Hes going to speak directly to the American People about the potential for limited military action in syria. Hes going to do that at 9 00 tonight. As i said last night, its appropriate to allow other conversations to go on. We now have, as a result of some work done by other countries, france, russia, and we understand syria is involved in this, this is aimed at avoiding military action. Well have to see if this works out. Very important to understand that the only way russia is seeking to avoid military, the president obama has made it clear the its will act if we must. Our credible threat of force has made these diplomatic discussions with syria possible. And the United States should withdraw from the direction were taking as a country. If theres a realistic chance and i hope there is to secure syrias chemical weapons to avoid further atrocities of the assad regime, we should not turn our back. But the regime must quickly prove their offer is real, not a ploy to delay military action

I rise today to speak on the syria. The real issue is that they gassed more than 426 children and their parents. Those who perished died a horrific, unnecessary deaths. We must come together and docked with the president to create a credible threat of force and thereby deter the future use of chemical weapons. Thatsomewhat optimistic syria is willing to place its chemical weapons under International Control and the solution could possibly bring a peaceful resolution but we must remember that a ron is also watching. Iran is also watching. Will they really stand up against the plan to build Nuclear Weapons . We need to send a message to the world that we mean what we say.

Pope francis repeated his appeal for children and the poor saying the world has to learn to cry over their fate. She joins us live where i gather people are packing up and starting to disperse. The pope left the mass on his pope mobile and really tried to get as close as he could with the crowd. Reporter he did. He was kneeling down. He must have a buzzer i think.

I think everyone was hoping for divine intervention. Obviously, that is the tail end of the typhoon that hit the philippines yesterday. Despite
