o3 o# G1 A( X& R* [! j2 vMy fellow Americans,
* ^1 \% `! v/ n% FOn Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians using a deadly nerve agent.
U7 b1 j9 L/ X4 ZAssad 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.
0 Q* [: [9 N6 {! INo child of god should ever suffer such horror.* B5 H% K; f( o$ B
Tonight I ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched.
" @ W( w9 p8 G/ V. W# B; N5 FIt is in this vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons.9 Z' V/ u6 ^5 g! x) R
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.5 w3 _7 b: [5 ]! |9 }5 Y+ b
Years of previous attempts at changing Assad’s behaviour have all failed and failed very dramatically.
( Q$ ^! H1 M& \9 M5 N& i' z3 A# ~As a result the refugee crisis continues to deepen and the region continues to destabilise, threatening the United States and its allies.
* _2 v5 f" J- {Tonight 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.
, h9 O4 o" p2 h9 S4 D+ u- W( m. p& HWe ask for god’s wisdom as we face the challenge of our very troubled world.5 O0 p+ h# j" P* a0 w' d+ C
We pray for the lives of the wounded and for the souls of those who have passed.* _+ K. }: U2 o4 \; V+ K; Y
And we hope that as long as America stands for justice that peace and harmony will in the end prevail.: ?7 Y3 j' L9 @( r9 K& x7 A
Goodnight and god bless America and the entire world. Thank you.
