"SNIP..............................
David Cameron and Barack Obama last night agreed to take military action against Syria, the Sunday People has reported.
The US president sealed the deal in a 40-minute phone call to the Prime Minister at his holiday retreat in Cornwall.
The two leaders agreed that Syrian tyrant Bashar al-Assad was responsible for using chemical weapons against children.
Mr Obama and Mr Cameron will discuss the military options in the next few days.

I would think this is something for them to decide. Right now we have 2 nations, US ans England making the decision to attack.

vetoing it. France is involved too. I'm sure Canada has Obama's back.

The UN didn't authorize the inspectors to go to the site of the attack until tomorrow. I bet the UN doesn't let investigators investigate citing that it's to dangerous. Who needs evidence any right?
