US leaves ‘unreliable’ British out in the cold

US leaves ‘unreliable’ British out in the cold

"British military chiefs are being ejected from US meetings about Syria in the first direct consequence of David Cameron’s refusal to join military action.

The role of senior British officers based at US Central Command in Tampa, Florida, has been downgraded because they cannot be trusted with high-level intelligence about a conflict with which they are no longer involved, military sources say........."

Could be a "need to know" situation but the title will be sure to irritate the Brits.

As a side note I read somewhere this weekend that POTUS was planning a trip to Russia and said he would meet with a GLTB group - since Russia is so down on them. I would think at this tense time that would just irritate the Ruskies.
