UK has new Syria chemical evidence - David Cameron
2013-09-06
[BBC.CO.UK] The UK has fresh evidence of the use of chemical weapons in Damascus, David Cameron
... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ...
 told the BBC as he arrived in Russia for the G20 summit.

Scientists at the Porton Down laboratories have been "examining samples" from Syria's capital, he said.

The Ministry of Defence confirmed reports that they found traces of sarin gas on cloth and soil samples.

Mr Cameron also denied claims he had "no hand to play" over Syria after his Commons defeat on UK military action.

He said the UK would lead calls for more action on aid for refugees and push for fresh peace talks.

#2  It's $hit like this that makes us all cynical. Manufacturing evidence on demand? Why not wait for proof BEFORE you make the call? Oh, that's right, didn't think you needed it then.
