as separating herself from obama foreign policy and setting herself up for 2016. once again i would rather have a president that thinks things through. because back in april they had said -- it had varying degrees of confidence that sarin had been used, but were not able to determine who is responsible. and again, i would rather get all of the evidence which the president has been doing. and he announced this before the bill clinton comments came out, so it's not like oh, bill clinton called me a wuse. anyway, the united states has conclusive evidence that the regime has used sarin against the opposition. again, what he had said then is if we determine this that will cross the red line. they have finally with their degree of certainty determined

this. obama plans to send weapons and ammunition to bolster rebel forces and provided rations and medical supply, and once again, it will never been enough for john mccain. obama still opposes putting troops own the ground. and we alluded to why this is messy when we opened the show. the proponents of more aggressive action appear to have won out of those wary of sending troops in. hezbollah are backing the assad forces, but al qaeda backs the opposition. that's a little messy. the now u.s. assessments show that assad has used chemical

weapons and up to 150 people have been killed in those attacks. mccain has been clamoring for more force. including going to syria before they finished the intelligence. other lawmakers expressed reservations about american involvement and fear that sending weapons could fall into the hands of al qaeda-linked groups. so jay carney yesterday. >> what does factor in is what is in the international security of the united states, and what has the best chance of working? >> so are we supposed to nuke them? >> stephanie: yeah, if you are john mccain, right. if you are president mccain, absolutely. so whatever everybody was talking about -- and i guess these comments leaked out. bill clinton was speaking with senator mccain at a closed press event. he contrasted obama's actions in

syria, to his own actions in kosovo, which included the bombing of the president. a president must look beyond reluctance for the sake of national security and to save lives. i'm not sure that's the best analogy, kosovo. but there were definitely a lot of conflicts in the primary and some things that i know irritated bill clinton. i think bill clinton has been an enormous vocal advocate -- >> all know [ inaudible ] shouldn't have called clinton a jive ass honky. >> stephanie: that was the red line. actually the white line. the honky line. jim kids.

clinton said you just think how lame you would be suppose i had let 2 million people be refugees and people say you should have stopped this by dropping a couple of bombs, and i said because the house voted against it. i know when obama said the thing about reagan being transformational in a way that clinton wasn't. >> pay back. >> stephanie: yes, it could be. and hillary clinton was one of the ones that supported military -- or actually arm embedded -- anyway a lot to unravel here. twenty-nine minutes after the hour. right back on the "stephanie miller show." ♪

>> stephanie: but it's interesting -- thomas friedman wrote a piece yesterday they was yoet quoting, and one of his fears is if there is another 9/11 the american people willingly surrender probably all of their civil liberties. >> i don't think we need to worry about that too much because i don't expect that george w. bush is going to go on vacation when he is president for the entire month of august when the attacks take place in september. that scenario is behind us. i don't think that george w. bush is going to get a memorandum that specific says that al qaeda is looking for targets and talking about hijacking airplanes and do nothing. maybe that's the sort of thing we should be concentrating on.

maybe the gentlemen that gave 30 warnings before it happened maybe that's the kind of thing we should be concentrating on. >> stephanie: i agree, but i think the reason we haven't had another attack is because we have more competence. your petition is short. you say i cherish my freedom and privacy. i'm not a terrorist, and won't let the government treat me like one, and therefore, i support the mind your own business petition. >> we're introducing a bill that i hope will get a lot of support from both sides of the aisle. there are some republicans that seem to care about civil liberties. are some people who have written to the president that are members of congress who have said they are not happy with this program.

said that somehow this document is fake. so now we know what is actually happening. we do know today that the government is for a fact admitted fact, and claiming it is legal getting information on every single phone call made in this country. so we move beyond the question of what would happen if we find out and the terrorists find out. we're beyond that now. we have moved beyond the other question, because snowden himself has invited us, we have moved beyond the other question of should we be thinking about him as a hero or villain. snowden said this is not about me. and now we as adults and citizens have to make a decision about the kind of environment we want for ourselves. do we want to live in the 1984 world, where the government literally is monitoring tracking every single phone call we make or not? and that's the decision before us right now.
