The House of Commons foreign affairs committee posed the following question to David Cameron, pinpointing what is arguably the central flaw in his plan for the UK to join the US bombing campaign in Syria: “Which ground forces will take, hold, and administer territories captured from Isil in Syria?”
In his response to the committee (pp.18–20) Cameron outlined the forces he claimed could achieve those objectives. As he explained in his statement to the House of Commons on 26 November: “we believe that there are around 70,000 Syrian opposition fighters, principally of the Free Syrian Army, who do not belong to extremist groups, and with whom we can co-ordinate attacks on ISIL.”
