Obama: No decision yet on launching Syria military strike
President Obama said on Thursday, he has not yet made a decision on whether he will order a military strike against Syria, but said the U.S. government has "concluded" that Bashar Assad's regime has deployed chemical weapons.
"I have not made a decision," Obama said in the interview. "I have gotten options from our military, had extensive discussions with my national security team." Obama said, however, that the Syrian regime's alleged use of chemical weapons would factor into his calculation to act, and he warned that the Assad should be held accountable.
