Cameron: Do we sit back and wait for IS to attack us?

Cameron says in his opening speech that the long-term solution to Syria’s civil war is forming a government that “that represents all of its people and who works with us to defeat the evil of ISIL (IS) for good.”

The prime minister stressed that IS is a threat to British security and must be urgently dealt with.

“The threat is very real. Do we work with our allies to degrade and destroy this threat? Or do we sit back and wait for [IS] us to attack us?”

“This is an ISIL first strategy. There are the threat. They are the ones we should be targeting.”
