comments made by kerry or the president that syria will be punished for the slaughter of 400 children and 1400 people, much less another 100,000. i was just talking to a friend of mine. 100 years from now historians may be looking back at this episode even so far as one of the most bizarre in history. when you talk about the chemical weapons, i want the go back to right before august 21. sort of the day of the gassings, although there were other incidents apparently. that was sort of when the so-called red line was passed. i was reading about the unit that moves the chemical weapons in syria. unit 450. what it says whenever unit 50 moves chemicals into position to mix and deploy they first have to missouri heavy equipment. they have heavy equipment to move to the areas in order to mix it and israel and the united states is watching. if we are capable of watching
upper hand with them when our president can be end run like that in an op-ed in the new york times that essentially humiliates him and addressed the american people. the fact that we got into a position where that can happen, i thought was rather grim. i think the white house handled the reaction to the putin op-ed well. they didn t dwell on it. there was buzz everywhere else with the consensus being that it took a lot of chutzpah and president obama turned the other cheek and focused on the goal. i thought the white house handled that part of things well. that s p.r., but the russian president feels free to go around the president, speak directly to the american people. he knew how to do it and it happened. that s the problem. what s disgusting to me is there is an american p.r. firm that for years has been taking money from russia and representing them and being their p.r. representative in america. i don t believe for a second that vladimir putin wrote that
aspect of this is when the president is hurt in terms of credibility or p.r. around the world it i does hurt us. yeah. i agree. whether you re republican or democrat you ought to have an interest in having our president look strong. look strong in the world. you want the president to look strong, confident and be the leader of the free world. that s what i want for any president. especially right now for president obama. when i saw the putin on sep-op- not mad the new york times ran it, but i want america to say, excuse me, vlad, i don t think you are allowed to do that on the world stage to our president. to stand together and fight for president obama against vladimir putin. the article came out oh right before we went on air. i thought if the white house didn t see it coming and i don t think they saw it coming it shows how poor our communication is with russia and how poor it is that we are able to get the

unit 50 move this heavy equipment by satellite or whatever, weren t we watching it prior to august 21? shouldn t we have known? it was well known that he d used chemical weapons in smaller amounts. even that incident. aren t we carefully watching what s going on there? it s not that easy. you can see heavy equipment. you re not sure what some of it is containing. but the lesson here is that if he had any idea that he was going to account for and help get rid of the chemical weapons why in the world would he use his special unit to disperse them to 50 places and places hopefully that we wouldn t know ? it is a contradiction on the ground of what s being said or assumed by the president and john kerry.
