During a news conference Tuesday at the White House, President Obama said the U.S. needs to tread carefully in its response to the use of chemical weapons in Syria.
“It is important for us to do this in a prudent way,” Obama said, according to a rush transcript. “What I’ve said to my team is we have to do everything we can to investigate and establish with some certainty what exactly has happened in Syria, what is happening in Syria. We will use all the assets and resources that we have at our disposal, we will work with the neighboring countries and we have called on the united nations to investigate.”
