There's no way for it to pass, with Russia and China blocking. I get the feeling the decision's made, but the US is reluctant, under pressure from its allies to be policeman again. Cameron's desperate to be seen as more macho.
Its so they can say "well we tried to go through the proper channels". Either way missiles will be fired.
Without a doubt but it won't stop the Uk/US now. This is just for show
That's a blatant acknowledgment that the US/UK have no respect for the UN and are prepared to act belligerent, and there appears to be glee in your words over the prospect.

Maybe not as fast as some thought. Also the UN has already came out and said they do not seek any Military Solution. Moreover Ban Ki moon came out today and said the UN Inspectors need more time anyways.
US still defining objectives of strike on Syria
The Obama administration is still defining the central objectives of a potential military strike on Syria and considering possible Syrian government reprisals, even as U.S. intelligence agencies prepare additional evidence to show the Bashar Assad government's responsibility for last week's alleged chemical weapons attack, two senior administration officials said Wednesday.
One of the officials also said the administration is considering more than a single set of military strikes. "The options are not limited just to one day" of strikes, the official said, adding that no additional U.S. defensive weapons have been deployed in the region in anticipation of Syria reprisals. The U.S. already has Patriot anti-missile batteries in Jordan and Turkey.
In broad terms, the U.S. and international objective of striking Syria would be to damage the Syrian government's military and weapons enough to make it difficult to conduct more chemical weapons attacks, and to make Assad think twice about using chemical weapons again.
One administration official said Wednesday the administration also is concerned that if Assad is not punished, dictatorial leaders of other nations in possession of chemical weapons, like North Korea, might see the failure to act as a sign that they, too, could get away with using the weapons.
Administration officials have said Assad's actions posed a direct threat to U.S. national security, providing Obama with a potential legal justification for launching a strike without authorization from the United Nations or Congress. However, officials did not detail how the U.S. was directly threatened by an attack contained within Syria's borders. Nor did they present concrete proof that Assad was responsible.
The U.S. and its international partners were unlikely to undertake military action before Thursday. That's when British Prime Minister David Cameron will convene an emergency meeting of Parliament, where lawmakers are expected to vote on a motion clearing the way for a British response to the alleged chemical weapons attack.....snip~
US still defining objectives of strike on Syria
No glee at all actually however I have been calling for intervention in this genocide for about 12 months now. The problem is that countries like Russia are going to do whatever they want to do and it won't matter what evidence we put forward. So we go through the proper channels, present the evidence and when they still don't budge the US/UK take the necessary steps.

It's to bad that the US does have some respect for the UN. I wish it had none and left the organization. It's near useless and it's corrupt.
The statement you made makes an assumption that everybody else is not playing cards from the bottom of the deck. That ain't the case.
That's a blatant acknowledgment that the US/UK have no respect for the UN and are prepared to act belligerent, and there appears to be glee in your words over the prospect.
And that's an acknowledgement that the US/UK are playing from the bottom of the deck. And, if you don't want to play by the UN rules, you have to FIRST resign your membership.
I think this move by the UK was just to buy time to get everything in order before they go forward with any kind of strike.
When you go through the proper channels and your told NO. then missiles don't fly. Otherwise, what is the use of going through the proper channels?
But when the "evidence" is trumped up, why would they be obliged to accept it. If your not going to accept the results at the UN, then why does it exist. (Its rhetorical)
Wait a minute. Cameron is suggesting that the council hasn't lived up to its responsibilities in Syria, meaning Russia and Chinas vetoes on sanctions and use of force are irresponsible. It seems to me they think the west is acting irresponsible. And the resolution will include a condemnation of "Assad's chemical attack", the UN hasn't confirmed that, and there's far more evidence that the al Qaida affiliated insurgents launched the chemical attacks. I seriously doubt the Russians and the Chinese are going to accept this.
Oh Yeh! We'll kill a bunch of Syrians to stop the killing of Syrians. I can see that Syria is as big a threat to the USA as Saddam Hussein, even in his current state.
