Well, turning now to our first look at politics, the crisis in syria, im joined by bob franken live in washington. Bob, good morning, thanks for being here. Good morning. I want to start with this oped that putin wrote in this mornings New York Times. How do you think that will impact kerrys meeting with his russian counterpart . Who knew, putin, the pundit. Next thing well hear hes hired at msnbc as a contributor. Do you think it will have an effect on the efforts taking place . Probably not. This was a little bit of snarkiness rubbing the nose of the United States in it just a little bit lecturing such things about exceptionalism and lecturing about a country meaning the u. S. Has that been relying on brute force, et cetera, et cetera. As i said, he has the advantage right now and this was just an effort to gloat about it a little bit. Who do you think was the real audience here . Is it the American Public . Is it congress . Is it the International Community . Who was he speaking to . Yes. All three. Yeah, all three. Probably more the American Public. The message is that i was just mentioning, particularly what he had to say about american exceptionalism which during the president s speech some were disappointed that he seemed to be pandering to those who are jingoisticic and constantly talk about american exceptionalism. A whole school of thought the more you talk about how exceptional you are the more questions you raise about who you are. Some nerve writing that in an american newspaper. Not the best audience. The Washington Post is reporting that the u. S. Is delivering weapons to some Syrian Rebels. When you look at that combined with these new diplomatic efforts, does this essentially mean that the military strikes are really off the table now . Well, it would seem that way. But it would also seem that the United States meaning the white house was looking for a way out of the confrontation that was about to occur and the embarrassment at the very least of congress saying no to authorization. As far as the small weapons are concerned, there are those who would say that there should be more involvement who say its too little too late, on the other side you say youre just arming some people with favoritism towards al qaeda. All right, very complicated issue here. Bob franken. It is complicated. Thanks so much for your time this morning, bob.
