Auspices the geneva process largely stalled theres a second per track the astonishing to go she ations sponsors of that are russia iran and turkey neither the u.s. nor the e.u. has been involved in pushing those negotiations forward in fact foreign ministers couldnt even be bothered for the past year to hold a meeting about syria they did do so in this february but that was the first time in the year that theyd really spoken about it so suddenly they have rediscovered diplomacy the fact is diplo...

Partners backed by 73 countries and entities, by the way, is in syria. we are all together in syria for the sole defeat of isis. but when you see a monster attacking his own people, it is incumbent upon the united states to act. so that is why we did this. now, in terms of solving the entire problem in syria, how do we do that? the united states and many other countries believe in the geneva process. that means that its backed by a gentleman called stefan demastur demastura and that means a poli...

There because it was a face-saving out for the obama administration not to do anything. they were supposed to get rid of these weapons concern. paul: right. >> and then they got a foothold. so i think what the president ultimately has to do, we have to change the equation from worrying about what putins going to do to bad guys worrying about whats america going to do. >> we have to establish leverage on the ground. if president trump -- paul: on the ground, whoa, whoa. you mean troopsesome. >> n...

Firmly behind the process. many other countries around the dworld as well. thats a political process. we dont see the end result as being achiefed through military means. once the country can be stabilized and we are a lopg way off from that point but when that country does get there the united states and coalition partners, there are 73 members that can help get syria to the geneva process. people will be able to vote for who they want to run that country. imagine the millions of syrians, being...

Responsible party. >> you underscore theres still work to be done. what does the president mean when he tweets out "mission accomplished?" >> i think he means mission accomplished in terms of we took out and degraded three chemical weapons sites in syria. we hope that will bring syria to the table. help russia bring syria to the table. letting them know this kind of behavior will not be tolerated. lets take a look back at the number of people who have been killed. innocent civilians in the past ...

Calculation. did we get rid of all of the it? no. i think asad knows that if he uses chemical weapons he can see an escalation of what we saw last night since it was significant escalation from a year ago when assad used chemical weapons back then. these are the issues they need to be thinking about. the russians and the iranians need to be doing everything to push assad to participate in the geneva process. this is already a u.n. established process to solve this civil war and i believe assad m...

He said the combined american and british response to these american atrocities will integrate all instruments of our national power. ill ask you the same question i asked -- no, no, he didnt say the strikes. he did not say the strikes. he said the response, that response he was talking about. he put it back in their court. if they do it again then theres possibly more military action. but i think everybodys getting a bit confused about the word sustained used by the president and the word one s...

Were trying to get him to think of the big picture. the u.s. does want to respond to the chemical weapons. doesnt want to escalate, doesnt want to get into a war with russia or iran. that was the message to the russians and iranians. the question is whats the strategy now. it doesnt really seem there is a strategy for moving forward. you know, i just saw, just before we came on, a statement by senator lindsay gram. and says, you know, im glad the president took these strikes. they dont go far en...

Doors. you can have regime change happen diplomatically. the geneva process is already established once theres an agreement, there should be elections 18 months after that agreement. there no specific talk about what should happen with assad. my opinion he has to go. hes killed as the previous commentator said more than half a million of his own countrymen. a lot of those brutally. i think you can see a change in the political dynamic there in syria with a process thats supported by the u.n. >> ...

Attack on the skripals, the russian father and daughter here in england. there is a coordinated now feeling that we cannot, they cannot let this proceed any further, and this lesson has to be late down now to once again establish the baseline, the foundation, of this red line. at the same time, they have said this is not about regime change. this is not about getting involved in the other parts of the war. and the french president and indeed general mattis and president trump basically threw the...
