My fellow Americans,2 |( c% A4 l6 w6 q6 r* Z0 G9 A: G
On Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians using a deadly nerve agent.- S8 b# j2 @# C1 W3 S8 a
Assad 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.0 ~. m8 G+ `% i3 T4 c
No child of god should ever suffer such horror.7 ?7 w3 G! T: ]4 q* a; ^) Z# @ |
Tonight I ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched.6 S7 p2 ~& L1 ~/ U% W# U a
It is in this vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons.
$ h( C6 x$ ?& i3 ~" CThere 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.
, o9 \, t6 J+ ? _. s/ v8 T! CYears of previous attempts at changing Assad’s behaviour have all failed and failed very dramatically.
9 s9 X7 U) H5 i: qAs a result the refugee crisis continues to deepen and the region continues to destabilise, threatening the United States and its allies. ~ c1 ^0 v$ L
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.3 t+ T0 c& m- i
We ask for god’s wisdom as we face the challenge of our very troubled world.
