DMCA | President Barack Obama said Saturday he will seek authorization from Congress before launching any military action against the Syrian regime for allegedly using chemical weapons in a "crime against conscience" that killed 1,429 people. Obama stressed that American warships in the Mediterranean Sea still stood poised to strike at any time, despite the move that would place a hold on any imminent military action. "Over the last several days, we have heard from members of Congress who want their voices to be heard," Obama said. "I absolutely agree." |
