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...

danny; but that's nothing to do with the supposed and unproven 'chemical attacks' and it has been ongoing for 7 years, and btw doesn't that look a rather staged photo, do you think those young men are real 'medics'?
and how has the US, British, and French attack done anything to alleviate the civil war between the so many different factions there ?

How many of that 500 were human shields, Danny.

If you had people firing rockets down on you and your family every day, you'd expect/demand the government do something about it.
The way some of the people on here talk, you'd think Assad was randomly murdering his own people because, I don't know, he feels like it.

Did I just read that???
You’ve obviously glossed over the fact that he considers innocent men, women and children as combatants to be routed via chemical weapons!
Wake up and smell what you’re shovelling....

You're going to look such a fool, chilli, when the truth comes out.
----------------
Nah, reckon you've got the drop on me there, champ!
So you're saying that despite all documentary evidence and witness testimony by news crews who filmed the dead bodies that Assad in fact did not and never has used CW on his own population and the Russians are in fact correct that this was all staged by MI6 et al?
If so these boards are obviously honoured to have what appears to be the leader of the opposition in our midst!

From thinkprogress.org:
We went to Douma today — we got exclusive access — and we were brought into… the town where the alleged chemical attack happened,” OANN correspondent Pearson Sharp stated Monday afternoon, later clarifying that the outlet had been escorted to a town “close to” where the attack took place, a block and a half away, but not the site of the alleged attack itself.
It goes on:
OANN and Sharp’s reporting falls short in many respects, but perhaps most glaring is its apparent inability to provide concrete evidence to support any of its wild claims.
Despite stating that his report is “not propaganda,” for instance, much of what Sharp relays is based on information passed to him during a visit arranged by Syrian government forces, which have traditionally relied on mass disinformation campaigns in the wake of deadly attacks to twist the narrative in their favor. Sharp also clearly states that he was unable to visit the site of the actual attack himself.

I can't see the US and France delaying until Westminster had talked about it; either we supported our allies and participated in joint action to help prevent further gas attacks, or we tacitly approved by not being part of it. There was no lack of urgency then, the decision had to be made. If the prime minister considered the former to be the right thing to do then it was right to make the decision without procrastination.
