Obama speaks of terrible images of the dead
He begins by restating the conviction that the Assad regime was behind the August 21 chemical weapons attack. “Well over 1,000 people were murdered.”
He calls attack an assault on human dignity, and a danger to national security.
“It endangers our friends… including Israel.”
“This menace must be confronted… The US should take military action against regime targets.”
