President Obama wants to take military action against Syria, seeks congress vote

 
For attacking its citizens with chemical weapons on August 21, president Barack Obama wants the US to take military action against Syria and is now seeking congressional authorization to intervene.

The Syrian government carried out chemical weapons attack in Damascus in the early hours of August 21, killing at least 1,400 people as they slept in their homes. Although the government is denying being behind the attack, president Obama says the military action against Syria is necessary to deter future chemical attacks...not only in Syria but other governments thinking of doing same.
We cannot and will not turn a blind eye to what happened in Damascus. What message are we sending out if a dictator can gas hundreds of children to death in plain sight without paying a price...Obama said 
Once the US congress reconvenes on September 9th, president Obama will have his answer.

Meanwhile Britain has said they will not take part in any military action against Syria but UK Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted:
Do you think the US should take any military action against Syria?
