0 tell not just lawmakers but this country why it's important onto move forward on syria. >> last week before he brought it congress into this process in a major way he was consulting them but not really giving them a vote if you will on this. it was john kerry the secretary of state, other leaders inside the administration who were really leading the effort and the public case not just to congress but the american people, what graham and mccain are are saying is as commander and chief, the president has got to get his hands dirty and get all over this. and show the congress and the american people why this is right. why this is in our national security interest. the president hasn't done that until now. today was a sign that he is starting to get the message, hairs. >> harris: i'm wondering if anybody is talking there tonight outside the white house or has today about this issue of speeding things up for congress to reconvene early before september 9th? >> they are not talking about that for a number of reasons. the president being out of the country as i mentioned. also a jewish holiday later this week. it might be difficult to get some members of congress back to washington. they have got family and religious interests that are coming up. so the poem line is, it seems highly unlakely they will dual that more likely that we'll have a lot back stage lobbying right now and intensify early next week when they are actually in session. >> harris: ed henry good to he sue, thank you very much. even more u.s. warships are on the way. uss nimitz air carrier group is headed to the region. that's on top confident five military warships in addition to that amphibious assault ship standing by. jennifer griffin at the pentagon this hour. any since the strike plan has changed since the president has asked. >> officials i have spoken to who are intimately involved in the planning, the plan this week and next week is the same as it was last week. the plans are not shifting all that much there are some targets that are shifting as assad moves some of his munitions around some of the targets are shifting about. you these are minor changes to the plan. there is not a since that that u.s. aircraft carrier will come into play. the uss yes, ma'am mits is right now in the southern red sea it is unlikely that we will see u.s. air force involvement or that aircraft carrier involved i'm told by sources that the aircraft carrier was really sent to send a message to russia and iran not to come to the help of the syrian regime. it is really a show of force more than an addition to those five destroyers. u.s. destroyers armed with about 200 tomahawks off the coast of syria right now. we also are hearing reports, harris, that the russians are sending ago spy ship to the eastern mediterranean. that was some here in the pentagon has raised some eyebrows among some here in the pentagon. again, that aircraft carrier should take care of any sort of adventurism on the part of the russians or iranians, harris? >> harris: i wanted to ask you more about that specific ship coming from russia. it's not the first one to move into that region, is meet with our lawmakers is probably just mischief making on his part it is not seriously intended to aid barack obama in his hour of political peril for him and probably nothing will come of it, harris? >> >> and, james, you know, one of the things that we have been talking about with regard to russia is the fact that you have got the g-20 there the president won't be meeting one-on-one with their president because of the -- what's going on with the nsa leaker edward snowden. so they come to this country some question about how that really plays out in the long run. >> right. this is what you are referring to is just one more manifestation of the failure of the attempted re-set of relations between the united states and russia that was much heralded at the beginning of the obama administration. now we see that relationship breaking down across a range of areas. there is still considerable cooperation between the two as we saw after the boston bombing but no doubt it's a problem. it will not be shall we say assuaged by the fact that the president while is he over in russia plans to meet with lesbian and gay groups. that of course after some of the virulently anti-hoaxial laws passed in -- oklahoma cityial >> -- >> harris: britain and france commit weaponry for the military. are we hearing anybody else joining in any of this. >> not in the military sense. as you mentioned other ways for various countries to help the provision of intidges is one important way. refueling capabilities in far off places. those are the ways in which which we could expect our allies to help. absent any kind of military help from these various allies. but it is looking more and more like if any action is going to come, it's going to be conducted why the now the ciabatta is done and the pain is starting again. more pills?
