President speaking now on Syria


Posted: Aug 30, 2013

The unclassified report shows the chemical weapons were used by Assad. He has not made a final decision. He is not  considering any open-ended or military action that involves boots-on-the-ground but will be a limited, narrow act that would help make sure that Syria and others around the world know that using chemical weapons are not acceptable.

You'll have to look up newspaper reports. I don't know if there's any as of yet.

Now he's leading behind John Kerry........ - nm

It would also give Iran and Syria access to missles being able to hit our allies since Iran's missles wo ...
