7:00 pm
with the families that lost loved ones 12 years ago this very day. and one year ago in benghazi. never forget. thanks for joining us. this is a fox news alert. vladimir putin directly addressing the american people on syria. just moments ago the new york times posted an op-ed by putin. he warns against u.s. military intervention saying, quote, the potential strike by the united states against syria, despite strong opposition from many countries and major political and religious leaders, including the pope, will result in more innocent victims and escalation, potentially spreading the conflict far beyond syria's borders. a strike would increase violence and unleash a new wave of terrorism. president putin says it could throw the entire system of international law and order out of balance. putin also slapping obama for
7:01 pm
saying the united states is exceptional, calling that remark, quote, dangerous. so is russia just playing us? and is that dangerous? >> putin is the player. we are being played. >> that's exactly right. that's exactly what is happening here. >> we have had to rely on the russians to rescue this and they don't have american interests at heart. >> do you realize what a laughingstock we are? >> we have seen one of the most stunning collapses and re server sales of super power status in the history of the world. >> we are relying on the russians who ve toed every action against assad in the united nations. >> leading from behind has consequences. it created a power vacuum up front. the russians filled it. >> the russian government indicated a willingness to join with the international community in pushing assad to give up his chemical weapons. >> what an historic speech last night. probably the first time in history that a u.s. president gave a speech about not doing
7:02 pm
something. >> this initiative has the potential to remove the threat of chemical weapons without the use of force. >> give us a chance and we'll see how serious the russians are. >> moscow has been arming syria for 50 years. the idea that they are going to lead the way on disarmament is a joke. >> until two days ago, syria didn't acknowledge that it possessed chemical weapons. >> where do you think the weapons are going? i hate to be a cynic. with these people it's impossible. i would wager that whatever chemical weapons that bashar assad might have are now on their way to hezbollah. >> right now secretary of state john kerry headed to geneva for a meeting with russian's foreign minister is set for tomorrow. president re gan's aide joins us
7:03 pm
now. >> how are you? >> former head of the kgb lecturing our president who ran on an anti-war platform on peace. >> i read it twice. it was an outstanding piece and vladimir putin made a better case against u.s. strikes in syria than the president of the united states did last night. he laid out one of the real dangers here which is that jihadists and terrorists and the al qaeda folks inside syria and others, they are pouring in from the west and russia. if the assad regime falls, in whose hands do the chemical weapons go? i don't think assad is a threat to use chemical weapons against the united states or israel. as for some of the people in the rebel community, i think they are a real threat to use them. >> you know, pat, when you talk about the chemical weapons and
7:04 pm
the whole idea that president putin proposed is that syria secured -- hand over the chemical weapons to the international community and they would be dismantled. that of course -- how in the world will we be certain syria is identifying all its stock piles? >> we are not going to be. i will tell you this. russia is the player here. it is the big player, not the united states. russia alone has the lines to assad. russia can get assad to identify where the weapons are. he alone can get assad to tell him where to go to pick up the weapons. we don't have contact there at all. for the short term we have to rely upon russia. ms. albright said this is the indispensable nation. for the next few weeks, russia is the indispensable nation. >> what do you make of the fact that in part of the op-ed ed by
7:05 pm
president putin he talks about the president's address to the nation tuesday night. he also goes into the president's remark about american exceptionalism saying the united states policy makes america different. it makes us exceptional. that's what president obama said. then president putin said that remark by our president is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation. >> i disagree with president putin here. i don't think president obama said we are exceptional because of our policies. i think he said he feels our beliefs, our concern about international norms about human rights, the record we have makes us exceptional. i do agree the united states is an exceptional nation. president putin asks this exceptional nation idea has taken us into war against iraq, war in afghanistan ten years, war in libya.
7:06 pm
now we are moving toward war in syria. what good has it done for human rights and for the united states of america. putin is making a case here that a lot of american critics of the administration -- conservative and liberal -- have been making. >> it rubs the u.s.'s nose in iraq and afghanistan. it says something to the fkt of why does the government want to repeat recent mistakes referring to iraq and afghanistan. what do you make of the idea that president putin is trying to run the united states and private diplomacy. trying to speak with our secretary of state and at the same time he goes out to speak to the american people by this op-ed . >> well, the russians have their own oh interests. what putin is doing is reaching out to the anti-war community and the united states. the anti-interventionist
7:07 pm
community on syria which as we know recently is probably around 60 to 80% of the american people. he's doing it in an op-ed. it's effective. as for the russians do they have national interests in there? yes, they do. some coincide with us which is that al qaeda not get chemical weapons. others don't. he wants assad to survive. he doesn't want a war on iran. he doesn't want terrorists coming to chechnya any more than we hadn'ts them in new york. we have interests in common with this man. let me say this. i worked with richard nixon and reagan. when i was with ro nald reagan he was desperate to talk to the russians. he would say i try to talk to them and they keep dying on me. three or four died. then gorbachev. he went right to him to negotiate. what is the united states doing stiffing the president of russia, not having meetings with
7:08 pm
him? it makes us look petty. in the last week, vladimir putin looked like a statesman. >> back to my question that the former head of the kgb and what they did for decades is now lecturing our president via the new york times to the american people on issues of peace and diplomacy. and to a president who ran on an anti-war platform is extraordinary. >> which of the two is threatening a war that the american people don't want. that the american military doesn't want. that the congress of the united states doesn't want. that the world community doesn't want. threatening the world now are john kerry and barack obama who says we'll have a big strike where kerry says it will be unbelievably small. they are the ones to whom putin is addressing this.
7:09 pm
it is better in our relationship with russia that we have the russians writing op-ed s for the new york times rather than putting missiles in cuba as they were doing before. >> pat, good to have you. kelly ayotte is on the homeland security committee. your thoughts on the op-ed by putin speaking to the american people on the president of the united states? >> it's the height of oh hypocrisy to lecture the united states of america. what he says is that we have the to go to the united nations to seek a resolution to do anything in syria. let's keep in mind who blocked us every time we have sought a resolution in the united nations? the russians and chinese. it's hypocritical of him to say it. he says in the op-ed it's not the syrian government who has used chemical weapons, but again he makes the claim that the
7:10 pm
opposition forces used the chemical weapons. that just doesn't stand up to the evidence here. i think, again, this really makes -- for him to speak to the american people in a hypocritical way, bear in mind today the frempbnch, uk and our country went to the u.n. with a resolution. putin said i don't want to go to the united nations security council with regard to securing chemical weapons in syria. at this point i'm skeptical with regard to putin as well as assad. i hope for the administration's sake they are able to get the assad regime to give up chemical weapons in some verifiable way. as you identified i don't know how we verify that they have done so. >> what you are referring to in the oped is the president says no one doubts poison gas was used in syria. but not by the army but by
7:11 pm
opposition forces to provoke intervention siding with fundamentalists. another attack against israel cannot be ignored. he's stated his position. rather than trying to put a lid on this. >> that's right. obviously, i have been in briefings, seen the evidence . i'm convinced the assad regime used chemical weapons. i saw a report coming over here that the united nations report that's going to be coming forward will confirm that. for the russians to say somehow the assad regime didn't use chemical weapons doesn't fly in the face of the evidence. that really troubles me in terms of our ability to broker an agreement with them. i hope the administration is successful. >> assuming the fact that we are not satisfied that they are going to surrender chemical
7:12 pm
stock piles and they will destroy them. we are back to where we werement what is going to be your vote, what is your recommendation to the president? >> i came out today after hearing the president's speech last night. here is my problem from the beginning. i believe we have interests obviously in syria with regard to the involvement of iran. that's why i find it hypocri hypocritical when russians talk about foreign patrons. they have been giving arms to the assad regime as have the iranians. i have been concerned about the fact that it's an inconsistent and incoherent strategy by the administration and for us to authorize military force at this time when we have seen so many inconsistencies including the one pat buchanan mentioned. it would be unbelievably small at one point. not as the president said last night that we don't do pinpricks. i need a strong plan to be part of a co he sieve strategy before we use military force in syria. >> today is september 11th.
7:13 pm
a dark day in our history, 12 years ago and a year ago. you have written two letters -- one to the fbi director and one to the president of the national congress of libya about benghazi. what did you write, and why? >> obviously this is the one-year anniversary of september 11th last year, benghazi, the attack on the consulate when we lost four brave american s. at this point, i'm troubled that we have not brought anyone to justice. a new york times report said those that have been indicted for the crimes including ahmad katala, that our oh government snot pushing the libyan authorities in twa we could to bring them to justice and the libyan authorities haven't been cooperating the way they should. particularly what we did for that country. the today i wrote a letter with senator graham to the libyan president saying, cooperate. we demand for the relationship between our countries for you to
7:14 pm
cooperate with the american authorities. we also wrote the director of the fbi to say, how come you are not pushing the libyan authorities to bring those terrorists to justice? the victims deserve it. >> if they don't cooperate, having written this letter and they ignore it, what are you going to do then? >> i can tell you we are going to continue absolutely pushing this. this is a matter of bringing really the president following through on what he said bringing terrorists to justice. we have an ability, think, to put pressure on the libyan government. we have been assisting them. obviously throughout this with aid. we can hold up their aid if they are not going to cooperate with us. that's important. we should bring them to justice. >> senator, thank you very much. >> thanks. >> now to democratic senator bob casey, part of a bipartisan group of u.s. senators working on a new deal with syria. good evening, sir. senator, can you hear me?
7:15 pm
i guess the senator can't hear when he me. i will re pete the breaking news. the new york times has a copy of an op-ed from vladimir putin lecturing president obama. language tough from president putin. the irony not missed that he's going around the president to the american people by publishing this op-eop-ed. we are having private negotiations tomorrow. secretary kerry will feet with foreign minister lavrov to talk about alternatives ingeneva. senator casey, can you hear me ? he can't. senator ayotte, many of your colleagues indicated they do not want military force. if this were to be pushed to a vote it looks like the house would say no to use of oh
7:16 pm
military force and it looks more like the senate would vote no. where does that leave the united states? we just sort of sit and take a public relations beating from the world. we worry about our oh credibility and worry that more weapons -- chemical weapons would be used against civilians. >> i think at this point it's because the administration has not put forth a strategy that's understandable. i mean, i have been troubled by the inconsistencies here. many of oh my colleagues have been as well. so they have to be clear on what their strategy is. you know, they said after the use of chemical weapons in june that they were going to support the moderate forces in the free syrian army. to my knowledge they haven't followed through on that. that's the way they could support the moderate forces there to make an impact on the assad regime that could make a difference. >> how do we know the free syrian military, that they truly are moderate. when you look at the map of
7:17 pm
syria, of the people there, i counted 26 different opposition groups with different backgrounds, some moderate. some more extreme than others. it's not easy that we pick one. that group we know will be moderate and will emerge to promote democracy in the region. it's difficult. >> i will tell you this. i know the intelligence community spent a substantial amount of time on this -- prior to the august 21 attack. and that the administration had already supported this and followed through on it. yes, we have to be very careful. let's not forget how it be gan. this began not from foreign fighters coming to syria. the reason the foreign fighters came is we didn't have a strategy with regard to syria. there is a core group within syria that were rising up against the government as part of the arab spring that are syrians and not other countries.
7:18 pm
>> thank you very much. >> thanks. >> we'll get to senator casey. now to tonight's hot button issue. is the united states being played by russia or is russia's proposal in syria legitimate? go to gre etawire.com. straight ahead, are we kidding ourselves? is it possible to secure and destroy syria's chemical weapons? do you have any idea how vast their stock pile is? and what a daunting task it is? are we kidding ourselves that it can be done? you will hear from a former u.n. weapons inspector next. and congressman greg doubty is here. he says a year after benghazi there is only one way to know what happens. he's on the record coming up. plus donald trump can buy anything he wants, but guedoes want to buy the fbi? that's coming up. bold has a huge imagination.

7:21 pm
7:22 pm
democratic senator bob casey is here. he's part of a group working to deal with syria. good evening. >> thank you very much. >> want to point out august 5, 2011 you wrote an op-ed in the post saying president assad should step down. i will ask you about it. first i want to ask you have you read the new york times op-ed by president putin? your thoughts, sir. >> i just read it before we came on oh set here. it's unfortunate that president putin use it is language he's using in that op-ed. he's trying to be clever. but to assert the rebels are to blame for the indiscriminate use of chemical weapons that killed over 400 children. to assert that any regime other
7:23 pm
than the syrian re jet stream is responsible is rid i clubhouse. his whole op-ed craters because of the very. if russia is serious about removing the threat of chemical weapons from syria, they should work with us. if they don't, this proposal will fall through and we should maintain the authorization for the use of force and allow that to go forward. so the russian federation has to make a decision. >> in terms of force, the president talked about a limited strike. you more than two years ago said assad should go away, step down. so we are not seeking at this point for regime change. where do you stand on that now? >> there is no question that i believe the best result for us in terms of the result that would flow from removing assad
7:24 pm
from power would be a much better result for our national security because the maintenance that russia and others provided to the keep assad in place means the iranian regime strengthened. that's not good for our interest. hezbollah is greatly emboldened and strengthened. we should continue with the u.s. policy that assad should go. uh how we get get there is another question. this particular operation would be to focus solely on the use of chemical weapons. it's possible that if airfields and aircraft are degraded and taken out that it could have an effect on the battle. i don't think there is any question that a very focused, limbed, proportional strike is in the best interest of national security. then we'll see what the policy should be. i would favor robust support for the opposition to the well vetted members of the
7:25 pm
opposition. i think we can do it. ultimately affect the outcome without the use of a larger operation. >> the problem with opposition is they have so many particles. there are 25, 26 groups. can we identify an opposition? can we arm the opposition and can they succeed? >> absolutely. that doesn't mean there aren't extreme elements. 50,000 fighters in the free syrian army. 37 to 40,000 in the liberation front. you have at least 80 to 100,000 potentially moderates. say it's off by 10,000 here or oh there. there is no question the overwhelming numbers in the opposition are moderate and nationalist. does that mean al qaeda and the front and other extremists will try to take over? absolutely. for anyone tie cert it is better for assad, the iranian regime
7:26 pm
and hezbollah i don't think they know what they are talking about about what's best for our national security interest. >> senator, thank you. >> thanks, b greta. >> here is what putin wants. under a russian proposal the united states and its allies reeject the use of oh force against syria and syria turns over weps to the international community. the weapons must be secured and destairwayed. how easy is it to secure and destroy the vast stock pile of oh chemical weapons? former u.n. inspector tim trayvan joins us. good evening. >> good evening. >> how daunting a task is it to find these chemical weapons and once we do find thm to get rid of them? >> it is a daunting task, particularly in the situation of trying to do that in the middle of a civil war. this will be the first time any country has tried to do that.
7:27 pm
how it would happen is they would say what weapons, what types, where they are and the inspectors would verify where they are. basis, they would tag all the weapons, all the agent and put seals on doors and gates to ensure nothing is tampered with. to say this is different because you have to take physical possession of the chemical weapons away from the syrian authorities then you've got to start thinking about how you prevent the syrians from changing their minds and repossessing the weapons. do you have to re move the weapons from syria, consolidate them in one place? destruction will take a long time. certainly over a year. maybe many years. if we leave them where they are
7:28 pm
scattered in 5, 20, 30 locations, maintaining physical possession of those weapons will take a huge effort. >> 5, 20, 30 locations. there could be more, i a sense of humor -- i assume. how easy is it to hide chemical weapons? >> if you have agent in bulk which is contained in large tanks or in vehicles it can be moved around quickly if dangerously. we can't assume every country in the world has the same rules about safety at work and health concerns, but we do. we noticed in iraq when we sought to destroy their chemical weapons. they had a cavalier approach to safety. they were prepared to produce chemical weapons in conditions we would never consider. >> are we the only country with the know-how to do this? so it would be americans doing it or is this something many
7:29 pm
countries have skilled people doing? >> there are several countries with skill in doing it. the russians had a large stock pile they destroyed. the chemistry isn't that difficult in destroying chemical weapons. issues in dealing with them safely is something many countries with chemical industries know about. there is expertise around the world. >> thank you, sir. >> my pleasure. >> coming up, what do u.s. troops think about military strikes on syria? major general bob scales is here. and a little bit -- not angry. you'll find out. run, go, go! did he just fumble? "i" formation! "i" formation! we have got to get the three-technique block! i'm not angry. i'm not yellin'. nobody's tackling anybody! we got absolutely... i don't think this was such a good idea. i'm on it. if we can't secure the quarterback center exchange... you're doing a great job, coach. well they're coming along better than i anticipated.

7:34 pm
members oppose strikes on syria by a three to one margin. major general bob skals joins us. good evening. >> hi. >> i'm curious for your thoughts on president putin. the op-ed in the new york times for the american people to read. >> this is amazing. he's assaying the resistance gassed? where did the syrians get a thousand tons of chemicals? i think they got them from russia, if i'm not mistaken. his point about foreigners delivering weapons to syria, they are. they are delivering truckloads of rifles to the resistance and the russians are delivering ship loads of tanks, aircraft, fighter jets and he talks about the u.s. failure in afghanistan. excuse me? does anybody remember the russians spent ten years in afghanistan? you and i have both been there. you see the country side littered with russian tanks.
7:35 pm
the last point that sort of torqued me off was this idea of criticizing american exception allism. the russians have their own form of exceptionalism. to get it by crushing dissent and invading georgia. i have seen chutzpah but not like this. >> the one single naval base that russia has outside russia just happens to be tartis in syria. their own footprint in terps of a base. 3-1 the military times poll, military personnel opposed to a strike. >> yeah. i mentioned it last night on fox. it's roughly in proportion to the opposition of the american people. it's about 80 against and 20 more. that generally rereflects the population. of course the military understand operations. they have been to iraq and afghanistan. many of them 12 or 13 times.
7:36 pm
they realize wars are fought for strategic ends. i think that's accurate. >> do you consider boots on the ground if we send military to georgia to help and train rebels, is that boots on the ground or not? >> it's not. look, we send 40 trained cia rebels from jordan to syria every week. we should send a thousand a week. we should have a supply line in jordan going to syria. >> is that boots on the ground? >> no. you're in sovereign territory. jordanian territory, not in syria. from an international law perspective it is not boots on the ground. >> is that us getting deep into civil war that somebody oh posed it if we are on the border handing out supplies? >> you know, at this stage it's the best we can do.
7:37 pm
the only alternative is to send a hundred cruise missiles against syria. that's not going to work. assad has the vanl frankly he can use without chemical weapons at the this stage. the best we can do is turn this rag the tag rabble of the free syrian army into real soldiers. we did it in dose voement why not georgia? >> we'll see. of course senator kerry will be meeting with foreign minister lavrov soon. there is a lot developing through the night. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> one year ago tonight four americans murdered at our consulate in benghazi. why no arrests? you will hear from the mother of one of the slain americans and congressman trey goudy next.

7:43 pm
four americans murdered. the mother of slain state department worker sean smith says she has no answers. pat smith joins us. good evening. >> hi there. >> i'm fine tonight, pat, but always mindful of the fact that the parents on these horrible anniversaries how difficult it is for you. i guess the only thing we can do is try to push for answers. do you still have questions? >> of course. i have the same questions we have when we started out. they have told me nothing. all i found out is i looked out and found out for myself. >> is there a specific question you have i could run with next time i run into somebody on capitol hill like how about i ask this one. is there a specific question that's been burning in your soul? >> yes. i wanted whoever made the decision -- and i suspect i know
7:44 pm
who it is. but whoever made the decision to not give security to the guys and girls, if there are any, i want them to admit what they did. if they blew it, they blew it. i need an, pla nation. they won't give me that. >> i'm looking at your son with a nice smile. i didn't know your son. what was he like? >> he always wore that smile. it was something i uh loved about him. he always had the smile. i miss him a lot. >> we have been pushing to try to get answers. i have been very impatient. i know you're more impatient than i am, certainly. but i have been impatient as well. congressman trey goudy is up next. what do you want him to do? >> he's been wonderful, too. i was at the hearing when he was talking.
7:45 pm
i i liked the way he talks. he's trying to get answers. the same way. >> well, pat, i thank you for joining us tonight. i know this is the anniversary and they are always more difficult than every other day which is also difficult for you. thank you, pat. >> okay. >> of course one year after the deadly attack on our consulate the j has indicted suspects. congressman, good evening. >> good evening. how are you? >> i'm well. i know you are so frustrated at the pace of this. we have spoken many times. tell me when are we going to get some progress in this? when are we going to get arrests, the names of the survivors and when will they testify? >> well, we have two parallel tracks. one is the law enforcement track and when the bureau will bother to serve those indictments. no arrests, no convictions, no
7:46 pm
sentences meted out. that goes to the commander in chief. he's the boss of the a.g. and head of the fbi. from a law enforcement standpoint darryl issa and jason and myself can't prosecute or arrest. we have a role. i have been frustrated with the pace on our side. it's been a year. the same questions ms. smith had this time a year ago remain. who will approve the facility despite the lack of security specifications? the failure during the siege , talking points. we have another chance next week to jump start the investigation despite the fact it's been a year. if we miss that opportunity my fear is those responsible will be able to wait out the clock. the american people's attention will turn to something and we won't get the answers that ms. smith and others deserve. >> here is what i find perplexing. we have an indictment charging
7:47 pm
people. we know where they are in libya. we can't make the arrest. libya isn't cooperating. i would think that would be something the president of the united states and secretary of state and secretary of defense would be aggressively pursuing. yet today it is senator ayotte and senator lindsey graham writing the president of libya saying, help us. i don't know why it's their job to do this. >> lindsey graham has done more to bring the offenders in benghazi to justice than the commander in chief. remember the incident in tunisia. he wrote the government and said if you release this witness there is going to be heck to pay. i don't know why the president, despite the fact a year ago he said we'll move heaven and earth. i mean, there was our ambassador murdered. it's been 12 months. they claim to know some of the people who have done it or there wouldn't be indictments.
