## Transcript

Tuesday, the Assad regime launched yet another chemical attack on civilians. Murdering innocent, men, women, and children in the most gruesome way. Assad did this because he thought he could get away with it. He thought he could get away with it because he knew Russia would have his back That changed last night. The United States will not standby when chemical weapons are used. It is in our vital national security interest to prevent the spread and use of chemical weapons. Our military destroyed the airfield from which this week chemical strike took place. We were fully justified in doing so. The world is waiting for the Russian government to act responsibly in Syria.

The world is waiting for Russia to reconsider its misplaced alliance with Bashar Assad. The United States will no longer wait for Assad to use chemical weapons without any consequences. Those days are over. The United States took a very measured step last night. We are prepared to do more but we hope that will not be necessary. It is time for all civilised nations to stop the horrors that are taking place in Syria and demand a political solution
