Obama told reporters he had yet to make a final decision, but hinted at a military strike that sources and experts say would entail cruise missiles fired from U.S. Navy ships at Syrian command targets -- but not at any chemical weapons stockpiles.
"It is not in the national security interests of the United States to ignore clear violations" of what he called an "international norm" banning the use of chemical weapons, Obama said at a meeting with visiting heads of Baltic nations Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
He called the Syrian attack a "challenge to the world" that threatens U.S. allies Israel, Turkey and Jordan while increasing the risk of such weapons falling into the hands of terrorists.
President Bashar al-Assad's government has claimed that jihadists fighting with the rebels carried out the chemical weapons attacks on August 21 to turn global sentiments against it, a claim dismissed by Obama and others who say there is no evidence to support that claim.
The Bible is the Word of God and helps us in the guidance of our life. When it concerns to an issue like war, many people assume they know what the Bible says about it, without actually studying it. This Syrian Civil War is happening in our physical world. Here in Honduras, thanks God, we are not passing through a harsh momento like this one, but we do are dealing with a spiritual war. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12). Remember we are Christian Soldiers in an ongoing spiritual battle and God and His Word can help us to lead others to a saving faith through Christ Jesus.
Jesus has already overcome the world!
"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." -John 16:33
