David Cameron's case for air strikes in Syria is examined in several of Friday's papers, and the Sun sums up the key talking point with the headline: "You and whose army?"
It says senior defence officials have "disowned" Mr Cameron's claim that 70,000 moderate Syrian troops are ready to fight so-called Islamic State (IS).
The Times says government officials fear the claim will become Mr Cameron's "dodgy dossier" - a reference to documents relied upon by Tony Blair in the build-up to the 2003 Iraq war.
Officials were not worried about the validity of the figure, the paper says, but they were reluctant for Mr Cameron to use a specific number as it could become the "one thing that everyone latches on to", like Mr Blair's claim that Saddam Hussein could have launched weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes.
