UK leader offers direct signal supporting strikes on Syria
Sunday, 19 July, 2015
Prime Minister David Cameron says Britain needs to step up and take a greater role in seeking to destroy Islamic State group militants in Syria.
The British leader has offered his most direct signal to date that his government will seek authorization from Parliament to expand his country’s role in supporting the United States and other allies in attacking the militants. In remarks made to to NBC’s “Meet the Press” in an interview airing Sunday, he said, “I want Britain to do more.”
Cameron said, “we have to destroy this caliphate, whether it is in Iraq or in Syria.”
Britain has been carrying out surveillance and air-to-air refueling over Syria and launching attacks on neighboring Iraq. Defense Secretary Michael Fallon has argued recently that lawmakers should also consider backing airstrikes.
