Back to his hotel. that was part of how we got sort of informal confirmation we were expecting some sort of statement from the white house. honestly, all week long weve been wondering if there was going to be some sort of statement or if we were going to find out that there had been a military strike. saturday, this past saturday there was the gas attack that prompted what we expected to be a u.s. military response. that gas attack this saturday happened almost exactly at the one-year anniversar...

President putin, accusing the united states offing rev aggrave syrian people. standing by president bashar al assad saying the gas attack was fake and didnt happen. while they had support condemning the strikes, in a sense this is still a win for russia. the u.s. steered clear of russian assets in the region, no russian faces, personnel, aircraft were affected. the syrian air force, as well, kept intact. instead of confronting the west militarily in syria, russia could refocus on what counts mos...

Official comparing trump to hitler in talking about the early morning attack by the nazis on the soviet union in 1941. i mean, some pretty heated rhetoric and verbal salvos coming out of the russians bush no more talk about war with the west on confrontation with the west, and there is of course, the u.n. resolution which is meant to condemn the missile strike, and voted down with only bolivia and china who voted with the russian, and really, the russians are take stistick toin same story that t...

Thanks for staying with us, president trump taking a victory lap this morning calling the strike on syria a success, tweeting it out. these famous words. mission accomplished. u.s. and its allied bombed syrian targets after these images surfaced. this drew widespread condemnation from the u.s., france and uk and denials from russia that the gas attack you see in the pictures actually did take place. but the war of narratives raging in the aftermath. a team of chemical experts is on the ground to...

Picked out as the most likely targets for us to use. so not a -- more likely to be not a one-shot deal like it was in april but a couple of -- not a sustained attack but a couple of days worth of attacks. >> colonel jack, one last question for you. and if you do not want to answer this question, you absolutely do not have to and you can just say good night. but im wondering when decisions like this are made, obviously this gas attack that these strikes are a response to happened last week. the p...

Terrorists who have been tormenting the syrian people for seven years. >> the russians not getting much backing along those lines, still sticking, though, to the story line that there was no gas attack in syria. that this was a fabrication, a provocation on the part of the west in order to justify getting further involved in syria. also claiming that the majority of the missiles fired late last night were struck down by syrians using old like 30--year-old soviet weaponry, of course you heard fro...

And arranged to discuss routine business. president trump will grant a full pardon to scooter libby. he was chief of staff to vice president dick cheney. he was convicted of obstruction of justice and lying to the fbi about leaking the identity of valerie plame. george w. bush granted the pardon. president trump released a pardon against joe arapaio. and now to syria. the white house says there is no final decision on how to respond to the apparent gas attack on civilians in eastern ghouta. ...

I have a hard time believing that donald trump with his career in the past and with lawyers that essentially accompany him into the office did not understand that jim comey wasnt there to serve as his personal investigator. that is beyond comprehension to me. the president chosen to reinterpret the office. he used cabinet members to his personal agenda or what he is supposed to do. it has been turned on its head. we dont see a functioning cabinet across the board. we see a clean-up squad on syri...

Welcome back. the white house says there is no final decision on how to respond to the apparent gas attack on civilians in syria last weekend. the president and british prime minister theresa may have vowed to discuss the matter in the region. we have nick paton walsh in syria. still no military response from the u.s. and allies. syria is about to let in international chemical weapons inspectors. how does that change the calculus of the strike if at all? >> reporter: syria may have already let i...
