3 u) X* d! |* q1 {On Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians using a deadly nerve agent.0 E" P6 K f$ w, A2 ~7 p
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 X& s. K- o" N& p2 @4 o5 sNo child of god should ever suffer such horror.* G# i* _% H2 G
Tonight I ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched.
; c% K3 ~( K# T7 u; qIt is in this vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons.- L6 O& D! [% G0 |# F A" D" c1 V
There 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.
' N. k/ s# x$ K+ j2 g' tYears of previous attempts at changing Assad’s behaviour have all failed and failed very dramatically.
& B1 O' l+ c6 F0 ]* c kAs a result the refugee crisis continues to deepen and the region continues to destabilise, threatening the United States and its allies.
r9 }+ e/ S+ ? U0 JTonight 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.6 V+ I& x* H3 s) s
We ask for god’s wisdom as we face the challenge of our very troubled world.
