Britain Not 'Seeking' to Topple Assad
Britain is considering a "serious response" to the use of chemical weapons in Syria but is not seeking to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said on Tuesday.
"What we're considering is a serious response... What we're not considering is regime change, trying to topple the Assad regime," Clegg said, after it was announced parliament is to be recalled from recess for a debate on possible action.
