? If those are targets, what are the repercussions of those blowing up to dust? What about the neighborhoods surrounding those?
Something wrong here. Like we're missing something...

I don't think anyone did. It was scandalous - and will become highly controversial as time goes on. The British are a humane people and will not want to sit idly by whilst repeated images of genocide are beamed into their homes.
