On Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians using a deadly nerve agent.+ N6 m+ E% U) ?0 M" \- D: c
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.

" J: E/ r( G7 [7 L/ [* M7 kTonight I ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched.& u- Y1 H$ Y$ ?- m+ z
It is in this vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons.8 j0 M9 t3 T% u" L7 Y8 w
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.4 s9 r R( T& b# z4 Z! Q9 C4 g
Years of previous attempts at changing Assad’s behaviour have all failed and failed very dramatically.
