President Obama declared Saturday that he has decided the US should take unilateral military action against Syria for its alleged use of chemical weapons, but will seek congressional authority before launching an attack.
'This menace must be confronted and after careful deliberation, I have decided that the United States should take military action against Syrian regime targets,' Obama said from the Rose Garden Saturday.
'Our military has positioned assets in the region. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs has informed me that we are prepared to strike whenever we choose,' he added. 'Our capacity to execute this mission is not time sensitive. It will be effective tomorrow, or next week, or one month from now. And I'm prepared to give that order.'
