The initial confidence of Western Leaders is being scrutinised by the Syrian opposition, and by Bachar al Assad in particular ! He has never had any hesitations whether to use Chemical Weapons to eliminate his opposition in a civil war !
The Report by the UNO investigation team is expected shortly but certain chemical tests need a long time before they can reveal their hidden truth. This gives more time for Bachar al Assad to cover traces and to prepare his defence against expected questions.
The puritan initiative by Cameron, who wanted "two" votes on what to do about Syria, was ambushed by Miliband and his henchmen who turned the debate and the vote into a political "Vote of Confidence" against the coalition.
Miliband smirks now, but may well regret his lack of "Statemanship" later in his career ! Even now some of those henchmen eye their own future possibilities !
The Cameron defeat hurt Obama but Obama has realised that he too must not neglect the "puritan" approach of electors in the USA ! The last word of the UNO report will not be published today as announced. First impressions yes, but the real report in two weeks time.
President Hollande realises now that a debate must take place in Parliament, but at present such a debate will not be followed by a vote. At present 64% of the people in French Opinion Polls are against France intervening in Syria for the time being. We must wait to see what happens this week in France ! and also elsewhere !
Bachar al Assad can still breathe comfortably except for just one last thing. He risks being accused of the mass extermination of civilians for using Chemical Weapons, and this is a Crime Against Humanity !
We will have to wait and watch what happens next !
