France, the UK and also Germany intend to ratchet up military
activity in Syria, purportedly to attack ISIS, although the previous time
Cameron went to Parliament for its approval to bomb, the purpose was regime change to remove
Assad, ISIS was not the target.
Although Corbyn may oppose
this military venture, it seems many of his Labour Party colleagues sitting in
the House of Commons and in his Shadow Cabinet will not follow his example and will most likely vote with the Tories.
Dennis
Skinner, however, in support of Corbyn’s position ,explained:
“Is it not essential in any prelude to a war to be sure of
our allies and to be sure of the objectives? Is it not a fact that Turkey has
been buying oil from ISIL? They used Turkey’s trucks to store it. Turkey has
been bombing the Kurds, and the Kurds are fighting ISIL. Turkey shot down a
Russian jet, even though Russia wants to fight ISIL. The Prime Minister has the
objective of getting rid of Assad. A Russian ally has the opposite objective.
What a crazy war—enemies to the right of us, enemies to the left of us. Keep
out.”
