Claiming to have new evidence in the debate over the use of WMD’s in Syria, UK PM David Cameron doesn’t appear to have any confusion as to who drew the so called “red line,” initially invoked by Barack Obama.
He said: “I absolutely believe that, having set a red line on the further big use of chemical weapons, it would be wrong if America was to step back and, having set that red line, to do nothing. I think that would send an appalling signal to President Assad and also to dictators elsewhere.”
While the new evidence may prove that WMDs were used in a Damascus suburb, it at least appears to be somewhat unclear as to who may have deployed them. Via the Washington Times:
