Fears Continue To grow That The Syrian Government Is On The Verge Of Collapsing
Former UK General Warns Western Troops Could Trigger Syria 'Collapse' -- BBC
Sending Western troops into Syria too soon could create a power vacuum and a "sudden, uncontrolled state collapse", a retired British general has warned.
Prof Sir Paul Newton said weapons of mass destruction could fall into the wrong hands if the state disintegrated.
His warning comes in a report co-authored with three other Exeter University academics.
Foreign Secretary William Hague has said he would not "rule out any option to save lives" in Syria.
Sir Paul, a former lieutenant general, was part of a strategic military planning team and helped conduct operations in Afghanistan, Kosovo, East Timor, Northern Ireland and Sierra Leone during 38 years in the Army..
The report - written along with Professor Gareth Stansfield, Dr Andrew Rathmell and Professor Jonathan Githens-Mazer - concludes that premature military action by the West could lead to the increased destabilisation of the already volatile situation in Syria.
