Watching C4 news tonight, clips from the Foreign affairs select committee meeting, Julian Lewis who we've heard much of, asked Fallon and some military sort what they actually meant by 70,000 'moderates' in Syria ready to step in.
Fallon *actually* said, head ever so slightly drooped, 'we'll have to look into it'
WTF?
And when Jon Snow reminded Benn that in Iraq, the Kurds who are doing some work fighting back I.S are actually being hammered by the Turks (our Allies fresh from pissing off Russia), he said 'oh it is complicated'.
I hope beyond hell that there are enough Tories out there ready to rebel, realising even for the sake of their own political asses this is a bad, bad move.
EDIT:
Good piece written by Corbyn.
Oh and Cameron just called Corbyn a 'terrorist sympathiser' again.
Comments underneath are heartening.
