Some of the newest video weve gotten in of at least one area, the barza district in damascus where there is research and development and stockpies, we understand -- stockpiles, we understand, based on intel. this is the damage being done. we may not have full scope of what was successfully struck here. but colonel, when you look at the damage thats been done, if you dont get all of the chemical weapons out of syria in one fell swoop, do you not risk them being used again? >> the purpose of this ...

Attacked by their own leader. why would assad act in this way? we have our leaders on the record saying theyre convinced it was him, that he acted. france and the uk are saying the same. >> and let me give president trump credit where its due. on the one hand, hes constantly being beat up for being soft on russia. this doesnt look soft on russia to me. syria and assad is absolutely 100% a client state, a surrogate of russia. they are armed by the russians. theyve russian equipment. they are trai...

Muscles will be. what do you expect the response will be from them and ultimately how do we handle that? >> russia does not want a shooting war with the united states. what they want is to maintain their client state in syria. they want their warm water port and they want the air because base they have right now. what president trump accomplished last night was two things. number one, he sent a message to putin saying dont overstep your bounds. he also said the same message to iran and north kor...

Out these stunts. so last years detack didnt deter syrian actions so if it is carried out in the next few day it will be intense. >> so why is russia just now speaking at the u.n. and doubling down on the notion this is all staged, that this is a hoax, what -- what is their strategy in denying this? >> well they are protecting their clients -- >> their client being syria. >> their client state being syria. theyve done this throughout the conflict and saying it is a hoax and sometimes it has been...

Of john bolton. weve had two administrations and ten years of relative american disengagement. were all proud of the 2000 soldiers there. but that is somewhat less than the new jersey state police. america has disengaged. meanwhile, the iranians have consolidated, making iran -- making syria into a client state. and putin in a bold and historic move. moving the russian army and air force into syria made it now more than a client state. its a base of operations. syria is now an away game for the ...

The most abominable human rights record. the number one mass murderer on the face of the earth. so whos at play here? i dont know. could nato do an operation? maybe bring in turkeys erdogan? what are the options in terms of an international response? >> chris, at the risk of committing policy here, heres what i would say. that syria is a client state of russia and iran. president trump allegedly has this intimate relationship with president putin. he could say, get around a table. get around a t...

Made soon. what do you think will happen? >> first of all, this relationship has never been closer. the last eight years, the united states disengaged from the middle east in favor of iran and the negotiated nuclear deal at the expense of our allies. so president trump very early on and has continued it the last year has renewed the relationship that we historically had. it comes at a time when the middle east is in total chaos because iran is trampling over our interests in the middle east. the...

To put down his people. the civil war began in 2011 in syria but quite frankly right now what we have is the iranians and russians have successfully propped up the regime particularly with russian military intervention and huge commitment on the part of the iranians. syria is now a client state of iran. as horrible as that is, thats a fact. they are trying to drive the united states out of syria and out of the middle east. add to that that the turks have opened up a front in northwestern syria t...

On somebody like the authority, but everything we know about this. we know the chinese contrary was widely touted, its not their client state. what we know is this dictator in north korea may have learned from the examples of saddam hussein and gadhafi, and they gave up weapons of mass destruction and ended up captured and executed. he can reach parts of the united states with missiles. this is simply not a time for the kind of crude taunts and the school yard foolishness coming out of the white...
