Coordinates, gps coordinates, just like in your car. so they have to have a specific spot programmed in. if that artillery piece is moving around, they're going to have to keep reprogramming the new location, the new location, and keep doing it. now, the military tells us they know very well how to do this. they keep satellites overhead. that is public knowledge. and they keep a very close watch on what the syrian regime is up to. but you know, they're going to -- i mean, the more the days go on, the more retargeting you do, the more he hides his things, possibly as chemical weapons, possibly ...

Warships aimed at a range of targets inside syria. you see them there. each ship has about 40 tomahawks missiles on board guided to targets by gps sat lied coordinato coordinates. they have to keep the satellites over syria plugging the coordina coordinates into the missiles ready to go when ordered. >> is there any concern this delay will help the assad regime? >> that's the question. yeah. as the satellites spay overhead and look for any moves of syrian military forces so they can keep track, get the gps coordinates and put them in the u.s. missiles, the question is what will the syrians be ...

The country and any dispersal of forces around assad may be undertaken and they believe he is to avoid a possible u.s. attack. so they are talking a lot about being able to cope with all of this. but the real reality is we are not seeing any specifics. john? >> what does the delay mean for the u.s. warships that are in the med titerranean right now, e targets that may have been targeted this weekend will not be the targets ten days from now if congress approves of the measure. >> exactly. they might not be. the tomahawk missiles use gps satellite coordinates to be guided to their targets very ...

The president's orders at this point. >> do you know how long from the time that execute order is given to actually missiles going out is? >> that's a really interesting question because you know, the tomahawk missiles are programmed with gps coordinates guided by the satellite to the very precise target they are intended to hit. that's why everybody talks about it as a precision weapon. some of them are already programmed. we believe some may be reprogrammed to the targets may be updated along the way. that's what some of the military sources are telling us tonight. so it's a little bit uncle...

Their men, troops and equipment in the last several days dispersing it in advance of what they thought was planned u.s. attack. this will mean the u.s. military to be ready will have to keep targeting, retargeting, loading those missiles with new gps coordinates. not complicated. they know how to do it but it's an intelligence challenge. they'll have to keep after this. make sure they know where all the targets are in syria so when the president calls, indeed they're ready to go. and, most importantly, there's another no answer to this question. what if the syrian regime engages in another che...
