Obama is justifying a military strike on Syria; Obama’s answer to “why are we getting involved?” during his “PBS Newshour interview” on August 28, 2013.

During the first five minutes: "I have no interest in any open-ended conflict in Syria, but we do have to make sure that when countries break international norms on weapons like chemical weapons that could threaten us, that they are held accountable.,"

Starting around minute 12: "If we are saying in a clear and decisive but very limited way, we send a shot across the bow saying, 'Stop doing this,' this can have a positive impact on our national security over the long term."
