On Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians using a deadly nerve agent.
5 {7 H" ]: }4 \2 d7 `. EAssad choked out the lives of innocent men, women and children. It was a slow and brutal death for so many. Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack.) |! `" j6 G( f- O
No child of god should ever suffer such horror.6 H/ {, w8 f! M
Tonight I ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched.
8 {2 R- l2 v. F7 UIt is in this vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons.
w9 P7 L* ]+ I S* BThere can be no dispute that Syria used banned chemical weapons, violated its obligations under the chemical weapons convention, and ignored the urging of the UN security council.* E, I7 P" V0 D }0 c
Years of previous attempts at changing Assad’s behaviour have all failed and failed very dramatically.
/ [6 _; p% b) n: ?- {% f( j/ KAs a result the refugee crisis continues to deepen and the region continues to destabilise, threatening the United States and its allies./ z K: \* \ {, |. b! N
Tonight I call on all civilised nations to join us in seeking to end the slaughter and bloodshed in Syria, and also to end terrorism of all kinds and all types./ [, p: l/ _3 N3 P
We ask for god’s wisdom as we face the challenge of our very troubled world.
