Secretary kerry seems to have reached here will, in fact, bring those other players on board? >> the agreement is a godsend for president obama right now. at issue is whether or not iran will cooperate and try to undercut the agreement that the russians and the americans have put forward. if iran lays back, then i suspect that this agreement can start. if the agreement begins to fail, at issue then, he me lis san jose sharks will be whether president obama will try to get the military stick back...

Were not to stand there and say, man, putin, thank for all your help. i thought, were practicing our humility this morning, arent we. >> another interesting thing about the putin op-ed is theres nothing that would unify americans more around a divisive issue than putin writing in "the new york times," essentially insulting the president, and all of a sudden the american public says, whoa, wait a second, he just insulted our commander in chief. i think theres a reason why polls showed this week t...

Things that was so interesting about what he did this evening is he specifically addressed doubts, specific doubts, six or seven questions about why should we get involved? ive never heard a president talking about the need to show force, going through all the different arguments ticking down. so i dont know if he successfully made his case to the american people. according to polls the american people are convinced assad did this and it was wrong but dont want to get involved. he addressed spec...

Were horrified by, still 84 democrats in the house of representatives voted to give bush the authority to authorize the invasion of iraq. do you think 84 republicans are going to vote with president obama for a much more limited campaign in syria? no, theyre not. they enforce, theyre dogmatic of the discipline. >> youre right. ten of those 80-some republicans are now supporting this effort. >> evidently obama taking this to congress meant only if theyre going to vote with him. what were saying i...

Russians want to get into a fight with us over syria. it doesnt make sense. it doesnt reach the threshold of something they want to get into a superpower confrontation in the military realm. theyve got quite a number of ships in the eastern mediterranean, its a small body of water. theres a lot of firepower out there. they may do a show of force, but i just dont see them doing anything militarily. >> so, dr. kai, if vladimir putin is paying lip service to his allies and makes sure he walks this ...

Barack obama saying oh, yeah. >> but, gregg, in 2007, then candidate obama told the boston globe sort of the opposite. you know, look. im a lawyer, not a political sort of guy. but the point is legally he also has the authority as we said earlier to do it. politically is a whole another story. >> nicole, as a candidate, 2007, he writes to the boston newspaper. >> right. >> a president has no authority to do such a thing. and yet he is doing it. and brags that he has the authority to do it. so at...
