My fellow Americans,
6 F( a% U w$ d& k7 l) O( J) POn Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians using a deadly nerve agent.) I$ }" y5 P* F( g/ \/ [
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.
9 T: W9 K& Y% d! B/ b- r6 o" `/ t, LNo child of god should ever suffer such horror.
+ W/ q3 a, v! M/ [% ]) n5 M, KTonight I ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched.
9 A3 N2 v3 e, x3 L# m6 D2 EIt is in this vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons., {1 w$ n4 f4 [
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.5 h- S, G. |0 q8 Q8 j4 {
Years of previous attempts at changing Assad’s behaviour have all failed and failed very dramatically.) F1 Z) X" B: D, `
As a result the refugee crisis continues to deepen and the region continues to destabilise, threatening the United States and its allies.
+ {/ y- \/ w. G0 sTonight 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.
0 b# I0 Y) W# G t7 PWe ask for god’s wisdom as we face the challenge of our very troubled world.
% S3 ?* A- s$ p5 R4 o' p, `4 @+ UWe pray for the lives of the wounded and for the souls of those who have passed.
