Issues. secretary of state john kerry yesterday called for enforceable benchmarks to eradicate chemical weapons from syria. how do you go about such an enormous task? we re fortunate that we have the united nations with years of expertise and working with other multi lateral partners to come up with a regime that will be transparent and enforceable to ensure that there will be benchmarks throughout the process of removing chemical weapons from syria and destroying those chemical weapons. you say benchmarks and the secretary of state said benchmarks but give us in very practical terms what that means for people who don t follow this general link. by november the syrians must allow u.n. inspectors to see all sites where they re currently storing chemical weapons in syria. by november, all of the equipment they use to mix the chemical weapons that were used to kill the civilians have to be destroyed. that s a concrete benchmark. that s november. next week we re going to see whether ....

Timetable. secretary kerry didn t like the timetable that the russians laid out. also of course the most pressing thing on the table right now are military strikes. the united states doesn t want to take that off the table, the russians do. what do you think needs to be done? well, i think that we have to continue to vet the russia proposal out. we have to put it in a pressure cooker and make sure it can withstand the pressure. secretary kerry and minister lavrov will continue to talk. next week the united nations is expected to present its report on syria s use of chemical weapons, and those are two very important benchmarks. at that point we should make an assessment on where we go from there. can you guess at a conclusion? because nobody much can right now. everything seems so up in the air and kind of messy and kind of scary frankly. we have learned one thing about this process from the russians and from the syrians that the only thing that you can predict is the unpredictabl ....

By let me bring in another idea here with congressman steve israel. always good to see you. good morning. thanks for having me on. what do you make of this? there will be apparently, in the short term, no announcement of any public deadline? does there need to be a deadline? does congress want a deadline? should it be internal or public? i don t think artificial deadlines ever work in the foreign policy. you have to have certain realities and i think we have two realities over the next week or so. benchmark number one is that secretary kerry and minister lavrov are meeting in geneva. that may take a couple of days and not just adopt the is and cross the ts, but see what are the is and what are the ts. that s assessment number one. the united nations chemical weapons inspectors will be producing their report some time next week. we should take a look at that and put those benchmarks together and then determine how ....

They need to put this in a pressure cooker. if it withstands pressure, we should take it. i believe putin s calculated that it is in his interest to do a deal. we have to ascertain whether it s in our interest to do this deal. here s my question, when you look at david kay and other united nations inspectors, they say that this is virtually impossible to do. you have huge amount of chemical weapons scattered around the country in the middle of a civil war. and the process of going in there and taking care of those would be enormously complex. doesn t it worry that it s an interesting ploy but that in reality, the complexity of doing it is going to make it very hard? we won t know whether it s a ploy or a play, whether it s real or not until we vet it out. that s our responsibility right now. we have a couple of benchmarks. one is what happens in geneva. and the second is that the u.n. will produce its report some time next week and congress will take a look at these report. those two ....

Lay out in clear terms what the rationale is, here, why we are doing what we are doing. with new developments what the standard are from the president s perspective of what make the burgeoning diplomatic process legitimate. right? everyone is talking this can t be fate, can t be them kicking the can down the road. there has to be an outline for domestic political consumption and international consumption about what the standard the president will apply to the unfolding diplomatic process that would make that diplomatic process real and meet the criteria laid out about enforcing the international norm. don t you just get right into an ultimatum there. isn t that benchmarks that are timelines, locking us into action ahead of time that they re not going to want to take once that benchmark comes? yeah, yeah, i think that s right. look, i think what the president has to duo is explain to people why this should be important to them. why should it be important to me, do you, to ed? and br ....
