“Month after month, the Assad regime, with full support of Russia and Iran, has strung along this Council. They ignored our calls for a ceasefire. They ignored our calls for political dialogue.

And then, last weekend, the Assad regime forced a moment of reckoning on all of us by gassing people of Douma.”
