Obama on Syria: 'A Line Has Been Crossed'

But more direct evidence is still needed

|

President Obama on Friday said "a line has been crossed" in Syria but cautioned that more "direct evidence" is needed to confirm a chemical weapons attack.

Speaking alongside King Abdullah of Jordan in the Oval Office, Obama said that the United States was working with countries like Jordan to obtain more evidence and confirmation of a potential chemical attack by Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces.
