What has changed in terms of u.s. military involvement in the terrible syrian civil war as of last night is a pretty specific thing. last night was not the first time tht u.s. military has shot tomahawk missiles into syria from u.s. navy ships. this footage is from 2014 when president obama ordered that 47 tomahawk missiles should be fired at fighters inside syria that were thought to be alive with al qaeda. these are 2014 tomahawk strikes. the united states led coalition of arabimations in mann...

Years ago talking to nick paton walsh about this same thing. 3 1/2 years, nothing has changed for the better. so if the trump administration wants to bite this problem off, its a lot bigger than simply launching tomahawks at one relatively obscure air base. >> well, fast forward 3 1/2 years later, i have nick paton walsh still part of this conversation. just bringing in the whole russia factor, keep in mind the biggest troop presence outside of russia is syria. i was listening to the comments at...

Under the u.s. constitution? international or domestic by president trump? >> i think this is was dubious legali legality. i think it was also somewhat hypocritical given the previous comments about syria. his opposition to strikes very much like this. i think it raises all kinds of difficulties ahead. i think it was absolutely the right thing to do. >> how do you square those two? how is it right if it could be illegal and congress should have been involved and you dont have international prece...

Vladimir putin has to speak to. certainly at home he has to show strength. im sure and we know this. there were private communications yesterday. the u.s. made it clear to the russians that it did not want to kill or injury or hurt or strike russian capabilities or people on the ground there. the u.s. wanted to make that clear. the reports from the ground that russian forces were seen leaving before the strikes took place. so russia has to say something. it does have an effect. the u.s. has take...

Launching last nights strikes. the white house did inform two dozen lawmakers before taking action. legislators are urging the president to involve congress if more needs to be done. concerned with the humanitarian situation on the ground in syria also starkly different from his campaign rhetoric. >> if i win, theyre going back. >> reporter: in which he argued against allowing syrian refugees into the united states. >> i always say trojan horse. what happens? >> reporter: the situation also evol...

Which the russian military was warned by the u.s. of the forthcoming tomahawk strikes. that telephone will no longer ring. no mechanism in the future for the united states to warn the russians if they are going to strike at targets inside syria at the ally in the middle east. >> thank you, matthew. jim sciutto is back with us. also joining us is david gregory. associate editor is a.b. stoddard. and military analyst james "spider" marks. thank you for being with us this morning. a.b., lets talk...

Against the norms of international law. under a far fetched pre-text. there was no chemical weapons strike carried out by the syrian military against the area in southern idlib province. it was a regular air strikes. against the storage facility in which rebels were keeping their chemical munitions. thats what caused the horrific loss of life. thats the version of events the russians are sticking to. the kremlin saying the syrian army has no chemical weapons. there has been action taken, though,...

A sense, back to the obama policy which is, we want to get rid of assad but this is now the trump administration so if you want to get rid of assad, are you willing to stay the course and put military power to bear? are you willing to do more strikes? and if you are, i think that the scenarios that the other guests have outline ready entirely plausible. theres going to be pushback and backlash, not just from the russians, potentially from the syrians, from the iranian allies. remember, there are...
