On Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians using a deadly nerve agent.
* L* P) R8 o6 U7 |- [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.

Tonight I ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched.
& \6 y. ]: K4 b2 ]4 ?5 i7 fIt is in this vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons.# J# G9 D! B, G" _! {. j
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.
1 u, G$ M( j5 Y$ G4 AYears of previous attempts at changing Assad’s behaviour have all failed and failed very dramatically.. m O+ v C) f, v# T
As a result the refugee crisis continues to deepen and the region continues to destabilise, threatening the United States and its allies.
( w2 c* y/ Z' kTonight 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.
( G/ y( J+ T8 L1 s5 QWe ask for god’s wisdom as we face the challenge of our very troubled world.) g" `7 Y& F) ?, O% ?9 p/ L
We pray for the lives of the wounded and for the souls of those who have passed.% f& Q( c, D' x% U
And we hope that as long as America stands for justice that peace and harmony will in the end prevail.
