weapons attack and we are negotiating a resolution. is it premature? it seems almost unthinkable they will agree to any kind of punishment or global justice of any form. >> alex, that's exactly the problem. russia is blocking any kind of pressure on assad to stop the slaughter. the issue is not just chemical weapons. that was a horrible attack. say 1400 killed. there are over 100,000 killed with conventional weapons. russia is doing nothing with assad to stop the slaughtering of civilians. they are saying no to condemnation, arms embargo, international criminal court. they aren't even let humanitarian aid cross the border. russia is becoming the knopf nation.
