Isnt a great analogy and then to bring in the chemical weapons aspect of it. >> its just so jarring. throughout the entire campaign and up until this chemical gas attack, by assad, trumps policy was essentially to accept assad as a fact on the ground. >> repeated tweets when he was a citizen against president obama. >> to argue that assad is not the real problem. its isis. were going to go after isis. if that makes us a tacit ally of assad, so be it. >> i question whether he thought sean spicer ...

Russian president vladimir putins nearly two-hour meeting with the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson. until that meeting actually took place, it was entirely unclear whether these two leaders would meet in person. one sign of the intense tensions over the u.s. missile strike in syria. secretary tillerson just held a news conference with his russian counterpart. they were candid about tillersons words, the low point in the relationship between the u.s. and russia, especially regarding the cur...

Syrian president bashar al-assad to hitler. >> somebody despicable as hitler who didnt think of using chemical weapons, you have to if youre russia ask yourself is this a country that you and a regime that you want to align yourself with? heather: clarifying remarks on special report after coming under fire saying that his intentions were only to condemn assad for his gas attack. >> today i was trying to describe the attack that assad made on his own people of using chemical weapons, frankly, i ...

Well talk about this. cnn global affairs correspondent adlyse lavitz is here. you hear her words to russia, you are isolating yourselves from the international community every time assad drops another barrel-bomb on his people. your take on this? >> thats right, katie. she said russia has to choose to side with assad or to side with the civilized world. that is really the message of this administration, the message that secretary of state tillerson is taking to moscow. and really the message of ...

Richard, are you with me? >> yes, brooke. for the eighth time, russia has vetoed a u.n. security council resolution regarding the horrors going on over in sear yeah. the russian veto was expected but considering the nature of the chemical weapons attack in syria last week, some thought there might be some relenting. this resolution would have called on moscow and president assad of syria to cooperate with an investigation and to turn over helicopter pilots for interviews, flight logs, find out w...

That russia was either complicit or incompetent when it came to the gas attack. ladies, theres a joint press conference for later today early evening moscow time which could produce a lot more than the typical diplomatic nicety depending on exactly they want to air what happened in private out in public. heather: leland, we were just discussing during your report, has there been a specific announcement whether or not tillerson meet with president putin. >> so far no, thats pretty telling in the ...

Roma th iromo that were not going into syria. >> i agree that they seem to be coalescing toward a more coherent approach about the civil war. they have not talked about that at all until this gas attack and then only then prior was the talk about the practicality of assads thing. so their policy on syria is evolving, and i do think that you cant have it both ways. you cant say ill not telegraph the move and the president tweeted also that he was sending a strike group to the waters of the korean...

Anymore, what assad is doing with killing innocents, which is been going on for five years over the course of the obama administration, do you think president trump was right to take action finally? >> i think that a lot of people are encouraged that a gas attack like this is getting a response, but again, i want to revisit something you just said. donald trumps son said today that was his daughter who convinced him to do this. his son-in-law wasnt disco >> martha: you really think that ivanka t...

Again, she was fierce looking directly at the russian deputy ambassador telling him "you have no friends in the world. the days of your arrogance are over." this is the eighth time that russia has vetoed a security council resolution for bashar al-assad. basically nikki haley took them outside and shredded the russian argument about this. she started her speech as the president of the security council for many month by talking about that father, the syrian father whose family was killed in the g...
