Obama stressed President Bashar Assad's responsibility
for the alleged strike outside Damascus on August 21. The Syrian government
denies it was behind the attack and blames opposition forces.
"While I believe I have the authority to carry
out this military action without specific Congressional authorisation, I know
that the country will be stronger if we take this course and our actions will
be even more effective," President Obama said.
Congress plans to hold a debate and a vote as soon as
it returns on September 9, he added. Obama called on the Congressional
leadership to make the decision based on
US national security interests.
