General David Richards, the former Chief of Britain’s Defence Staff, said “pin-prick” cruise missile strikes could aggravate rather than resolve the Syrian conflict.

“I think the scale of involvement to make a decisive difference in Syria would be so huge that it is something that we, at the moment, cannot sensibly contemplate,” he told The Sun newspaper.

This whole scenario looks devoid of sense. A few cruise missiles as the White House seems to favour would certainly make no difference. Cameron’s Jihadi irregulars on the ground in Syria will be expecting a bit more than that. Is Britain leading this venture? In which case where? Is someone being set-up here?
