My fellow Americans,2 k5 Z" u @5 V0 F% [
On Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians using a deadly nerve agent.) X5 U" C3 X& ?0 d' ~, j
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.( U( m7 c* p3 _7 ~
No child of god should ever suffer such horror.
' L: m" w- r# L' b5 V s6 }; eTonight I ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched.
# t5 A) {1 |- mIt is in this vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons.

Years of previous attempts at changing Assad’s behaviour have all failed and failed very dramatically.
# U" k( n" `0 CAs a result the refugee crisis continues to deepen and the region continues to destabilise, threatening the United States and its allies.
