US President Barack Obama denounced what he called the “sickening” chemical weapons attack by Syrian forces in the Damascus suburbs, and said it posed a “danger” to US security.
“When dictators commit atrocities, they depend on the world to look the other way until those horrifying pictures fade from memory,” Obama, making his case for military action, said in a much-anticipated televised address to the nation. “The question now is what the United States of America and the international community is prepared to do about it,” he added.
