Interesting debate in the House/

Comments from well briefed MPs

1. We ignore the lessons of Libya at our peril. Shambles prevails.
2. In Syria, the are far too many aircraft chasing far too few targets.

Given that co-ordination in that area is non-existent, I still think the UK should stay out of it. What will we achieve?

Finally, in the Suez crisis, CDS stated. "Yes Prime Minister, we can take Cairo, but then what?'. He got no answer. Given that in Syria there are countless rebel groups, what will they do if Assad is deposed and ISIL vanquished?
