President Barack Obama outlined the possibility of a “limited narrow act” by the US in response to the alleged use of chemical weapons by the Syrian army, today.
Commenting after the Secretary of State, John Kerry, summarised a report that placed culpability for the attacks on the Syrian army, Obama stressed,
“We cannot accept a world where women and children and innocent civilians are gassed on a terrible scale.”
“The world has an obligation to make sure that we maintain the norm against the use of chemical weapons.”
The President, further outlined that any action on Syria would not constitute to a long-term campaign or involve placing boots on the ground.
