On Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians using a deadly nerve agent.
* A8 X+ |+ S2 }* b7 m1 I0 BAssad 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.1 H" w$ ^3 v, t* e1 V
No child of god should ever suffer such horror.( I5 x6 G3 L5 t( e" ]8 D7 R
Tonight I ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched.
' P0 p. D3 n/ i' ?6 a( k& |! d8 RIt is in this vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons.
/ U$ x2 G: u+ o+ M3 x3 |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.
# T. ]! H h5 g9 w1 e6 `+ o5 \6 GYears of previous attempts at changing Assad’s behaviour have all failed and failed very dramatically.
