Should May Have Sought Parliamentary Approval?
She has entirely lost my support - such as it was- and will not lose any sleep over that perhaps, but there seems to be gathering condemnation at home and abroad e.g.

Yes. I don't particularly care about the legal niceties. There was no urgency required in this action (if it was due to chemical weapons) except for the American timetable, and therefore she was morally obliged to consult parliament as Cameron did. I imagine, however, that she was concerned about losing the vote and also that the US has learned from last time...

"Actually, it really was an unconstitutional action" And then you use (your presumably beloved) Bliar to back up your assertion!
As far as I can see she, nor any PM in the future, has any obligation to put to Parliament. Just because one started it doesnt mean it has to continue, after all they didnt before so perhaps Bliar was unconstitutional in doing it?
For the record I dont think she should have done it, but she has and I do understand why so I will stand grudgingly with the decision.
I really dont buy the argument she could wait though. By then any weapons would have been moved and action would have been pointless. I suspect COB is bitter he was not consulted whereas in the past people like Red Ed were. But COB cannot be trusted especially where Russia is concerned.

She could have recalled Parliament and put it to the vote. She would probably have had some support but now she faces the backlash on her own.
Why not let the inspectors carry out their investigations first.?
Isn't dropping bombs on a Chemical production factory a way of releasing more toxins into the surrounding areas.?
