Cameron has blundered after blunder he has cut the military to the lowest it has been since the Napoleonic era. He scrapped of the Nimrod project with the planes already coming off the production line. the navy is getting two carriers that will not be capable of launching or retrieving aircraft unless they have vertical take off and landing capability. So we can't have French or other NATO allied aircraft landing on them. The army is being reduced to around about 82,000 soldiers. But he's talking or was talking about taking action in Syria. He talks the talk but can't walk the walk. But by his complete stupidity recalling the house of commons to debate and vote over Syria, he's made a fool of not only himself but the country. Britain's standing in the world has been greatly diminished, in fact we have become a laughing stock. He may have won the debate if he had waited till the UN has come up with its report over the gas attack, and in the light of the last nights report of Syrian aircraft dropping a napalm type devise on a school would have gone a long way to alter peoples opinion of Assad. We may have damaged our relationship with America for a little while as the French now cosy up to the Americans, but they will also remember than the French didn't back them or us over the Iraq invasion. We have stood shoulder to shoulder with the Americans over the past decades whilst the French have been fair weather friends. Cameron lost the vote by 13 votes yet 93 members of parliament were not in the house. If Cameron wants to get back respect he has to do a Harold Macmillan's and perform a night of the long knives himself and prune out his ministers who voted against their government. The longer he waits the more his authority diminishes, but perhaps that might be a good thing for the country. He's weak and ineffectual, with the amount of back peddling he has performed over the past two and a half years he should be in a circus as a trick cyclist.
