My fellow Americans,
0 a- @0 M* c" a9 O( S7 G; N$ Q# ]+ oOn Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians using a deadly nerve agent.
( ?; H# B: n7 j/ O- h, CAssad 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.
4 a. t7 V, |2 v+ bNo child of god should ever suffer such horror.
5 E7 `8 E5 z/ n; Y! gTonight I ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched.1 S i: u9 o( b$ t& `2 x# b5 V
It is in this vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons.
8 i# g1 {$ l4 g' V7 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.( L7 _/ `0 j4 Z* z7 }8 U
Years of previous attempts at changing Assad’s behaviour have all failed and failed very dramatically.7 c5 l8 G* \- y- q, A m1 f/ g
As a result the refugee crisis continues to deepen and the region continues to destabilise, threatening the United States and its allies.
( ]+ R$ N/ w5 o2 J. A+ b6 i$ P. @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.) w& R3 ?; l) h; x+ L
We ask for god’s wisdom as we face the challenge of our very troubled world.
) S& o' [# {9 `6 F$ }9 ?We pray for the lives of the wounded and for the souls of those who have passed.
, Y8 C: J( g' i) ^And we hope that as long as America stands for justice that peace and harmony will in the end prevail.& h2 P! a( B$ @7 N e5 g
Goodnight and god bless America and the entire world. Thank you.
