On Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians using a deadly nerve agent.
: m8 |# H, w" J, O* G5 e5 ?' NAssad 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.1 x$ \# T* P2 q$ k7 C/ {" c. }) I
No child of god should ever suffer such horror.2 {6 A8 w) T0 u' F- B5 h/ C
Tonight I ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched.: ?3 Z8 R2 {, L7 f
It is in this vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons.2 |% v; _5 k% V3 o
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.

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.
