9 [/ P$ r( j! a, T$ wOn Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians using a deadly nerve agent.
! m$ @- m6 Q4 W8 ?2 J2 }4 yAssad 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.

/ i: X5 _& H; }. pTonight I ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched.
c7 E( Q% Y1 K* oIt is in this vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons.
$ P3 R: k3 C; i2 v1 y+ EThere 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 x1 k' C% x% n6 @4 X$ [0 R( iYears of previous attempts at changing Assad’s behaviour have all failed and failed very dramatically.9 s' w1 q& [! l
As a result the refugee crisis continues to deepen and the region continues to destabilise, threatening the United States and its allies.
$ Y! P- z1 v8 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.
