The prime minister will summon the cabinet on Thursday to discuss the government's response to the suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria.

Ministers will consider the options for backing military action threatened by the United States and its allies.

Theresa May is prepared to take action against the Assad regime in Syria without first seeking parliamentary consent, sources have told the BBC.

No Cabinet? No Problem!

The ninth paragraph:

Mrs May is still yet to unequivocally point the finger of blame at the Assad government but she has spoken of the need for action "if" the regime is found to bear responsibility.

Since The White Helmets — a highly respected joint venture of MI6 and Al Queda — say Assad is a bad guy, what other evidence is needed ?

I think what is really going on her is she doesn’t want to support Trump too strongly.

Maybe she will seek factual evidence?

Just read that UK British forces were embedded w/ Jaish Al Islam in Douma. They are in Russian custody. Oh, some were dead. Apparently, that was the reason for the CW hoax, and also the foot dragging by JAI to leave. All so, demands for curtains on busses.

Let’s see if the challenged Prime Minister May figures it out. Trump goes on a rant complaining that the US has squandered trillions in the Mideast entanglement and states soon he will be pulling US troops out of Syria. Uh oh America first ! The Globalists become frightened and enraged. Think they may have some Syrian officers and key officials on their payroll? They do what they have to do. What’s four hundred gassed Syrians when the world is at stake? Trump forgets all about withdrawal, starts ranting about missiles and war, and soon any reconciliation between the two great nationalist powers, the US and Russia, becomes less likely. The Globalists, the EU bureaucrats, UN parasites are delighted. If May can’t figure it out, thrusts Britain into a useless and debilitating military adventure, her government will fall and the pro EU Labor left will rule Britain. The Globalists will be delighted.

That is probably what is going on. Another military action in the Middle East is not going to be stunningly popular in Britain. If she goes in too enthusiastically it might damage the government she leads fatally, especially if it doesn’t come out well, and the May government is not strong as it is.
