Of our misreading -- total misreading of the intentions of vladimir putin. >> we dont accept anything that president putin said as fact about why they had to protect the so-called ethnic minority in crimea. and the other reasons that the russians have laid out as to why they took the action they did. >> a spokesman for the director of national intelligence weighed in last night to say any suggestion the u.s. was caught off-guard is highly inaccurate. the cia went even further, calling it flat wr...

Korea back to face torture and execution. >> it is not in chinas interest to have on its border a country which is so neglectful of the fundamental dignity of its own citizens. and that is effectively a totalitarian state that is a danger to itself and to its region. >> today, china blasted the report calling it unreasonable criticism. and then saying this. we believe that politicizing human rights issues is not conducive towards improving our countrys human rights. although the commissions repo...

On assad. it has been a problem because weve been reduced by dealing with this disspirited and desperate syrian opposition rather than having the capacity to deal with all sides. whether you like it or not, this is going to be a political solution. they continue to fight for assad. this is not going to be something where someone marches into damascus and has a victory parade. >> i want to close back with north korea and get final thoughts from both of you. bobby, i know this is in chinas court b...

So public opinion is very easy to understand. >> right. thats why so many americans dont want to get involved. well continue this conversation. bobby, thanks very much, fareed and gloria, guys, thanks very much to you as well. when we come back an american held in iran reportedly reveals his confession to supposedly being a cia spy was forced out of him. just ahead, we have details on a letter his family claims he smuggled out of prison in iran. plus, thunderstorms crippling air travel acros...

Here. how does he balance the geopolitical consequences with -- to bobbys point, what he has said before? >> i think the timing was not exactly what they thought it would be when they set out to have this conversation. i think the uk parliaments decision wasnt helpful. i think now, you know, all along the idea has been to send messages to two groups. foreign fighters. the fear is syria now is becoming 1980s afghanistan on the mediterranean. so how do you send a message to foreign fighters that t...

Kind of prediction, but i would be very surprised if this time next week something hadnt already happened. >> bobby goesh, gayle zenet-lemon, thank you for your perspective. the possibility of war next door. the role of the ially in this fight and what it might mean for them. first, how many sitting members of congress directly succeeded his or her parent in the same seat? i can think of one off the top of my head. the first person to tweet the correct answer to @dailyrundown will get an on-...

Deal. >> bobby, i was struck, the "time" magazine cover, an unhappy warrior, about president obama. i was struck by the construct which is the presidents sort of transformative, hoping for change on a global scale. domestically, to sort of really change the way in which politics works. i was so interested in that from a foreign policy perspective, some of the same holds true. can you explain to us that conceit? >> when he came into power for the first time, the world greeted him with expectation...

Gayle, lets start with you, a time line for some action or a decision on action. is it slowed by the kuuk decisi? >> i think the time line is going to be determined in part by what happened in the next couple of days. that call with the hill last night was a challenge. iraq was brought up a number of times. and folks on the hill really urged the administration to make the case. to the american public and to them. to bobbys point. i think that is going to be something that continues to press on p...

Extended in two wars in the middle east and in afghanistan, all he could offer was language, was words. they were powerful words, soaring words, but he couldnt follow that up with any real action. and in syria, hes really been exposed. ironically, the words have come back to haunt him. the language of a man thats so well known for speaking powerful ideas in some ways is now being trapped by his own language. he said bashar al assad has to go. assad hasnt gone. he said red lines will be crossed a...
