President Barack Obama says he understands the American public’s deep skepticism about launching military action against Syria. But he says he is confident he can persuade Americans that the use of chemical weapons in Syria requires a military response.
Obama says he needs to convince the nation that his plans would be “limited and proportional” and designed to uphold international norms. Obama says a chemical attack in Syria last month was carried out by President Bashar al-Assad’s military.
