The attacks on Syria are unwarranted, Illegal, and an affront to the Constitution... With Ceasefire in Tatters, Haley Warns Assad He Could Face Another US Military StrikeBy Patrick Goodenough, March 12, 2018 8:22 PM EDT (CNSNews.com) – U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley warned Monday that the U.S. could take military action against the Assad regime to stop violent attacks on civilians that have only escalated since the Security Council a fortnight ago voted for a 30-day ceasefire. Addressing the council in New York, Haley recalled the U.S. response to a sarin gas attack in Khan Sheikhun in Idlib province last April which killed at least 70 people. President Trump ordered a Tomahawk cruise missile strike on a Syrian airbase which U.S. intelligence agencies linked to the episode. She noted that before that strike, the U.S. had warned the Security Council. “We said that when the international community consistently fails to act, there are times when states are compelled to take their own action.” When the Security Council did then fail to act, she said, the U.S. had done so. “We repeat this warning today,” Haley said. www.cnsnews.com/news/article/patrick-goodenough/ceasefire-tatters-haley-warns-assad-he-could-face-another-us
