President
Obama says that he'll continue to pursue diplomatic efforts, but if
that fails, he wants a targeted military strike, and will not put
American boots on the ground.
President Barack Obama made the following remarks to the nation at the White House on Sept. 10, 2013.

PRESIDENT
BARACK OBAMA: My fellow Americans, tonight I want to talk to you about
Syria, why it matters and where we go from here. Over the past two
years, what began as a series of peaceful protests against the
repressive regime of Bashar al-Assad has turned into a brutal civil war.
Over a hundred thousand people have been killed. Millions have fled the
country. In that time, America has worked with allies to provide
humanitarian support, to help the moderate opposition and to shape a
political settlement.But I have resisted calls for military
action because we cannot resolve someone else's civil war through force,
particularly after a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.The
situation profoundly changed, though, on August 21st, when
Assad's government gassed to death over a thousand people, including
hundreds of children. The images from this massacre are sickening, men,
women, children lying in rows, killed by poison gas, others foaming at
the mouth, gasping for breath, a father clutching his dead children,
imploring them to get up and walk. On that terrible night, the world saw
in gruesome detail the terrible nature of chemical weapons and why the
overwhelming majority of humanity has declared them off limits, a crime
against humanity and a violation of the laws of war.This was not
always the case. In World War I, American GIs were among the many
thousands killed by deadly gas in the trenches of Europe. In World War
II, the Nazis used gas to inflict the horror of the Holocaust. Because
these weapons can kill on a mass scale, with no distinction between
soldier and infant, the civilized world has spent a century working to
ban them. And in 1997, the United States Senate overwhelmingly approved
an international agreement prohibiting the use of chemical weapons, now
joined by 189 government that represent 98 percent of humanity.On August
21st, these basic rules were violated, along with our sense of common
humanity.No
one disputes that chemical weapons were used in Syria. The world saw
thousands of videos, cellphone pictures and social media accounts from
the attack. And humanitarian organizations told stories of hospitals
packed with people who had symptoms of poison gas.Moreover, we
know the Assad regime was responsible. In the days leading up to August
21st, we know that Assad's chemical weapons personnel prepared for an
attack near an area they where they mix sarin gas. They distributed gas
masks to their troops. Then they fired rockets from a regime-controlled
area into 11 neighborhoods that the regime has been trying to wipe clear
of opposition forces.
Shortly after those rockets landed, the gas
spread, and hospitals filled with the dying and the wounded. We know
senior figures in Assad's military machine reviewed the results of the
attack. And the regime increased their shelling of the same
neighborhoods in the days that followed. We've also studied samples of
blood and hair from people at the site that tested positive for
sarin.When
dictators commit atrocities, they depend upon the world to look the
other day until those horrifying pictures fade from memory. But these
things happened. The facts cannot be denied.The question now is
what the United States of America and the international community is
prepared to do about it, because what happened to those people, to those
children, is not only a violation of international law, it's also a
danger to our security.Let me explain why. If we fail to act, the Assad
regime will see no reason to stop using chemical weapons.As
the ban against these weapons erodes, other tyrants will have no reason
to think twice about acquiring poison gas and using them. Over time our
troops would again face the prospect of chemical warfare on the
battlefield, and it could be easier for terrorist organizations to
obtain these weapons and to use them to attack civilians.If fighting
spills beyond Syria's borders, these weapons could threaten allies like
Turkey, Jordan and Israel.And
a failure to stand against the use of chemical weapons would weaken
prohibitions against other weapons of mass destruction and embolden
Assad's ally, Iran, which must decide whether to ignore international
law by building a nuclear weapon or to take a more peaceful path.This
is not a world we should accept. This is what's at stake. And that is
why, after careful deliberation, I determined that it is in the national
security interests of the United States to respond to the Assad
regime's use of chemical weapons through a targeted military strike. The
purpose of this strike would be to deter Assad from using chemical
weapons, to degrade his regime's ability to use them and to make clear
to the world that we will not tolerate their use. That's my judgment as
commander in chief.
But I'm also the president of the world's oldest constitutional
democracy. So even though I possessed the authority to order military
strikes, I believed it was right, in the absence of a direct or imminent
threat to our security, to take this debate to Congress. I believe our
democracy is stronger when the president acts with the support of
Congress, and I believe that America acts more effectively abroad when
we stand together.
This is especially true after a decade that put
more and more war-making power in the hands of the president, and more
and more burdens on the shoulders of our troops, while sidelining the
people's representatives from the critical decisions about when we use
force.Now, I know that after the terrible toll of Iraq and
Afghanistan, the idea of any military action, no matter how limited, is
not going to be popular. After all, I've spent four and a half years
working to end wars, not to start them. Our troops are out of Iraq, our
troops are coming home from Afghanistan, and I know Americans want all
of us in Washington, especially me, to concentrate on the task of
building our nation here at home, putting people back to work, educating
our kids, growing our middle class. It's no wonder, then, that you're
asking hard questions. So let me answer some of the most important
questions that I've heard from members of Congress and that I've read in
letters that you've sent to me.First, many of you have asked:
Won't this put us on a slippery slope to another war? One man wrote to
me that we are still recovering from our involvement in Iraq. A veteran
put it more bluntly: This nation is sick and tired of war.My
answer is simple. I will not put American boots on the ground in Syria. I
will not pursue an open-ended action like Iraq or Afghanistan. I will
not pursue a prolonged air campaign like Libya or Kosovo. This would be a
targeted strike to achieve a clear objective: deterring the use of
chemical weapons and degrading Assad's capabilities.Others have
asked whether it's worth acting if we don't take out Assad. As some
members of Congress have said, there's no point in simply doing a
pinprick strike in Syria.Let me make something clear: The United States military doesn't do pinpricks.
Even
a limited strike will send a message to Assad that no other nation can
deliver. I don't think we should remove another dictator with force. We
learned from Iraq that doing so makes us responsible for all that comes
next. But a targeted strike can make Assad or any other dictator think
twice before using chemical weapons.Other questions involve the
dangers of retaliation. We don't dismiss any threats, but the Assad
regime does not have the ability to seriously threaten our military. Any
other -- any other retaliation they might seek is in line with threats
that we face every day. Neither Assad nor his allies have any interest
in escalation that would lead to his demise. And our ally Israel can
defend itself with overwhelming force, as well as the unshakable support
of the United States of America.Many of you have asked a broader
question: Why should we get involved at all in a place that's so
complicated and where, as one person wrote to me, those who come after
Assad may be enemies of human rights? It's true that some of Assad's
opponents are extremists. But al-Qaida will only draw strength in a more
chaotic Syria if people there see the world doing nothing to prevent
innocent civilians from being gassed to death. The majority of the
Syrian people and the Syrian opposition we work with just want to live
in peace, with dignity and freedom. And the day after any military
action, we would redouble our efforts to achieve a political solution
that strengthens those who reject the forces of tyranny and
extremism.Finally, many of you have asked, why not leave this to other
countries or seek solutions short of force? And
several people wrote to me, we should not be the world's policeman. I
agree. And I have a deeply held preference for peaceful solutions. Over
the last two years my administration has tried diplomacy and sanctions,
warnings and negotiations. But chemical weapons were still used by the
Assad regime.
However, over the last few days we've seen some encouraging signs in
part because of the credible threat of U.S. military action as well as
constructive talks that I had with President Putin. The Russian
government has indicated a willingness to join with the international
community in pushing Assad to give up his chemical weapons. The Assad
regime has now admitted that it has these weapons and even said they'd
join the chemical weapons convention, which prohibits their use.It's
too early to tell whether this offer will succeed, and any agreement
must verify that the Assad regime keeps its commitments. But this
initiative has the potential to remove the threat of chemical weapons
without the use of force, particularly because Russia is one of Assad's
strongest allies.I have therefore asked the leaders of Congress
to postpone a vote to authorize the use of force while we pursue this
diplomatic path. I'm sending Secretary of State John Kerry to met his
Russian counterpart on Thursday, and I will continue my own discussions
with President Putin. I've spoken to the leaders of two of our closest
allies, France and the United Kingdom. And we will work together in
consultation with Russia and China to put forward a resolution at the
U.N. Security Council requiring Assad to give up his chemical weapons
and to ultimately destroy them under international control.
We'll
also give U.N. inspectors the opportunity to report their findings about
what happened on August 21st. And we will continue to rally support
from allies, from Europe to the Americas, from Asia to the Middle East
who agree on the need for action.Meanwhile, I've ordered our
military to maintain their current posture, to keep the pressure on
Assad and to be in a position to respond if diplomacy fails. And tonight
I give thanks again to our military and their families for their
incredible strength and sacrifices.My fellow Americans, for
nearly seven decades the United States has been the anchor of global
security. This has meant doing more than forging international
agreements. It has meant enforcing them. The burdens of leadership are
often heavy, but the world's a better place because we have borne
them.And
so to my friends on the right, I ask you to reconcile your commitment
to America's military might with a failure to act when a cause is so
plainly just.To my friends on the left, I ask you to reconcile
your belief in freedom and dignity for all people with those images of
children writhing in pain and going still on a cold hospital floor, for
sometimes resolutions and statements of condemnation are simply not
enough.Indeed, I'd ask every member of Congress, and those of you
watching at home tonight, to view those videos of the attack, and then
ask: What kind of world will we live in if the United States of America
sees a dictator brazenly violate international law with poison gas and
we choose to look the other way? Franklin Roosevelt once said our
national determination to keep free of foreign wars and foreign
entanglements cannot prevent us from feeling deep concern when ideals
and principles that we have cherished are challenged.Our ideals
and principles, as well as our national security, are at stake in Syria,
along with our leadership of a world where we seek to ensure that the
worst weapons will never be used. America is not the world's policeman.
Terrible things happen across the globe, and it is beyond our means to
right every wrong. But when, with modest effort and risk, we can stop
children from being gassed to death and thereby make our own children
safer over the long run, I believe we should act. That's what makes
America different. That's what makes us exceptional.With humility, but
with resolve, let us never lose sight of that essential truth.Thank you.
God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.
Obama pushes to delay Congress vote on Syria
Administration
advocating wait-and-see approach to let diplomatic options for
safeguarding Syria’s chemical weapons play out; wants military strike to
stay on table
An Associated Press survey conducted Monday
indicated that the balance of power in the Senate had swung, and that
the majority of senators were leaning toward opposing involvement. Polls
conducted in the House also seemed to portend an administration defeat –
with as high as a 6 to 1 margin against the president’s resolution.In the course of a week, two polls conducted
by Pew Research indicated that popular opposition to military engagement
in Syria rose by 15%, while support continued to decline.Even the staunchly pro-Obama Organizing for
Action organization, the successor body to Obama’s 2012 presidential
campaign grassroots initiative, has been silent on Syria for the past
three weeks, only to break silence Tuesday with a critically
non-committal e-mail to supporters.The organization’s executive director, former
White House official Jon Carson, told supporters that “I’ve heard a lot
from supporters Syria over the last week. This debate is an important
one for our country.”Without ever mentioning whether members should
support the president, Carson said that “For everyone asking for more
information, I wanted to make sure you had the chance to hear from
President Obama himself. He’s addressing the nation tonight.”In the Syria-focused e-mail, Carson quickly
tried to redirect supporters to more unifying topics, concluding that
“there’s a lot to do to pass the agenda Americans voted for last fall –
that’s work that we’ll remained focused on. More on that soon.”
Hackers call for 9/11 cyberattacks against Israel, US
Anonymous, AnonGhost and Fallaga protest Israel’s policies toward the Palestinians, plan internet assault for Wednesday
By JTA
September 11, 2013, 2:14 am
JERUSALEM — International
computer hacking groups called on Muslim hackers to attack US and
Israeli websites and other Internet presences on 9/11.The threat for Wednesday was posted last week in a YouTube
video by the hacker groups Anonymous, AnonGhost and Fallaga. The groups are protesting Israeli policies on the Palestinians.“Hi, Israel, do you remember us?” says the
computer-modified voice in the video. “We are the same people who f—–d
you on April 7. And now we are back to punish you again.”“America, Israel. We will show you.” At its end, the video issues a call to “Free Palestine.”In April, on the eve of Holocaust Memorial
Day, Anonymous tried to “erase Israel from the Internet,” as it had
threatened in a similar YouTube video. In the so-called OpIsrael
attack, several Israeli government websites were affected, Israeli
business websites were brought down and Israeli Facebook pages were
hacked.The new attack has been codenamed OpIsraelReborn. Other hacker groups also have released
videos on YouTube in an effort to organize Muslim hackers.In advance of the threatened 9/11 attack,
hackers published a list with data from an Israeli Web hosting site on
some 165,000 Israelis, including email addresses, passwords, names, home
addresses and mobile phone numbers.
Syria will become Afghanistan if we don’t act now, says Kerry
Secretary
of state claims strike will show Assad he’s on the losing side, prevent
country from imploding into ungoverned terror hub
“If we can, in fact, secure all of the
chemical weapons in Syria through this method, clearly that’s by far the
most preferable way, and would be a very significant achievement,” he
said, but added that he wasn’t so confident it could be done quickly
enough to suit Obama.“For better or worse, the fact that Assad has
been running a highly controlled and very hierarchical process has
forced them to contain all of these weapons in the regime-controlled
areas. As a result, it is our argument that they, therefore, can control
access to these sites, and so we believe that they need to show us an
entirely verifiable, completely accountable and ongoing verifiable
process by which we know we have all of the weapons, access to any sites
in question, unlimited access, investigation, verifiability – this
cannot be a game, and that we have made very, very clear to the
Russians,” he said.“So far there are indications we will at least
be able to have a serious conversation, whether we can meet what is
necessary for president Obama to make the judgment that the objectives
are being accomplished – we’ll just have to see,” he concluded, adding
that a Security Council resolution would be necessary in order to
monitor Syria’s chemical weapons caches.“It also has to have consequences if games are
played or if somebody tries to undermine this,” Kerry went on to warn.
“I believe it is preferable to sending a message by use of force, which
in the end wouldn’t in fact contain all of the weapons. So hopefully we
can make it work, and this is something we’ve been discussing for some
period of time, and my hope is with good faith it could be brought to
fruition – but I don’t want raise expectations, because there are some
big hurdles in terms of the verifiability and implementation that we
have to cross.”When asked why the US had decided to act only
when the death toll in the Syrian civil war had crossed the six-figure
threshold, Kerry replied that before the sarin gas incident which the US
says killed over 1,400 Syrian civilians, there had not been sufficient
proof that Assad was committing war crimes to justify a strike.“We have consistently spoken out against
Assad’s slaughter of his own people using Scud missiles, using airplanes
against civilians, dropping napalm on children in schools – these are
war crimes by almost any standard,” saidKerry. “But there hasn’t been a
will in the global community, let alone in our own country, to get
involved in Syria’s civil war.”Once the line was crossed in August, Obama decided to support Assad’s military foes, but without direct American involvement.“That’s was the straw that broke the camel’s
back and the president decided that it needed a response from the world,
because chemical weapons were suddenly being used as a tactical weapon
in a civil war and any use of chemical weapons is unacceptable.”Kerry said the justifications for US
involvement ranged from “a moral imperative” to strategic, practical and
military objectives which would be achieved by sending Assad “a message
that his capacity to wage war could be affected if he continues to use
these prohibited, outlawed, and outrageous weapons.”The US secretary of state said the goings-on
in Syria affected Americans and their security directly, because Assad’s
tactical use of chemical weapons despite a century-long prohibition
could threaten US soldiers in the future.Assad’s actions also threatened US allies in the region, namely Jordan, Israel and Turkey.“We believe that if we don’t stand up now … we
can see those weapons used by terrorists,” Kerry said. This would not
only “make the region more unstable than it is today,” but even
“threaten us directly here at home.”Asked whether US support wouldn’t empower the
more radical, al-Qaeda-affiliated groups fighting Assad, Kerry said only
the moderate opposition, which was more numerous than the Islamist
groups, was being supported and groomed as “a barrier, a bulwark,
against the very bad elements that are out there that do want to attack
the United States.”While the radical elements have “proven
themselves to be the best fighters” and are probably the most trained
and aggressive on the ground, he said, Washington and its allies have
“put down a firm barrier between the assistance that goes to the
moderate opposition and anything to those groups.”Most experts and leaders in the region, added
Kerry, believe that if you can hold Syria together as a country, put a
transitional government in place and allow and the Syrian people choose
their future, they will expel and stand up against these other groups.“They will not have any standing, except by
force, and they will be handled by the vast majority of Syrians who want
a secular country in which minorities are protected,” Kerry said.In a final bid to convince Americans to
support Obama’s plan, Kerry added that Assad’s choice of allies proved
he was a far from benign force.“What does it mean to you that the principal
supporters of Assad are Hezbollah, a terrorist organization and a client
