Various actions that might be taken to help enforce that norm. His comments came a short time after the white house released a declassified version of an Intelligence Report. It detailed the evidence against syrian leader Bashar Al Assad fors. What we know about the alleged chemical weapons attack in damascus last week. Its something the secretary of state john kerry says matters to all of us he called it a crime against conscience its are will its findings are clear as compelling. Dont take my word for it all of you, read for yourselves the evidence from thousands of sources. Harris that report claims Syrian Chemical Weapons workers were on the ground three days before the attack preparing for it. And on the day of the mass killing, regime members prepared by putting on their own gas masks. The u. S. Also claims to have intercepted communications from a senior syrian official who confirmed the regime used chemical weapons expressed the u. N. Might point out. 100 videos purport to show 100 bodies nerve exposure to nerve agents. You have seen videos on this news program and elsewhere. Obviously difficult to watch. They show people with no physical visible injuries survivors foaming at the mouth. Denied all the allegations that we just mentioned accuse the u. S. Of using them to justify a military strike u. N. Reports weapons inspectors have finished gathering chemical weapons was used. They are expected to report back in the coming days. The white house is clearly readying the nation for military involvement. Team fox coverage now with the crisis in syria. Jonathan hunt is in our new york headquarters. First though to ed henry at the white house. Came to power owe posing the war in iraq now tonight mulling unilateral u. S. Action. That is because is he basically alone on the world stage right now. He has got mixed message from the european allies as to whether they are on board in russia the whole reset has fallen and tatters at the United Nations scwown and so thats been blocked. He doesnt have a mandate there. He has got questions on schil about whether or not he should be seeking their approval and authorization as well. So today the president started making the case and repeatedly said he is reluctant warrior. Not going to be openended commitment. He talked about that while putting his secretary of state john kerry out there giving a much more passionate case for why they cannot do nothing. Take a listen. Ultimately we dont want the world to be paralyzed. Frankly part of the challenge can a that we end up with here people think something should be done but nobody wants to do it. This crime against conscience. This crime against humanity. This crime against the most fundamental principles of International Community, against the norm of the International Community. This matters to us. And it matters whotowho we are and leadership and our credibility in the world. John kerry going on to call president assad in syria a thug and a murderer. They still are having a hard time selling it even within the democratic party. Former president jimmy carter today putting out a statement saying it would be against International Law if the president goes in with unilateral military action in syria without a u. N. Mandate, harris. Harris president carter even went as far as saying we ought to be holding a peace summit before anything else. All of the announcements and the speeches aside, ed, what people wanted to see made public is that intel report. Is it swaying anybody at this point . It doesnt look like its swaying a lot of people on capitol hill. They are trying to make a case to the public but also to lawmakers on both parties about how they have got human intelligence. They have got some communications intercepts that they believe can show that they can at least pin the source of this chemical attack that john kerry today charged killed over 1400 people mostly women and children they can pin it if not on Bashar Al Assad himself but his regime. If you go and look at some the key republican lawmakers reviewing. This people like buck mckean. They were surprised they didnt hear from the president himself. And you have got military experts wondering whats the strategy. Take a listen. So they had all of the main players but we did not have the commander and chief i was really disappointed in that. Mellow drama is not a substitute for a strategy. That was all mel la drama appealing to the emotions. We need hard headed rationale analysis and strategy. Now tonight democratic senator joe manchin is nanged the president call both chambers of congress back to work, debate this and get a congressional authorization. Officials in both parties say thats highly unlikely to the president tonight alone mulling this, harris. Harris the story unfolding late today and ed, before i let you go, i want to echo. So things im reading online to get your thoughts about this. People are saying if the Prime Minister of Great Britain went to his parliament to get a vote, shouldnt the president of the United States go to congress what word are we hearing from the white house on that issue . Well, the white house has repeatedly said look, we have been consulting with congress but they are not actually Getting Congress approval. On one hand theyre right because, you know, we had the president yesterday calling directly speaker john boehner. Calling Senate Minority leader Mitch Mcconnell briefing them on the latest. Giving them some ideas at least of what his options may be. Lets remember that barack obama as a candidate for office in 2008 didnt say that his president , he would call the congressional leaders and mull it over with them. He said specifically in the case of iran, not syria. But iran that if he needed military force, or was mulling, bombing iran. He would make sure and get congressional authorization first before moving forward. Thats not what he is doing in this case. And thats one of his problems tonight, harris. Harris ed henry live outside the white house as we can see. Thank you very much. Looming over all of this is what happened 10 years ago. You heard ed alluding to it there when the u. S. Invaded iraq secretary john kerry admitting that tonight. Our Intelligence Community has carefully reviewed and rereviewed information information regarding attack. I will tell it you has done so more than mindful of the iraq experience. We will not repeat that moment. And the man who was in charge during that moment spoke to fox news earlier today about the possibility of striking the government of syrian leader Bashar Al Assad. I was not a fan of mr. Assad. He is ally of iran. And he has made mischief. The president is going to have to make a tough decision. Former president bush faced his own tough decision a decade alone bypassing the Human Security council after france threatened to veto. Now it appears france may be only partner against syria. We have reported british lawmakers voted against taking part in potential strike against syria. Team fox coverage continues now with correspondent john than the hunt. The u. N. Weapons inspectors could leave syria at any moment. The United Nations has said that those weapons inspectors will be out of syria by saturday morning. It is now just after 2 00 a. M. In damascus, which means those inspectors could in theory be out already or will be in the next few hours. That might remove one of the last impediments to president obama ordering a military strike. The inspectors are bringing out with them all the samples and evidence that they have collected. Those, according to u. N. Officials, will be taken to labs in europe for exhaustive analysis. Listen. Before the mission can draw conclusions about this incident. Available information la bore tore analysis of all samples must be completed. And we understand that the secretary general of the United Nations told the permanent five members of the Security Council that include the u. S. And russia, of course today that that analysis and final conclusions could take up to two weeks. Now, of course, reading between the lines, the secretary of state john kerry pretty much dismissed the u. N. Investigation today as irrelevant because u. S. Officials, of course, have already drawn their own conclusions. Harris . Harris you can wouldnt the warships out there, too. The u. S. Warships as well. Well, strong reaction, jonathan to all of this tonight from syrias top diplomat. Yes, a statement said to be from the Syrian Foreign Ministry was read tonight on syrian state run television. In it, the syrian foreign minister apparently said that the claims made by secretary of state kerry and other u. S. Officials, quote are completely fictional. Their source is armed groups in syria. And foreign opposition groups who are calling for american involvement. A scene that reminds people of the sort of fabricated lies made by colin powell prior to the occupation of iraq. And talking of iraq, it appears that president obama may have a far smaller coalition than president bush had when he launched that war. The only ones who are willing, perhaps, to take part in any military action are the french whose president said today quote all the ops are on the table france wants action that is in proportion and firm against the damascus regime. Not take part in military action that was a surprise and obviously a blow to president obama. It is worth pointing out, harris, that not taking part in militar not the same as not supporting that action if it is taken by others. And it would be very surprising to hear the British Government or indeed many other countries actually go as far as criticizing u. S. Military strikes if, indeed, president obama does go ahead and order them. Harris . Harris thats an excellent point. We also heard germany say today they havent been officially asked, jonathan. If they are, they would opt out on the action using military, as you point out very astutely that does not mean they do not support it jonathan, thank you. Intelligence analysts apparently gathered evidence on syria using everything from Satellite Photos to videos on social media. Ahead, how they actually obtained the information in that intel report that could lead to an American Military strike. And the facts on syrias chemical weapons. How many do they have . How did the Program Begin . And why pentagon Officials Say it would take tens of thousands of troops. Americans on the ground if the president were to decide to secure all the chem weapon sites.

Intelligence report on syria citing several pieces of evidence that will prove the assad regime gassed its own people including in that intel report some revealing satellite pictures. Catherine herridge is live in washington now. Catherine, what are we learning . Harris, think of the intelligence assessment having four boxes that need to be checked. Number one, identifying the them call agent. Number two, how it was fired. Number three, who controlled the delivery system, in this case, rockets. And number four, the chain of command. Who made the call to launch the attack. The assessment released by the Administration Today seems to check all of those boxes. And offers a possible motivation that the Syrian Regime uses chemical weapons to gain the upper hand or break a stalemate in areas where they are struggling to hold the territory, harris. Harris what is the key evidence on this. According to secretary kerry today an electronic intercept most like lay phone call from those close to assad. We know that a senior regime official who knew about the attack confirmed that chemical weapons were used by the regime. Reviewed the impact and actually was afraid that they would be discovered. We know. This and we know what they did next. Among the other compelling data points. 100 videos cited by the administration of the aftermath just like this one where victims showed the classic signs of exposure to chemical weapons including seizures that the assessment says that coo not have been fabricated by the opposition and social media citing reports from at least 12 different location around damascus of chemical filled rockets being seen and used, harris. Harris as you look at all the evidence, what are the caveats . This document when you look at it very closely is not called an intelligence assessment. But, rather, its labeled a u. S. Government assessment. And an analyst who works in this field told fox news tonight that its highly unusual to have high confidence levels across the board and that, in their career, they have only used high confidence levels twice. There are also two lines here that seem to leave some wiggle room for the administration, quote . Our high confidence assessment is the strongest position that the u. S. Intelligence community can take short of confirmation. We will continue to seek Additional Information to close gaps and our understanding of what took place. And intelligence assessment often includes whats called opposing judgments. And in laymans terms, thats an alternate point of view. And it is significant that none are presented here. We asked the office that produced this report whether there are alternate judgments and if there are, why they were not released and if they will be made public, harris. Harris that is fascinating. We have a general coming up later this hour. Im going to put that question he to him about what you just taught us all watching. Thank you, catherine. You are welcome. Harris many analysts consider syrians stockpile of chemical weapons to be the largest in the world. They estimate the size to be up to 1,000 tons. They believe those weapons are scattered mostly in the modern part northern part of the country. Syrian alabama began in the 1970s, soviet union that supplied the chemical agents and training. Thats according to previously declassified u. S. Documents. In the past the pentagon has said if called upon to neutralize all those weapons, it would take some 75,000 troops. Because there are so many of them stored in so many different locations. Well, we will go live to the pentagon and jerusalem. As you know, our strongest ally in the middle east is our friend israel. We will talk about their place in all of this. And, the teenager on trial for shooting a baby dead right in his stroller. Tonight, we have the verdict.
