Obama: I'm Bypassing the 'Hocus Pocus' of the United Nations

President Obama said that the U.S. talk of military action in Syria is bypassing the "hocus pocus" of the U.N.:
"Frankly, if we weren't talking about the need for an international response right now, this wouldn't be what everybody would be asking about," said Obama at a press conference this morning. "You know, there would be some resolutions that were being proffered in the United Nations and the usual hocus pocus, but the world and the country would have moved on. So trying to impart a sense of urgency about this, why we can't have an environment in which over time, people start thinking this we can get away with chemical weapons use--it's a hard sell, but it's something I believe in."
