Cameron: 'unthinkable' attack Syria with "overwhelming opposition"

 The attack seemed imminent against Syrian territory seems to go dilating, after British opposition questioned the relevance and strength of the evidence used to justify intervention and remember the experience with Iraq, involving the country in a conflict whose consequences are experienced until today. This Thursday (29/08/2013), Prime Minister David Cameron spoke before the House of Commons the government's position on the conflict, but qualified and said it would be "unthinkable" to take military action against Syria if there was an "overwhelming opposition" in the Security Council of the UN, but in his opinion a "humanitarian intervention" would be legal, but does not count with the approval of the UN.

Also, Cameron said it was "highly likely", according to the intelligence, that the regime of Bashar al Assad had used chemical gas attack, according to some sources, killing at least 300 deaths last 21 August in the outskirts of Damascus. "It is not taking a position on the conflict, not to invade, or regime change," but to "respond to a war crime," said Cameron. But he acknowledged that there was not enough evidence. "National Security" The prime minister said that this "is not like Iraq," adding that it was necessary to learn "what went wrong" then. Meanwhile, Labour leader Ed Miliband called for evidence before decisions "and not vice versa", did not rule out that his party would support the government.

According to a government report, a military intervention is justified only if there was "convincing evidence, accepted by the international community, humanitarian danger scale end." Meanwhile, France and Germany called for UN inspectors found in Syria to give his report on what field collected shortly before the Security Council, to make it possible to take a decision as soon as possible to "meet its responsibility for this monstrous crime." While Denmark said he would support an attack politically, Italy distanced itself ensuring that it will not join if you do not have the authorization of the Security Council.

Egypt, meanwhile, do not support in any case. On Wednesday night, meanwhile, the U.S. president, Barrack Obama attempted to convince Americans saying the Syrian intervention was related to national security. "If we say in a clear and decisive but very limited 'stop doing this', that can have a positive impact on our national security long term," he said in a televised interview. And on Thursday, the White House said any response would be limited, rejecting comparisons with the U.S. led war in Iraq.
