Theresa May appeared to be preparing the ground for coordinated military action against Syria on Tuesday, as she pointed the finger at the Assad government for the chemical weapons attack in Douma and promised to ensure that those responsible were “held to account”. The prime minister’s comments came as the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, called for a vote in parliament before the UK joined any military action.
May told reporters in Birmingham: “The chemical weapons attack that took place on Saturday in Douma in Syria was a shocking and barbaric act. The use of chemical weapons cannot go unchallenged.”
“We’re rapidly reaching an understanding of what happened on the ground,” she added. “All the indications are that the Syrian regime was responsible, and we’ll be working with our closest allies to consider how we can ensure that those responsible are held to account, and also how we can prevent and deter the humanitarian catastrophe of the use of chemical weapons in the future.”
The prime minister is under pressure to make an early decision over whether the UK will join any military campaign, as Donald Trump adopts an increasingly bellicose tone.
May’s remarks were the strongest hint yet that the government was considering joining US-led action in response to the chemical weapons attack. She also questioned the role of the United Nations in investigating what happened on the ground, after Russia’s “appalling” use of its veto to water down plans for an independent UN-led inquiry.

This is Pretext. WHERE ARE THE FACTS?????
Isn’t that nice of May.
The nasty hag needs to send her people in. The US has no dog in the fight.
What is she going to do, bomb London?
Assad and chemical weapons...
Verifiable evidence, please?
Also, a logical explanation as to why Assad is allegedly using chemical weapons, please?
maybe she‘ll order a airstrike on McCrazy‘s house
No facts are needed when the Neocons and Globalists want war.
I can’t wait for the Colon Powell Powerpoint show!
Where are the facts . . . and where is our national interest?
I don’t see any benefit for the United States in attacking Syria. [Disclaimer, to avoid misunderstanding: I despise Assad. He is a brutal, terrorist-supporting thug.] Assad is less active in attacking the United States or Israel than any of his viable opposition leaders, all of whom are worse terrorists. We can either topple Assad, and end up with someone far worse, or we can allow him to win and finally end the Syrian civil war. My vote? Get completely out of Syria, and let Assad win.
See this jar here...this is the magic exlir that will kill a bazillion people!!
Bingo. No one likes Assad, but no one should like the Saudis either, for exactly the reasons you cited. But what comes after him, would be far worse.

I’m indicating willingness for military action against London.
Those bastards tried to overthrow our government, and until they answer for that I will consider the UK to be our enemy.
If Teresa is going over there personally to kick ass,
that might be worth watching.
Some how I know it will be some young men
who pay the price.
Isn’t the poisoning of the former Russian spy and his daughter questionable as to source, too? This is England, the home of malcontents who produced the dossier.
Everyone got sold on the idea except that pesky American public.
Without Parliamentary consent to boot - why?
Aside from all the war drums being pounded, is anybody keeping track of what rights and liberties our elected criminals are taking away from us while we are preoccupied with these goings on in the ME?
It’s a safe bet they are not ‘letting a good crisis go to waste’.
And held American conservative journalists on Terrorism charges before banning them from the country for trying to attend a free speech rally.
Oh...methinks the global do-gooders and NeoCons are not going to like you making them look like hypocrites.
I suppose they can always use the excuse ‘it was Clinton’.
