Storm this morning. Wait until you see how it ends up. Fox friends begins right now. Good morning, everybody. Its the 8th of september. We begin with a fox news alert. In a few hours top members of the Obama Administration finally a, a proposed strike on syria. Oneonone interviews with networks planned before a National Address on tuesday. Is it too little too late. Peter doocy is live in washington to tell us the latest. Peter. Days the real start of the nfl season. But before any of the games begin, the white house is going to be kicking off a major Public Relations public sending their chief of staff Dennis Mcdonagh to every sunday show to make the case against the assad regime. Something weve heard a lot of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle say is the majority of their constituent phone calls and emails are strongly opposed to entering another conflict in the middle east. So the white house is doing to change their minds today and hope they can convince those members of the public to sway their members of congress. Because right now the Washington Post had the running tally of yeas and nays for syria action in their stay out of syria column which includes members that publicly vote no or leaning no when it comes to authorizing force against assad. Already up to 223 members of thats half a dozen more than 217 votes needed to block passage. President obama has scheduled a National Address for tuesday evening that will let him try to personally convince the American People that attacking assad is a good idea. But before that, tomorrow hes going to sit down with anchors from nbc, abc, cbs, cnn, pbs and fox. Youre going to be seeing a lot of president obama on tv in the next two days and thats exactly what the white house wants. Also thats when house and Senate Return from summer recess and start debating resolution to authorize force on the floor. Back to you. All right. Peter doocy live in washington. Thanks for keeping track of those numbers this morning. The president needs a majority here doing forward. The video being used to sell the senate so to speak, behind the scenes were learning the white house that shown videos, 13 different videos to the senate to get them to come on board to show them the atrocities. By the way, were not going to show you these videos because its sunday morning. They are gruesome, as worse as you can imagine them to be they are. The cia has authenticate the videos. By authenticate they believe they are real but the cia has not weighed in exactly what they mean. We know something horrible happened in syria but some of the details are muddy. I will say these videos are publicly available. You can find them on youtube. I can describe them. They are horrifying. Here are details. They have shirtless men squirming around convulsing on the floor. Young boys and girls difficulty breathing, people with ideas and one man foaming at the mouth. These videos they are going to vote, yes, they believe this swayed them. When you see victims and that they are subjected to, it makes a powerful case. Thats the point. Making a powerful emotional case rather than a clear case about how intervening would help the United States in our National Interest, its an emotional case aimed at the brain stem. So hor horrible, youre overwhelmed with emotions. What would be logical reason it would help us or align certain allies making the case that she thinks iran would be on our side. Pay attention to the logic here for a second. Iran would be on our side, would become a United States ally because of the terrible Human Rights Violations by assad. Listen to Samantha Power. We thought perhaps a shared Evidentiary Base could convince russia or iran itself, a victim of saddam husseins monstrous chemical weapons attack in 1977, 78 to cast loose a regime. Its 6 05, i dont want to go off but thats the dumbest thing ive heard anybody say in public. That only if iran knew they were using chemical weapons they would be so horrified on moral grounds they would stop financing hezbollah. Or providing weapons. That somehow the u. N. Ambassador Samantha Power thought the u. N. Inspectors who are in iran because iran is trying to build its nuclear base, that if they just showed them this same evidence, somehow iran would find it in the goodness of their heart to stop supporting assad. No evidence that would happen. Who would believe Something Like that. Iran of all countries. Iran itself used chemical weapons in its war with iraq in the 1980s. Iran financed terrorism around the world. The idea they are going to be moved on humanitarian grounds by some video. It may impress certain senators, its not going to move them. Meanwhile International Support continues to grow, according to secretary kerry. Hes in paris right now trying to sell the war abroad while president obama is about to make the morning shows, sell it at home. He says we now have double digit support. Here is secretary kerry. Listen. There are a number of countries, in the double digits, who are prepared to take military action. I have said previously and i repeat again. We have more countries prepared to take military action than we actually could use in the kind of miller action being contemplated. Remember the democrats on the left very keen on criticizing president bush in the runup to the iraq war and beyond the iraq war for the lack of International Support. This is about a quarter of the support president bush had for the iraq wars attachment a look at some of the countries who are against military intervention right now. Countries who were with us in part during that intervention. Notably United Kingdom against. A large portion of the globe. Lets look at undecided. Did you see iraq is against it. Iraq on that list against. No, but i do see kazakhstan is undecided. As is kyrgystan. Lux omberg. South korea, spain, denmark and georgia. Thats interesting. I hadnt heard who was supporting before other than france. By support, that does not necessarily by any means mean military support. This doesnt mean these are countries that will send their troops over syria. You know who is against us, by the way . The public in the United States. Youre seeing senator pryor, a democratic for election come out against him. A reliable ally for the president. Why . His constituents against it. Every poll ive seen, i dont think ive seen a poll with majority support. First time Major Military intervention in 30 years has gone unsupported largely by the public. Well see what happens by the media blitz happening today on sunday shows as well as tuesday night when the president makes his address. Lets get to some other stories making headlines at this hour.

Initial strategy called for launching tomahawk missiles parked in the mediterranean at the moment. New reports say a strike could include an air attack as well so. What is the best option . With all these changes what is military action turning into. Joining us former chopper pilot amber. Good morning. Our pentagon correspondent who learned pentagon planners have been given at least 50 separate sort of plans or ideas or scenarios to try to work with. Is that obviously the situation is fluid. Is that number typical . Thats definitely a high number. Obama and the administration continue to contradict themselves from red lines to whether or not there are going to be boots on the ground, what the mission is. It shows ambiguity behind obamas intent for a strike in syria. Whether it be an air campaign or missile strike has the possibility of changing the dynamic of the ground war in syria. But when youre leaking information as far as targets and the location and the duration of these strikes, it just mostly shows its a show of force. As youre referring to at first we had heard this was going to be tomahawk missiles launched from our destroys parked there off the syria. But now there are new reports that it could involve b2 and b52 bomber as well. What does that shift tell you . An air campaign is much different than a missile strike from a naval vessel or submarine. A lot more is involved. Theres much more at stake. Theres intensive planning and the costs are much greater. So you have to consider air safe considerations, nofly zones, aerial refueling, Aircraft Recovery procedures, if an aircraft goes down and you have pilots on the ground whether from enemy fire or maintenance when pilots need to be extracted. So all those things need to be considered even if none of our aircraft are inside syrian airspace. That does sound obviously much riskier when you have pilots involved. Why would we be changing it from just missiles . Does that tell you we dont know exactly where the chemical weapons are or do the b52s have more precision in terms of strike . Why would that shift be happening . Well, weve delayed the strike. So weve eliminated any element of surprise. Assad already moving resources and assets. Bombing empty runways and vacant hangars is not going to deter a chemical weapon attack in the future. This is just sending a message to our adversaries if you cross a socalled american red line, all youre going to get is a show of force from the air force that never had an intention of inflicting serious destruction so it wont be effective. The president tried to make a point its an International Red line set up against the use of chemical weapons, certainly leading this charge.
