that's our irs series. please let us know the feedback on that. tomorrow, we have a special report on manufacturers in the united states that goes through a loophole to sell explosives that detonate on impact and can threaten americans. threaten americans. "ac 360" starts now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com : abc news says president obama's national security team is preparing for an attack in syria bigger than expected. a strike could include an aerial bombardment fired from b 2 and b-52 bombers flying from the united states. chris lawrence joins me now. this reporting from abc that a u.s. strike could be much larger than anticipated. what do we know about it? >> i'm getting push back from sources here. they are saying long-range

bombers could be options considered or used in any air strike on syria. so it is part of the planning process. they say that does not fund mentally change the overall parameters of the mission. in other words, this official was telling me that yes, targets on the ground are continuously changing. they are adapting some of the options to fit those new targets but he predicted that a lot of these options would continue to change because they see continued movement on the ground, but he does not see this fund mentally changing what the parameters of this mission have sort of been established as. >> it's interesting, though, the secretary of defense yesterday said this could cost in the tens of millions of dollars, but the abc report is saying they are talking about using all the tomahawk missiles that they have, which is hundreds, which would obviously put the cost a lot higher, also the abc report saying b- 2 and b-5 2 planes

could be used. that would mean over air space. >> not necessarily. it's a long-range bomber and can fly 6,000 miles without refueling. that's with a joint air to surface standoff missile. in other words, these aircraft wouldn't have to come into syrian air space. and the official i spoke with says you can get that stand off capability from a submarine, ship or aircraft. none of it would have to enter syrian air space. it could be out of the rage of the syrian air defenses and still allow you that capability to strike inside syria. >> all right. interesting. chris, appreciate the reporting from you. joining me now is fran townsend a member of the cia advisory committees and christopher dickie, cnn senior international

co correspondent nick paton walsh. >> last week the president talked about a limited strike, sounded like stand off missiles from a ship in the mediterranean and we heard when secretary kerry testified, that they were talking about degrading capability of the assad regime that could tip the balance of power. when you hear things like that sources of mine in the pentagon said if you saw the military plane, i think you would feel better. you have to wonder are they explaining it in such a limited way to gain political support including from those on the left and not really talking about that this may be a more involved military operation, though, short-term. >> you say feel better of it, if you support the idea of the strike for those who oppose it, it would be larger than being sold -- >> that's right, but the president's political allies in congress, those tend to be in the middle in the left might not want to hear that this may

involve air assets and crews and might want to hear it described in a more limited way. you have to wonder if it's being described to politically back the president. >> the abc news reporting, you look at the draft resolution in the senate and see language that kind of has mission creep or seems larger. >> yeah, look, you can conduct the entire kosovo war within the terms of that senate resolution. you know, first of all, look at the time that's a lotted. we're not talking two, three, days or a week, 60 days plus 30. 90 days. if you have a sustained bombing or stand off missile cruise cam that's a lot raining down day after day after day on assad forces to degrade the forces. degrading can mean destroy sgin >> general marks, whatever happens, the first step is the

u.s. strike assuming it happens, then we have no idea what the response by assad will be and whether that will be a counter strike or operation. so on one hand you could see it's understandable why pentagon planners would be planning for a larger operation. >> anderson, they would have to be planning for a larger operation. the key thing is the construct within which the planning is taking place is action, reaction and counter action. i mean, that's how you walk through every scenario that we've ever had to contend with and in the case of the pentagon planners, when you look at what assad has been doing with his capabilities, both his, what i would call conventional military capabilities and his chemical in what he has done with his chemical and delivery means, there really are a whole host of targets on a target set which are dual use. in other words, what we've seen before what we've heard from administration is the fact that there were two tracks, that

clearly assad needs to go and the international community agrees with that and now this very agreous violation. in addressing the latter, you go after the former, and that's clearly what we see now. the feloniplanning has to inclu enhanced capabilities and assad may i'm mode. you have to be careful what you ask for. there may be tremendous success and assad may disappear and we could have a real problem that could include grander planning than what we addressed now. >> fran? >> anderson, what i was going to say, having money in the white house and watch military planning, even if what you assume is a two or three-day operation, for the reasons general marks explains, when you go to congress and seek authorization you want the ab t

ability and react. you don't want to react for a week and then all of a sudden find yourself in an engagement to go back to congress. >> you think this sounds limited? >> to a degree but you have to ask why did he go to congress? once you see retaliation and maybe the reason why the longer term thinking was in that direction. you got to remember the timing of the leak and with the international community. you don't know what is being said behind closed doors. this is happening regardless rather than looking like he's waiting for congress. the broader issue is you have to understand what level of damage you'll inflict on assad. we don't know how quickly he'll collapse. we don't know how long for the entire structure to collapse around him. it's a key point which says until potentially they can force a negotiated settlement.

the opposition won't indulling. >> any force is ennoun. there is so many unknowns. the war in afghanistan was supposed to be limited action against the taliban to get rid of al qaeda and the taliban. the war in iraq, everybody was supposed to be home by christmas. you never know how long these things -- >> you don't know but something predictable in the arab world. when the americans go into war they talk about victory. it about winning. we want to do it quickly. we want to win. we hope to get out quickly. in the arab world, war is about the victims. they are always showing you the dead babies and people killed by american bombs, even if they weren't killed by american bombs and you'll have a war that will be based on what will be called american atrocities. that's one of the things predictable in this conflict and it will be ugly, indeed. the other thing is you'll have a

much increased refugee flow. you have 2 million refugees, one million of them children and that will get worse. all of this we saw, by the way, during the kosovo war. >> general marks, you've been to battle and i mean, going into battle, do you ever -- do you always believe it could be much worse than anticipated, that it could end up being much bigger than the planners think it will be off the beginning? >> anderson, that's the only contemplation you make if you're a military planner there is never a guarantee the outcome will look anything like the way you draw it up on a white board. the anticipation is everything will go sideways and have to start to handicap against the different scenarios and legitimately address them and in this particular case, you can choose to start an engagement, you don't choose to end it and the way this thing can unravel

very quickly, we have seen many, many times -- >> yeah. >> -- the problem is you start to put your head down and start to address the problem precisely and then reality creeps in and it becomes much broader -- >> it's not something you can do in 48 hours. it redefining a region. things are happening in egypt and iraq which feed into this and inform it and affect the outcome. you can't do a couple strikes back off. we'll get drawn into this -- >> who knows what that is. we have to leave it there. fran townsend. thank you-all. this comes with the bombing administrations in the thick of a full-court press in public behind closed doors for military action in syria. they have days left to make their case before the votes in the house and senate and the g 20 the issue loomed large even though the meeting, the focus of that meeting is economic. president obama and the russian president vladimir putin smiled

for cameras. back home, the latest poll shows that most americans are opposed to a military strike in syria. this week an authorization bil e was close and representative elijah cummings are expressing opposition and here is what he faced at a town hall today. >> why are you not listening to the people and staying out of syria? it's not our fight. >> i'm very heart felt by the syrians. that's a whole other part of the world with a whole lot of other countries that can do something about it besides us we really don't want a war on syria. we have $17 trillion in debt. let's concentrate on this country and our economy and children. >> president obama cleared his

calendar to focus on the votes. a reminder why he has his work cut out for him. video shows rebels executing seven soldiers loyal to the assad regime. the images are disturbing. you won't see the men being killed. you'll hear the sound. the man talking is the commander of the rebels. [ gunshots ]. >> their bodies were dumped in a well. it took place in the spring of 2012 after the prisoners were shot, their bodies were dumped into that unmarked grave and it appears to be a well. the syrian opposition coalition today condemned the execution saying they contravene international law and in a statement say they said killing or mistreating captured soldiers

is afront to the hopes and principles that the fulfilled the initial popular uprising. >> what kind of calls are you getting from constituents on this? we're hearing from members of the senate and house overwhe overwhelmingly they are getting calls against a military strike. >> i'm getting the same calls, and that's why i'm doing town hall meetings all over high state so i can give people my point of view, but also listen to them. it's beginning turn around some. i'm surprised. at first it was -- it was very heavily against and now some of it is beginning turn around. i think it certainly indicates a couple of things, one is that iraq, americans are skeptical

and i understand that and i'm skeptical, too, because of iraq. i think there is a mistrust of the president. i think it's been mishandled. the president saying he's going to strike and then saying -- going to congress. so look, that's why i think a lot of us who are very concerned about this issue have to speak to our constituents and i think the president of the united states has to go on national television and speak to the american people. >> if the vote was today, do you think it would pass? >> i'm not a vote counter, but i do know that there are many of my colleagues understandably that have to be convinced. this is a very, very tough call. there is no more important vote than a member of congress will cast than this, and so we have our work out cut. >> administration saying the goal is to detour assad's

capability. yesterday you inserted language that says any military operation should quote, change momentum on the battle field in syria. it sounds like you and administration are still on different pages. >> look, that's not true, anderson. i talked to the president in the white house, and he said he had three objectives, one was to detour the capabilities of bashar assad to deliver the chemical weapons, second was to provide support for the free syrian army, and third, was to change the momentum on the battle field. that was the president's stated goals, so i'm not in disagreement at all with the president of the united states. >> so when you get those calls from constituents and people say to you this is not -- how is this possibly in the national security interest of the united states to strike syria, what do you say? how is this in the national security interest in. >> this conflict is not confined to syria. it's a regional conflict now. you know, anderson, the refugee camps, the destabilization of

lebanon, jordan, iraq has turned into killing fields that we haven't seen since 2008 and our total resurgents of al qaeda. this is not a conflict within syria. and if we send a message to the world, especially the iranians and north koreaens that we're allowing bashar al-assad to use chemical weapons and slaughter the women and children, we're making a terrible mistake. in the 1930s the world sat by while gas was used, where all kinds of atrocities took place in the 1930s and a whole lot of places and dictators had their will, and we sat by and watched these things happen and we paid a very, very heavy price for it. >> when you saw the front page of" the new york times today," what appears to be execution of

syrian troops by rebel forces, it adds to a list of horror stories we've heard committed by rebels. we've heard about the rashad regime, as well. secretary kerry said 15 to 20% of the extremist and mccall said he had been told half of the opposition is extremist, who is right? >> secretary kerry is all right in all due respect. civil wars are horrible things. we found out that in our own civil war, look at andersonville and the frustration that these fighters feel as they watch women gang raped and children slaughtered and the frustration is vented. it's inexcusable. it's absolutely inexcusable but these things unfortunately and tragically happen in war, and i notice the syrian national counsel and the free syrian army condemned that kind of behavior, and they ought to punish the people who perpetrated it.

the united states of america is -- if we are more involved than i think that we can have a greater phone line wednesday on their behavior and again, i do not -- all things are horrible, but if you visit these refugee camps and you hear the stories of the calculate dogma and doctrine of rape, murder and torture that is employed by bashar assad, it is -- it is horrendous. >> senator john mccain i appreciate you being on. thank you. >> thank you, anderson. >> let us know what you think. follow me on twitter @andersoncoop @andersoncooper. next, seeking justice for chap sharee sharee shareecherice morzlez. the second autopsy, that told a different story of this

hey, welcome back. in crime and punishment tonight, the 30-day rape sentence caused outrage. the judge admitted he was wrong to sentence stacey rambold to a

month in jail after he admitted to rape his 14-year-old student. he was wrong to make frankly horrible claims that the victim seemed older than her chronological age and was somehow in much control of the situation as her rapist. she killed herself before it could go to trial. the judge apologized and admitted the sentence could be illegal but correcting the mistake may be easier said than done. when asked about it, look what happened. >> reporter: hello, i'm kim law, do you have a minute to chat with me, sir? >> no, thanks. >> well, kim law joins me from billings montana. so there is movement inspect case for the past hour. what is the latest? >> reporter: well, we know the state attorney general filed, trying to cancel what is being viewed as tomorrow anderson, a do overhearing. the judge calling everyone back saying he wants to rule again saying maybe it was illegal to

just do a month. now let's try to change it to two years. here is where it gets interesting. not only the state attorney general but the prosecution and defense say they are done with this judge, no one wants this hearing tomorrow. they want it now with the state supreme court where there is an appeal sitting and waiting. >> and why does the judge not want the montana supreme court to take oemp the case at this point? is he afraid of not getting reelected? >> reporter: well the judge's reelection is next year and he's saying he wants to get on the record. i sat outside his office all morning to get a response. he never came out. i spoke to people connected to the case. they feel he is determined to somehow get on the court record he made an error and wants the two-year now sentence for this man. >> thanks very much. joining me now is the mother of the young victim in this case shareece morales. i'm so sorry for your lose.

what do you want people to know about your daughter? >> she was wonderful. she was wonderful and she deserves justice. >> i can't even imagine what it would have been like to have heard this judge's sentence, i mean to be sentenced to only 30 days in jail. were you in the courtroom at that moment? >> yeah. >> what went -- >> i freaked out. >> you freaked out. >> despair, unbelief, horror. it was inappropriate and sometimes you just got to tell a judge he sucks. >> and you told him that. you yelled that? >> yeah. >> the judge, i mean -- >> they have a problem with my temper. >> the judge made some -- i mean, as you know, truly appalling statements about your daughter. it -- when you heard those, i mean, did he ever apologize to

you directly? >> no, no and i'm listed in the books so. >> so he could have just called you up? >> yeah. everybody else has. >> he made a public apology saying he didn't know what he was talking about. he didn't know where that came from. do you accept that? >> no. he didn't apologize until after the storm of media hit. >> and you think that's really what is behind his apology, he wants to get re-elected? you don't think he really regrets what he said or feels what he said was wrong? >> i'm not sure. i don't know him. you know, i've never met him on a personal basis. i don't know if he's a nice guy. i'm not sure. i'm glad that the other courts are stepping in to review the

sentence. we got this thing tomorrow. >> you talked about -- >> anything more than 31 days. >> you talked about wanting justice for chereese. the judge acknowledged the sentence he imposed may have been against the law. your daughter's rapist could serve, you know, a minimum of two years after his 15-year sentence. would that be justice? >> i don't know. in my mind there is no -- you know, i'm -- i agree with county attorneys. they are asking for 20 years with ten years suspended. that would help, a lot. ten years. >> that would make a difference? >> it doesn't bring her back. it doesn't really change anything, but at least he gets to pay for what he's done. >> if you could talk -- >> and i think he should. >> if you could talk to this judge, what would you say to

him? >> i probably couldn't say that on tv, but i bet he was having a bad day after that. he was wrong. he made the wrong decision. >> for your daughter, i mean, you know, often times in something like this, people don't really learn much about who the victim is and who the person was and so i just want to give you an opportunity to just talk about your daughter a little bit and let us know what she was like. >> she was fantastic. she was funny. she was smart. she was gorgeous, and it doesn't matter how old she looks. she was still 14. she lit up a room. she was artistic, but i'm bias. >> as you should be. is there something that she hoped to be one day or that you wanted her to be? >> i wanted her to be happy.

>> well, eliah, i'm sorry for your loss and we'll continue to follow this and i hope it makes a difference and i hope justice is served for chereese and for you. >> thank you. for more on the story go to cnn.com. we'll update you. up next, the parents of a georgia teenager insist their son was murdered despite what investigators concluded. tonight, we have an exclusive interview with the parents and the pathologist that conducted an independent autopsy. also, brave soldiers that served in afghanistan waited months for a special moment back on american soil reunited with the stray puppies they adopted in afghanistan. woman: everyone in the nicu -- all the nurses wanted to watch him when he was there 118 days.

well, tonight the circumstances involving the death of a georgia teenager have grown murkier. what happened to 17-year-old kendrick johnson? it an accident or murder? the answer to those questions demands on who you ask. he was a star athlete at his high school in georgia. in january his body was found inside a rolled up gym mat. an autopsy said the death was an accident but his parents didn't buy it and ordered their own independent examination. that autopsy concluded johnson died of blunt force trama. victor blackwell speaks exclusively with his parents and the pathologist who considers his death a homicide. >> reporter: kenneth and jackelyn johnson says science supports what they thought all along, that their 17-year-old son kendrick was murdered at his high school in georgia.

>> an accident we just didn't believe. >> reporter: soon after kendrick's body was discovered upside down in the center of this gym mat, investigators determined there was no foul play and kendrick accidently got stuck while reaching for this shoe. the official finding of the state's autopsy, positional asphyxia, that kendrick was suffocated by his body weight. >> when i viewed his body sunday, you can see something happened. >> reporter: so could the first responders. in a report paramedics considered the gym a crime scene and after a closer look at kendrick, there was bruising noted to right side jaw. at the johnson's expense, kendrick's body was exhumed. dr. bill anderson performed a second autopsy and checked the right side jaw. he found something surprising. >> that area where the trama occurred had not been defected. it was still in tact. so it had never been opened at

the time of the first autopsy. >> reporter: and there is no mention of those bruces in the state's official autopsy or the local crime lab's report. >> there was hem ridge indicating trama to the area and causes blood to come out into the soft tissues. by looking at that we can say there was blunt force trama to that area. >> he took blows to the neck? >> he took at least one blow to the neck. >> so to be clear, you're call thing a homicide? >> yes. >> reporter: a spokeswoman for the georgia burro of investigation tells cnn we have complete confidence in the medical examiners and stand by our autopsy report. >> i've never had a case that i can recall where the prosecution actually was told that this may well be a homicide, and the prosecution, the state, police and so forth and then didn't bother prosecuting. it's just -- it's mist flying.

>> this is the first time you've call add case a homicide and everybody backed away? >> pretty much so. there were a couple cases where there was a deliberate coverup. >> reporter: they are considering whether to get involved. >> if they don't get involved, they are sending a message to the world, you can kill as long as you can get away with it. >> reporter: do you still talk to kendrick? >> yeah. >> reporter: what do you say? >> sometimes i ask him what happened. i want -- sometimes i blame myself for not beiing there. >> reporter: how long are you willing to tice? adrian sutil i die. if it take me til i die, i'll fight until i die. >> so the family's autopsy says johnson's death was not an accident which totally contradicts the other autopsy and the family sent copies to the justice department for

review and they responded saying they don't see a civil rights violation, but is there a chance they could investigate further? >> reporter: there is and it would be through the criminal division of the department of justice. the u.s. attorney michael moore here in georgia has been reviewing this case for months. it's been on his desk he says every day and still looking at it to determine if an investigation is valid. he also said this, he said, i want to make sure that members of the community and the family and everyone involved has confidence in my work and in my decision, and also, anderson, he says that when the time is right, he will meet with the family's pathologist. anderson? >> victor, appreciate the update. susan hendrix has the 360 bulletin. >> anderson, a missouri man is charged with knowingly exposing a partner to hiv, a felony under state law. 36-year-old david said he had unprotected sex with more than 3

300 partners since being diagnosed. an accident in england this morning. at least 100 carps were involved. most likely caused by thick fog. eight people were seriously hurt, 200 others suffered minor injuries. in what may be a stunning turn of events, it turns iran's new president sent jews around the world a happy new year. in comparison his predecessor called for israel's destruction. the newest baby wanda is a girl. that word from zoo officials this morning. the cub was born last month but the name won't be announced for 100 days after the birth, a chinese tradition. >> very cute. thanks very much. up next, the best war story a love story. a loyal dog and her puppies reunited with the soldiers who promised they would not leave them behind and they didn't. a soldier and his dog will join us ahead. what caused the huge fire

welcome back. as the united states contemplates taking action against syria, tonight we're glad to bring you a good story from afghanistan. there was a lot of smiles around the office. brave american soldiers stationed at a remote base. a dog wonders around and the dog has puppies and i'll let randi kaye pick up the first. >> reporter: at terminal 4 at jfk they are orananxiously awai a special delivery prom afghanistan. >> i'm extremely excited. i don't put into words, antsy, excited, pumped up. >> reporter: to better understand why, let me take you back to afghanistan earlier this year where he and others were helping train afghan patrols on the boarder with iran. a stray dog took a liking to them and the men immediately bonded with her.

she went on patrols with them ask waited each night for their safe return. they named her sheeba. when she got pregnant, the soldiers knew her life and puppy's life were in danger. the puppies were hungry and she was thin. so the men started giving her and soon her seven pups their rations, mres, beef jerky, they bathed them, swad led them in blankets and loved them like their own. sergeant cabba realized he couldn't leave afghanistan without the dogs. >> i fell in love. you know what, from the second she was born we're like they are cute and started getting personalities and taking to us very well, and, you know, you can't leave something like that behind. >> reporter: a couple of phone calls and soon sergeant cabba was in touch with guardians of rescue, a new york group that rescues animals. they got word to this dog shelter in afghanistan and after

very generous donations, the dogs were brought there, quarantined for three months. next, they were shipped to dubai, then flown to the u.s., an 8,000-mile journey which brings us back to jfk's terminal four. late wednesday, the dogs arrived to cheers. >> got you here. we said we would. >> reporter: the puppies had grown a bit but they sure seemed to remember the guys. >> i feel fantastic. i haven't seen them in awhile, and she's gorgeous. i can't believe that they are here. >> reporter: they were checked out at a local shelter where they got strange stairs from others wondering where they came from. there was also a group photo. well, sort of. all the excitement was a bit too much for the mother but her babies 5.5 months were thrilled.

does she know any tricks yet? >> she doesn't know she's doing it but shakes hands. >> reporter: back home in long beach new york, his puppy seems at home after her first night. how did she do overnight? she did well. she's a howler, that was something we weren't expecting. >> reporter: during our interview she was distracted by the new sights and sounds. she thinks she's still in afghanistan. >> she does. >> reporter: for the sergeant and his unit, these dogs managed to give them normalcy far from home. >> to see someone excited to see me when we walk back in, her butt shake and tongue out is fantastic. it was. it means the world. she made things so much easier. >> come on, girl. >> reporter: randi kaye, cnn, new york. >> there is no doubt randi kaye had the best assignment.

but i got to meet him and his dog. so did you know right away this was the dog for you? >> i knew within about three days, yeah. >> what was it about her? >> the way she slept, definitely the way she slept. her mouth was wide open and laid on her back and just seemed independent yet, lazy. >> is that how you sleep? >> exactly how i sleep. but i snore. she doesn't snore. >> how hard was it -- a lot of people think about doing this serving overseas but to follow through in doing this was amazing. how ahard was it? >> it was e see. i decided i wanted to talk one dog home and for some reason i reached out to my old high schoolteacher who put me in contact with guardians of rescue who counter offered with bringing all eight dogs home. >> that's amazing. why your high schoolteacher? >> no idea. she was well-known and a huge influence on me growing up, and i figured maybe she can help fund raise a couple hundred dollars. it was a good guess.
