On the plus side that means 29 of americans know there is a place called syria. This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. Good morning, norah. As you wake up in the west we begin with a showdown. President obama shook hands with russian president putin minutes ago. The two leaders are taking part in the g20 economic summit but the real talk is for support of a u. S. Military strike in syria. Major garrett is traveling with the president. Reporter good morning, norah and charlie. For the First Time Since the disagreement over syria between the United States and russia began to attract real global headlines, president and russian president Vladimir Putin met here at the ceremonial beginning of the g20 economic summit. It was brief and cordial. Meant to paper over the substantive differences the two nations have over syria and what to do in response to a chemical attack. President obama will try to lobby at least 10 maybe more of the g20 nations. Vladimir putin will be doing just the opposite. While lobbying those members he will see in st. Petersburg, his administration is coming over scrutiny for its own lack of details about the syrian conflict. Hours before air force one touched down here the pentagon had to clarify a Statement Given in open testimony to congress by the defense secretary hagel who accused the russian government of providing chemical weapons to the Syrian Regime. The pentagon later in a statement said what the defense secretary meant to say was russia has a longstanding relationship with syria, providing conventional weapon not chemical. No reaction in washington to that gaffe yet. But putin has accused john kerry, the secretary of state, about the role extremists linked with al qaeda play in syrias opposition. Also told congress about 20 , maybe few, of opposition fighters are linked to al qaedabacked groups. Putin believe, the number is much larger and says kerry is lying and knows it. All this is creating a very dicey environment and the president and putin at cross purposes about syria in st. Petersburg making all of this something to watch. A picture in the New York Times today shows some of brutal tactics being used by rebels against the opposition. What do you think pictures like this, stories about the rebels actions, do to the administrations push for military strikes and for backing these rebels . Makes it very complicated, norah and charlie. The administration know that. Thats why you see the president constantly talk about military strikes against the Syrian Regime as being about chemical weapons only. Not tipping the balance of the civil war now in its third year in the direction of any kind of opposition forces. The Administration Knows whatever the number is there are some jihadists and extremists fighting to defeat the assad regime. What the administration would like to do over time is empower and make stronger the moderate opposition forces. It doesnt want to get anywhere near publicly or privately with these jihadist elements but they know theyre there and theyre trying to keep them and that debate at arms length. Major garrett, thank you. Back here at hope a senate panel passed a authorization for military strikes against syria. But the house promises to be a much tougher sell. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Reporter good morning. In fact were even hearing that the house may not be able to take its vote on the resolution until midseptember because there are so many member ss either on the fence or leaning no. Things are going a little more smoothly for the administration in the senate where that successful vote in the Foreign Relations committee yesterday paves the way for a vote in the full senate as early as the beginning of next week. Three republican senators John Mccain Bob Corker and jeff flake join nearly all the democrats on the senate Foreign Relations committee in a 107 vote in favor of striking syria. So long as the president does not put boots on the ground and completes his strikes within 60 days. I think we have narrowly defined what this administration and president can do for a purpose that serves beyond our own peace and security a good for the whole world. Reporter critics like texas republican ted cruz argued limited strike amount to a slap on the wrist that would only encourage syrias regime. Wouldnt doing nothing encourage them to . I believe the u. S. Military should be focused on one thing. Protecting the Vital National security interests of the United States of america. Reporter the secretaries of state and defense were asked about the risks of nonaction at a House Foreign Affairs hearing. If we do nothing, what is the likelihood, in your judgment that Bashar Al Assad will use chemical weapons as a routine weapon to turn the tide of this civil war . I think the likelyihood is very high he will use them again. I agree completely. I might even put it at 100 . Many lawmakers at the hearing said they were being swamped with calls not to strike syria. This represents about 300 emails that my office has gotten and not a one, not a one member in my district in South Carolina are the emails of people who have contacted my office and say go to syria and fight this regime. To a letter they say no do not go into syria. Reporter others argue the nation is duty bound to act regardless of public opinion. If we can stand up and say chemical weapons have no place in this world and do something about it got help us if we dont. Reporter senator john mccain is back in arizona after voting yes yesterday. Hes Holding Town Halls to try to sell intervention to his own constituents. At this point, the secretaries of state and defense are here on the hill. Far more than they are at their own department because they are trying to win over skeptical members of congress. The Intelligence Community is warning reprisal attacks if the United States attacks syria. Threats include cyberattacks against American Companies and government targets. Our Senior Correspondent john miller is a former director. We heard some concerns about these members of congress about a backlash if america attacks. How do you assess those possibilities . Thats what the Intelligence Communitys been working on. Which is what is the likelihood of retaliation and in what form. Parent and part of the calculus is this is an operation against syria for using chemical weapons. If they retaliate against that theyre upping the ante. The question is, would it be syria, would they use hezbollah, with iran step in in the shadows or would it just be cyber . What are they doing to prepare . A number of things. From the fbi standpoint theyre going through their cases and saying where do we have suspected Syrian Intelligence officers . Where do we have sources . Are we looking at iran cases . Are we checking hezbollah files . Are we tickling those wires . Thats for Situational Awareness awareness. Hasnt this started to occur . A group associated with syria has already hacked the New York Times. Theyve hacked former president s email accounts. Hasnt this already begun . When you look at this as our former fbi cyber expert told us last week that could well just be an exhibition game demonstrating some lowend capabilities on the idea that if were struck theres going to be more. So whats the biggest concern they could do . Classified aunt classy edied and unclassified warnings went out to corporate partners, to Cyber Security people saying protect your intellectual property. Make sure all of your defenses are up to date. What theyve been doing now is denial of service. They flood the website so they cant operate anymore. The real danger would be erasing data. When iran attacked it blew up 85 of its hardware. So these can be very serious. These guys havent demonstrated that capability yet. The u. S. Also preparing an attack using warfare . As much if youre going to launch missile strikes on syria, youre going to use your Cyber Capabilities to disable whatever command and control computers, guidance systems and so on and thats something theyve been getting very good at.

Many dealers are running short on cars. Cbs news contributor and analyst melody hobson is with us from los angeles. I have a friend who just tried to go purchase a car and they were told they had to wait several weeks for it. Whats behind this shortage . So during the great recession, we postponed any big decision purchase. Any expensive purchase. People stopped buying cars. To give you a sense of that in any given year this country sells about 16 million cars. In 2009, that dropped to 10 million. So the auto manufacturers pulled back on their manufacturing. Pulled back on their inventory. Then the cars on the road got really old. The average cars 11 years old. So people need a car now. And theyve gone out as the economy has improved and Interest Rates are low and theyre all going out at the same time. Hence the shortage. So supply and demand is tighten tightening. Does that mean prices are going up . Yes for sure. Dont expect to go to that auto dealer and haggle. Because theyre in the cat bird seat because there are so few cars. Specifically now youre seeing prices really firm up. So aed for fusion for example sells for about 26,000 now. Thats 13 more than the same time last year. During a time when car prices overall are down about 1 . Mellody what does this resurgence of the Auto Industry mean for the overall economy . Its a very good thing. Because of the demand were going to see a lot of jobs. The expectation is about 35,000 jobs will be added in the Auto Industry this year. Its a huge industry. Representing about 2 million jobs in this country. So this isnt just good for the auto companies, its not just good for their shareholders its good for all of us because it shows the economy continues to improve. All right.
