Obama to seek Congress vote on Syria military
action 1 September 2013 Last updated at 01:46 President Barack Obama says the US should
take military action against Syria and he will
seek congressional authorisation for
intervention. The US says the Syrian government carried out
chemical weapons attacks on 21 August in which
1,429 people died. Mr Obama said the operation would be limited in
duration and strong to deter future chemical attacks.
Congress is due to reconvene on 9 September. The Syrian government denies it was behind the
attacks and blames rebels. UN inspectors who have been investigating the
attacks arrived in the Netherlands on Saturday with
samples from site visits, which will be tested in
laboratories in Europe. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical
Weapons, which is overseeing the investigation,
said the whole testing process could take up to
three weeks, although "every effort" would be made
to expedite it. Senior White House officials told the BBC's Katty
Kay that Mr Obama's decision to seek
congressional approval was made by the president
on Friday afternoon. It had not been planned until
then. The officials added that they believed they would
get congressional approval, although they were
aware of the risks, our correspondent adds. Later on Saturday, Mr Obama formally asked
Congress to authorise military action. The draft legislation seeks approval for the use of
force to prevent the Syrian government from
carrying out chemical weapons attacks. 'No blind eye' President Obama said the US was prepared to
strike whenever it chose. "Our capacity to execute
this mission is not time-sensitive." He added: "We cannot and will not turn a blind eye
to what happened in Damascus." As commander-in-chief, Mr Obama has the
constitutional authority to order military action
without the backing of Congress. However, he said it was important to have the
debate. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell
welcomed the announcement, saying the president's
role as commander-in-chief was "always
strengthened when he enjoys the expressed support
of the Congress". Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey
Graham, who have been pushing for US intervention
in Syria, also gave their backing to the vote. However, they warned against limited strikes which
would not change the balance of the conflict, calling
the prospect "an inadequate response to the crimes
against humanity that [Syrian President] Assad and
his forces are committing". The BBC's Katy Watson in Washington says that if
Mr Obama is to intervene, he wants the people - and
politicians - on his side. But what is unclear is what action he would take if
Congress votes against involvement, our
correspondent says. On Thursday, British MPs defeated a government
motion to take part in any military action in Syria. After the president's address UK Prime Minister
David Cameron tweeted: "I understand and support
Barack Obama's position". Mr Obama did not speak to Mr Cameron before his
statement but did call President Hollande of France,
the White House said. France has also backed military action in Syria. The
French parliament is due to reconvene next week. France will wait for discussions in the US Congress
and French parliament before making a decision on
military intervention, a French official told the
Associated Press. Earlier on Saturday, Russian President Vladimir
Putin challenged the US to present to the UN
evidence that Syria had attacked rebels with
chemical weapons. Mr Putin said it would be "utter nonsense" for
Syria's government to provoke opponents with such
attacks. Russia - a key ally of Syria - has previously warned
that "any unilateral military action bypassing the UN
Security Council" would be a "direct violation of
international law". Moscow, along with China, has vetoed two previous
draft resolutions on Syria. The BBC's Jeremy Bowen in Damascus says
people there are worried and are making
preparations. They do not know what Mr Obama meant by a
limited attack and what consequences it will have,
he adds. The main findings of the unclassified US evidence
state that: the attacks killed 1,429 people, including 426
children Syrian military chemical weapons personnel were
operating in the area in the three days before the
attack Satellite evidence shows rockets launched from
government-held areas 90 minutes before the first
report of chemical attack 100 videos attributed to the attack show
symptoms consistent with exposure to a nerve
agent Communications were intercepted involving a
senior Damascus official who "confirmed chemical
weapons were used" and was concerned about
UN inspectors obtaining evidence Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has said his
country will defend itself against any Western
"aggression". Forces which could be used against Syria:

I salute his courage in doing this, either the country stands with him, or they vote no confidence. Do they support the office of the President, or do they not, inter-alia, I listened to the speech this afternoon, Eastern time, thought what I heard was he was going to let Congress debate any proposal.

Yeah Marais wa USA huwa wanajichukulia Maamuzi bila CONGRESS sometimes; Lakini Wanapaswa kufanya hivyo
OBAMA hatishambulia SYRIA mpaka apate Congress approval...
Watch and see...
US President Barack Obama's decision to delay possible military action in Syria while it is debated by Congress could "embolden" the forces of President Assad, an opposition group says.
Syrian National Coalition spokesman Louay Safi called the decision a "failure of leadership" by the US.
Government forces resumed shelling of opposition-held parts of Damascus as Mr Obama finished speaking on Saturday.
Syria denies US charges that its army used chemical weapons in August.
The US says 1,429 people were killed in chemical attacks by the Syrian army on 21 August.
he US president had said that such attacks would be a "red line", prompting US intervention in Syria.
On Saturday, Mr Obama said any action would be limited, ruling out a ground invasion, but he has sent the US Congress draft legislation seeking approval for the use of force as he "determines to be necessary and appropriate" to prevent the Syrian government from carrying out chemical weapons attacks.
Congress is due to reconvene on 9 September, meaning any military operation would not happen until then.
On Sunday, deputy Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad told the BBC that Mr Obama's decision would not change anything for Syria and called it a play on words intended to buy time.
And the chairman of the Syrian parliament's national security committee Ibrahim Mahmoud told the BBC that "our allies have offered their full assistance but we need no one to fight our battles".
The BBC's Jeremy Bowen in the Syrian capital, Damascus, says there is some relief in the city among those who feared that US attacks could start this weekend.
He says the delay could give the government time to move some sensitive military equipment.
The shelling of opposition-held areas of the city late on Saturday was a possible act of defiance by the army, our correspondent adds.
Mr Safi, spokesman for the main opposition grouping, said he was disappointed with Mr Obama's announcement.
"Our fear now is that the lack of action could embolden the regime and they repeat his attacks in a more serious way," he told CNN.
There has been no official statement since Mr Obama's announcement but CBS quotes Deputy Prime Minister Qadri Jamil as saying: "If the US has postponed its decision, or retreated... this invites ridicule from all sides."
In other developments:
In a statement at the White House on Saturday, President Obama said he felt it was important to have a debate about intervention in Syria.
"I've long believed that our power is rooted not just in our military might, but in our example as a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
"And that's why... I will seek authorisation for the use of force from the American people's representatives in Congress," he said.
Later on Saturday, Mr Obama sent a "draft legislation" to the two Congress leaders - the speaker of the House of Representatives and the president of the Senate.
The legislation says the objective of a US military response would be to "deter, disrupt, prevent and degrade'' the Syrian government's ability to use chemical weapons.
Senior White House officials told the BBC that Mr Obama's decision to seek congressional approval was made by the president on Friday afternoon. It had not been planned until then.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, said the vote on the proposal would take place no later than the week of 9 September.
