That's why I asked Members of Congress to debate this issue and vote on authorizing the use of force. What we're not talking about is an open - ended intervention. This would not be another Iraq or Afghanistan. There would be no American boots on the ground. Any action we take would be limited, both in time and scope - design to deter the Syrian government from gassing its own people again and degrade its ability to do so. I know that the American people are weary after a decade of war, even as the war in Iraq is ended, and the war in Afghanistan is winding down. That's why we're not putting our troops in the middle of somebody else's war. But we are the United States of America.作为世界上最早大的民主国家领导人，我清楚只要我们团结一致，我们的国家就会更加强大，我们的行动就能更加有效。这就是为什么我请求国会对这一提议进行辩论投票，授权采取军事行动的原因。我们所说的并非无休止的介入。这不会是另一场伊拉克战争或阿富汗战争。美国军人不会踏进叙利亚领土半步。我们采取的任何行动无论是在时间上还是地域上都是有限的，目的就是要对叙利亚政府对其人民使用毒气的行为进行打击，并降低其继续使用毒气的能力。我也清楚经过10多年的战争洗礼后人民早已感到厌倦，特别是伊拉克战争趋于结束，阿富汗战争也正在结束的过程中。这就是为什么我们不把美国部队派遣到他人战场中间的原因。但作为美利坚合众国的我们。
