US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Saturday told the UN Security Council that the US is "locked and loaded" to strike if Syrian President Bashar al-Assad uses chemical weapons again.
"We are confident that we have crippled Syria's chemical weapons program. We are prepared to sustain this pressure, if the Syrian regime is foolish enough to test our will," Haley said. "If the Syrian regime uses this poison gas again, the United States is locked and loaded."
