0 allies and he showed none of that. >> what did you think, andrea about what i thought, i'll see if you agree that this is the first time you came up about the conflict and the president is giving a speech. if you haven't seen anything happening up until now in 10 days you might think, okay, i get it. we're going wait for a diplomatic solution, fine. but it seemed divorced from the reality of what happened and on the ground and overseas. over the past 10 days. >> right. message has been conflicted there has been so much distance coming from the white house. the president didn't have to do very much. i will say he did better he did in the past and in television interviews yesterday and better than when he addressed the country on saturday. you know, to me it was very bizarre, dana he is making a case to the american people people. >> he intercepted orders through front line troops and told them to put on gas masks. what more proof do you have? >> i think, energy? >> i think you need someone to say we did this. you need one -- one of the other side. military people who may or may not be detecting should say look we did it. we did it. >> come on. they interrupted -- interrepted what? >> if you're going kill a bunch of people you better be right about what you're doing. >> the military of assad military tells front line soldiers to put on gas masks what other conclusion can you reach? >> that may be someone from within al qaeda did it. >> ob or there is. >> or broke in and got into the communications office, right? >> there is a school of thought or an argument being made through i don't know who would defend assad saying someone in his military ordered witness out his permission. i doubt that to be true. >> i think that is applausible explanation and also made to be plausible by assad as a convenient way to say he is innocent. that someone else did it. >> plet me ask you think. do you think now the it snath would vote to approve military action? >> well, first of all i thought it was a very good speech. very late, it should have been given two weeks ago. before these perceptions have hardened on both sides. i think it's difficult this, is like the weekend before election. you know? you, votes are hard and you try to change vo.s it's difficult to do. and but i do think he made the case of national security of the united states z in terms of proof about assad you can -- there is not a jury in the country that -- . >> where is our national security threat? what threat to the united states is assad posing now? >> assad has a batch of chemical weapon that's can get in the hands of al qaeda. >> there is a better chance if we take assad out. >> we'll talk taking his weapons out. >> that is one thing administration has conceded they can't guarantee they'll fully do. they can't promise he won't either, a, strike again, or two, strike in a different way not using wmd. i don't think anyone is sitting here going does he have wmd but assad doesn't have them. the question is to your credit he used them far, far earlier this year, killed over 100,000 people before this latest wmd attack why did the president wait? why didn't he listen sooner? why did he let a secretary of state call hit hitler saying hurry up, then wait. >> by wait you're very grumpy. i thoughteed yooud be in a better mood its a question of trying to get what he said in the proper perspective. i think of the evidence there is not a doubt in my mind. the question if this works if the russian proposal works, and russians provided them with this, if they get it out of there and they can count it and un is overseeing that, that means it's going to be the time. >> i think it's realistic. >> i think -- let's see. they asked ghaddaffi do-to-do the same thing there. boom. they have drugs stuck down their under pants hiding it and giving to it friends. the same thing. >> if you get 90% of it -- . >> it's going to be our job. >> it's going to send a organizing. >> one thing. >> well, one thichblgt one qualification he had like everybody else, a total exaggeration. one thing he can't do. he's a disgrace to community organizers. i don't know. one thing i want ta talk about confiscating weapons from syria might be harder than it is to just bomb them. that is like your cable company going take the box. sooner or later they're going to get the box back. >> i think they're slipping away fast. they had to try to stop him before he was knocked out of the senate. >> i think they've done that. >> stop the bleeding is a long way from full support. i guess we'll get reports tomorrow on how that went. weerp going continue our analysis and later, tomorrow's anniversary of the benghazi terrorist attacks. the victims' families are still waiting for justice skpf course, it's the september 11th anniversary as well, stay with us. can travel over a mile.
