Here's what the president had to say in a Thursday evening address
On
Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a horrible chemical
weapons attack on innocent civilians. Using a deadly nerve agent, Assad
choked out the lives of helpless 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.
" Trump said during his Thursday
address.
No child of God should ever suffer such horror. Tonight, I
ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield in Syria from where
the chemical attack was launched. It is in this vital national security
interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of
deadly chemical weapons. 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 U.N. Security Council.
Years
of previous attempts at changing Assad's behavior have all failed, and
failed very dramatically.
As a result, the refugee crisis continues to
deepen and region continues to destabilize, threatening the Unites
States and its allies. Tonight I called on all civilized 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.
We ask for God's wisdom was
we face the challenge of our very troubled world. We pray for the lives
of the wounded and for the souls of those who have passed and we hope
that as long as America stands for justice, then peace and harmony will
in the end prevail. Goodnight and God bless America and the entire
world.
