Is the PM out of her mind? During the height of the Cold War orders like this were rare and issued only in the face of real threats to national security or interest. How the hell does who rules Syria meet either?
Bill Clinton once said that he was disappointed that he never had the opportunity to be a war president. )I guess Kosovo didn't count.)
Clinton said that because war presidents like Lincoln and FDR are usually rated higher than non-war presidents.
Maybe the PM is thinking the same way. Maybe she wants to be the next Churchill.
