The failure of a vote endorsing military intervention in Syria in Britain’s Parliament House early Friday Morning means that a US-led military strike on the troubled country is less likely to happen. While not binding, the vote sends a resounding message to the British PM David Cameron said he believed a “tough response” was needed in the face of the Syrian Government’s alleged use of chemical weapons.
