The document says support from Congress, requested by President Barack Obama in a stunning development on Saturday, would ‘send a clear signal of American resolve.’ ‘The objective of the United States use of military force in connection with this authorization should be to deter, disrupt, prevent and degrade the potential for future uses of chemical weapons or other weapons of mass destruction,’ the draft resolution reads.”
