Cameron downplays possibility of military action in Syria
Source: JPost
British Prime Minister David Cameron said Thursday that there was limited but growing evidence that the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad had used chemical weapons in Syria, but added that it was unlikely that this would trigger British military action.
Cameron's comments came after the White House said on Thursday that Assad's government had probably used chemical arms on a small scale, but that US President Barack Obama needed proof before he would act.

Cameron stated that he would not like to see British troops on the ground in Syria, but he does support increasing pressure on the Assad regime.
