British PM warns of lengthy Syria Campaign

British Prime Minister David Cameron said airstrikes against Daesh terrorists in Syria are complex and difficult.

Britain’s military action in Syria is going to take time, The Guardian quoted Cameron as having said.

"This is going to take time. It is complex and it is difficult what we are asking our pilots to do, and our thoughts should be with them and their families as they commence this important work,” he further added.

The airstrikes came just hours after the Commons voted decisively by 397 to 223 in favour of military action after an impassioned and sometimes heated debate lasting nearly 11 hours.

Cameron said there would be strong support from Britain’s allies. "I’ve just been on the telephone to Chancellor Merkel of Germany, and the Germans are stepping up what they are doing in the region,” he said.

"And there will be very strong support from Muslim countries, Gulf countries, that have asked us to take part in this action, as part of a process that will actually help to deliver the political and diplomatic change that we need in Syria as well,” he added.
