Without consequences, while response for them rests with washington, london and paris, insulting the president of russia is unacceptable and inadmissible. the u.s. , the possessor of the biggest asker en all of chemical weapons has no moral right to blame other countries, retired u.s. army general and former pentagon deputy secretary secretary of intelligence joining us on the phone. general, obviously the russians were not even consulted we re told or given a heads up on this as they were last year. i m sure that was by design and quite deliberate. what do you think of that? well first of all, the de conflict process certainly did give them some indication of what hasselberg was happening not to mention the fact we ve been talking about this for a week but look neil, this is what i think is important. we need to remember that the russians are complicit in this. it was the russians that were ....
Weapons attacks during the iran-iraq war 1980-1988, a series of them. the iranian people just hate the hell out of chemical weapons because they ve experienced them. so i hope we re going to ramp up a public shame campaign, again, against both the russians and the iranians, but particularly the iranians. they re vulnerable and actually, now because of the proof, they re both vulnerable. so, i hope we come out swinging in public. neil: what if we take this latest development as a reason to say, this agreement that we have with you, iran, you ve just ripped it up yourself? if we re going to try to link it to that, we re going to have some pretty important conversations with our traditional allies on that, the french and the british, of ....

Damage. neil: okay general thank you very very much. the world is just trying to make sense of what happened in syria and whether there could be a follow-up action. so far no indications that there will be but right now, we are focusing on that as russia is demanding this emergency meeting at the u.n. and that is still slated to happen within the next hour. we ll let you know how that goes in fact we ll take you thereafter this. my healthy routine helps me feel my best. so i add activia yogurt to my day. with its billions of live and active probiotics, activia may help support my digestive health, so i can take on my day. activia. now in probiotic dailies. ....
Analyst, much more than that, but the white house says we knew this moment was coming, and the russians would attack us for the proof and we did. in almost context, we threw tomahawks at syria and since we did that there have been between six and 12 chemical attacks by assad on his people. this time well coordinated, pinpoint attack, about 105 missiles and denigrated their use. the problem is, neil, these kind of operations, although they look good and well-executed aren t effective. they re not going to stop assad. the only way this is going to happen is if you go after the russians and iran, which we re not going to do. also, this is is in the middle of a war that syria has about won. we kicked isis ass out of syria, but the war in syria has ....
