Cameron and Obama relaunch Blair and Bush's disastrous War on Terror
Last week President Obama set out a
plan to consolidate and grow his bombing campaign in Iraq and
extend it to Syria. If there was any uncertainty that David
Cameron would back the plan, it was quickly cleared up when the
Prime Minister over ruled foreign secretary Phillip Hammond who
suggested that, because of issues of legality, the UK would not
participate.
Since the new war on the Islamic State began last month, the US has already conducted 162 air strikes in Iraq and this new phase of Obama's plan began with air strikes in Iraq on Sunday, supported by a French reconnaissance mission. Saudi Arabia, one of the UK's most important allies in the region, has also committed to participate in air strikes in Syria despite its documented support for the Islamic State in Iraq.
The horrific killings by IS militants are being used to justify a new military intervention in Syria that the UK parliament voted against last year under the weight of public opinion. Over the coming days we must be vigilant and act to prevent further UK involvement in this new round of the War on Terror.
We do not know the exact timetable. The outcome of the Scottish referendum may delay Cameron, and he is due in New York next week. It may be from talks in the US that a coordinated attack is launched. We ask all our groups and supporters to petition against bombing of Iraq or Syria in the next few days and to be prepared to hold and support protests the day following a bombing involving British forces.
