" Z- F: A5 Q- `% q+ [: {! vOn Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians using a deadly nerve agent.
' J/ d# x5 e0 N% p9 IAssad 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.
" b4 u/ \4 Z$ o' l& y5 dNo child of god should ever suffer such horror.( M2 l* o6 {: h0 i3 a- k& z* p$ C
Tonight I ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched.3 V u8 y" ^ V1 @2 ^& Y
It is in this vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons.6 W1 C# n5 c8 i9 A
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.
9 l; U! m& Y; r: @ T; UYears of previous attempts at changing Assad’s behaviour have all failed and failed very dramatically.* L* ^) H6 n T! J9 W
As a result the refugee crisis continues to deepen and the region continues to destabilise, threatening the United States and its allies.
0 M+ C8 W3 E# o6 BTonight 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. b# u0 H* {8 J/ U. F y( C5 Z
We ask for god’s wisdom as we face the challenge of our very troubled world.
, t$ d0 L w; N& V: d: DWe pray for the lives of the wounded and for the souls of those who have passed.
# U- A W% x1 M9 iAnd we hope that as long as America stands for justice that peace and harmony will in the end prevail.
9 m1 C- R( m7 C% L( dGoodnight and god bless America and the entire world. Thank you.
