David Cameron was rushed into holding a “quick” Commons vote on military intervention in Syria by the White House, Cabinet minister Ken Clarke has indicated.
Mr Clarke, the Minister Without Portfolio, has disclosed that the Americans “wanted us to make this vote very quickly”.
He said that the Government “did not have time” to ensure that it had enough support from MPs to win the vote.

...and not content to screw up only our nation, Obama now makes demands on other leaders so their administrations can appear shaky.
He’s really got a penchant for doing negative things associate with Great Britain.

Well - it IS how they managed to pass Obamacare - and the stimulus.
Up until now it was working well for them

Obama 4-point Syria plan: 1) Surprise Congress by asking for war authority. 2) Play golf. 3) Make some phone calls. 4) Leave country.

Under Obama, the USA has declined, had their credit downgraded, and lost ground on constitutional guarantees under the 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments. But the world has also suffered, and slipped into a dangerously disjointed, everybody for themselves, mentality. Allies for decades no longer have common goals, but instead each country acts only for their own interest. Mr. Obama did not untie the World, turn back the rising tides, or heal the globe. He has ripped it all apart.

What a complete pack of lies! The government “did not have time to ensure it had the neccesary votes”???? Nonsense. If they didnt think they had the votes they would either delay the motion or modify it. The very fact that they went ahead with it means that they miscalculated the feeling in the House of Commons (and in the country too).

The British Parliament is right to vote “no” when being rushed into voting to go to war.
