Amanda Swisten: More Former UK Military Leaders Oppose Syria Attacks

General Francis Richard Dannatt

More senior members of the British military have been warning about the potential disastrous consequences of a US-UK military strike on Syria, the Guardian reported yesterday. General Lord Dannatt, former head of the British army, said: "It's wrong. Because although undoubtedly by any moral standards at all using chemical weapons against your own people — which is what on the balance of probabilities it now seems Assad has done — [is wrong], this does not constitute an open invitation for the international community to impose themselves on the internal affairs of another country."
He told the BBC that the international community was "fractured" on the issue and that one of the many unknowns about Syria was "what the effect of these strikes would be on the developments and consequences of the civil conflict."
Dannatt later told Channel 4 News, that Prime Minister David Cameron needed to use the debate in Parliament to convince the British people that military action is the right step. "A clear case will only be made if a strategic context of how such an intervention can be made is laid out clearly. For the objectives, the beginning, the middle, and the end how it's all going to finish."

General Sir David Richards, who only retired from his post as chief of the defense staff earlier this summer, is understood to have previously cautioned against attacking Syria.
On Aug. 27, former Rear Admiral Chris Parry said he believed London and Washington were repeating a mistake by turning to the military before properly establishing their objectives. "More responsibility needs to be thrown at Russia and China," Parry said. "Instead of sending cruise missiles into Syria we should be sending diplomatic cruise missiles into Russia and China. We need to make it clear that they have complicity in this." There is no taking sides in the Syria conflict, he said. "We are not sure who we are supposed to be supporting, because they may be enemies of ours. When the whole of the Middle East is in foment you do not need to throw another grenade in."
Former UK ambassador to Syria, Sir Andrew Green, urged Russia and China to use their influence against Assad rather than military force, and former British ambassador to Washington, Sir Christopher Meyer, told the BBC: "It cannot be in the British national interest to see Assad disintegrate under the pressure of cruise missile attacks, and whatever else may be done, such that his stocks of chemical weapons fall out of his control into the hands of the extremist Jihadists among the rebels. This is why this decision on what to do next is truly the decision from hell."
