Not usual to have this type of classified briefing. members of congress have been flying in from around the country to come to this. to be honest i'm surprised how many i've seen come when told they will have other opportunities later in the week. you cannot underscore enough how critical this is, not necessarily the information they're specifically going to get in here, which is classified information about the intelligence that the obama administration really says proves that bashar al assad did use chemical weapons against his own people and maybe even more information about the military pl...

>> i want to ask you this and then another question. it seems like, the president has put a lot, has he backed himself into a corner here? >> you know, we'll know the answer to that after we see the votes. i know that sounds like a cop out answer, but that's the truth of the matter. this is very risky. he's stunned a lot of people. just a couple of days ago i was reporting based on conversations i was having with senior people that part of the reason they felt the president was not coming to congress is because it wouldn't pass. that was before great britain. it really is still an open questio...
