is here. president obama said he is still weighing options for an attack on syria. in an interview last night he detailed just what those choices are. briefing high-ranking members of congress today. >> russia announced this morning it plans to announce two warships to the mediterranean sea where four u.s. navy ships are standing by. a russian navy spokesman says the move is not related to syria. in a moment, holly williams on the syrian border will have new information on the u.n. weapons inspectors in syria. we begin our coverage with major garrett at the white house. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the obama administration is putting the finishing touches on two intelligence reports about the syrian chemical weapons attack. one is a detailed classified document that it will give to congress. the public report may not disclose much more than is already known. as one top official told us quote, the smoking gun is that this clearly happened.

after five days of public silence, president obama began to make the case for a small scale strike against syria. president obama told pbs why military force against the regime of al assad could be unavoidable. >> i think it's important that if in fact we make a choice to have repercussion, per the use of chemical weapons, then the assad regime will have received a pretty strong signal it better not do it again. >> reporter: the president confirmed he is considering a brief and so-called surgical set of cruise missiles strikes. >> if, in fact we can take limited tailored approaches not getting drawn into a long conflict, not a repetition of, you know, iraq, which i know a

lot of people are worried about. we send a shot across the bow saying stop doing this. >> reporter: obama said he wants no part of syria's civil war. >> i have no interest in any kind of open-ended conflict in syria, but we do have to make sure that when countries break international norms on weapons like chemical weapons that can threaten us, that they are held accountable. >> reporter: finalizing a report the administration conversationsays will bolster the report that assad used chemical weapons. urging him to explain, quote, how potential military action will secure american national security interests, preserve america's credibility, deter the future use of chemical weapons and, critically, be a part of our broader policy and strategy. in the senate republican john mccain said now is the time for more and better weapons to be sent to the rebels. the top republican on the arms

services committee said he cannot support a strike without more information about costs and purpose. more than 100 lawmakers in the house from both parties have told president obama he must come to them to seek congressional authorization before launching a strike. >> major garrett, thanks. this morning, the u.n. secretary-general asked the west to wait until his weapons inspectors have finished looking for proof of a chemical attack. holly williams is at the turkey/syria border. holly, good morning to you. >> good morning, anthony and gayle. here on the syrian border most of the syrian refugees we've spoken to would welcome u.s. strikes against the regime. many of them have been fighting against the government in the country's civil war. inside syria, there are many people who still support the regime and they would be angered by u.s. strikes. meanwhile, united nations weapons inspectors in syria are continuing with their investigation into alleged -- the alleged chemical attacks last week. they will leave on saturday and give their findings to the u.n. as soon as possible.

several countries, including britain, france and turkey have already joined the u.s. in blaming the syrian regime for carrying out chemical strikes. they will support a military action even if it's done without the approval of the u.n. security council. other countries including russia, china and iran are bitterly opposed to any kind of u.s. military intervention and iranian general has threatened retaliation against israel if the strikes go ahead. anthony, gayle. >> holly williams on the syrian border, thank you, holly. one possible model for an american attack on syria happened in 1998 when the u.s. launched cruise missiles at targets in afghanistan and sudan. that was in retaliation for the bombings of two american embassies in africa. retired general anthony zinni was central command at that time. good morning. >> good morning. >> you heard the general saying he didn't want to get drawn into a long conflict in syria. can we launch a surgical

military strike without getting caught in an open-ended war? >> well i think the problem is the red line. bashar assad, much like saddam hussein, will continue to violate any red lines or do unacceptable acts. we'll find ourselves doing much like we did in the '90s with iraq. we will repeatedly conduct these kinds of actions against these kinds of acts and find ourselves in sort of a slow rolling campaign and unsure where it might lead. unless we have a strategy in place to understand how this is going to play. it just can't be a one and done. you can't assume there isn't anything that's going to provoke another response. >> general do you think at this point we have to do something? what should the end game be? >> well we have to do something because the president laid a red line down. this is an unacceptable act. so i think we're committed or

we'll look weak and he'll continue to test us. i think we need to think in terms of a longer campaign. not just one act and then finished. in iraq, what we did, because we assumed we would be doing this repeatedly, we decided what kinds of targets we wanted to take down to make the regime more vulnerable. for example, we rolled back and basically removed his air defense systems. i think looking at command and control, air defense, not assuming this is just a one-act play, but look at the long-term as to how to deplete and draw down any kind of capabilities he may have. to make him more vulnerable in the future. now, the trick here is the same as we had with saddam. if the objective is not regime ra move removal, you don't know when you might hit that point when you make the regime so weak it might topple anyway and you have to be prepared. >> iran and syria have threaten threatened to retaliate. what happens if they try to

attack israel? >> this should be part of the planning. we should always assume any kind of capability they have sleeper cell, terrorist attacks, use of hezbollah to attack israel attacking our targets in the region, u.s. military we should have a plan in place to respond to each of those potential. we should not make any assumptions. a good military planner plans against capabilities not assumptions. we should have a plan of response assuming that all these could possibly happen. >> what do you make general, of the russians moving two ships into the mediterranean? is this them flexing their muscles? >> yeah, i think that's more just to send a signal or demonstrate their displeasure. it's not a threat in any way. we certainly have overwhelming force compared to them in the region. i don't think they're interested in any way interfering with us. i think it's their way of mess and sending. >> are you surprised at the leaks that we're hearing coming out about this situation?

>> yeah, you know, it's not surprising though because it's been that way. we went through the same things you know, with iraq and the attacks on the terrorist targets. it's the way washington is unfortunately. that those leaks come out. i guess it's part and parcel of the way our open government works and the nature of what happened in d.c. >> thank you, general, for joining us this morning. in our next hour we'll talk about the u.s. options in syria with the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. senator men nen doesendez will join us. a military jury needed just two hours yesterday to decide on a death sentence for major hasan, the ft. hood gunman. he admitted killing 13 people and did not defend himself at his trial. he said he acted to protect islamic fighters overseas. he will be the first american soldier to be executed in more

than 50 years. firefighters in california's syriaear sierra nevada are gaining ground this morning on the rim fire in yosemite national park. video shows just how big this fire is. yesterday, the flames forced park officials to close the main entrance on yosemite's east side. the fire is now 30% contained this morning. but officials predict it will not be fully contained until september 10th. and even though forecasters say it will keep burning for months until the rainy season begins. a lawsuit this morning accuses walgreens of stealing from customers. missouri's attorney general claims display tag, inside the drugstore chain don't match up with prices at the register. as terrell brown reports, it's not the first time this situation has come up. >> reporter: the lawsuit, filed by the missouri attorney general, alleges the nation's largest pharmacy change has been

regularly swindling shoppers. >> our findings were disturbing. investigators from the attorney general's office documented overcharges and deceptive prices at nearly every store we visited. >> reporter: undercover investigators sent to eight walgreen stores across missouri found that out of 205 purchases 43 of them had higher prices at checkout than the original prices listed on the shelves. with differences ranging from a few cents to $15. he provided examples of the deceptive practices at a press conference earlier this week. >> 6.99. with a walgreens reward card. we had a walgreens reward card. but we were charged $8.99. >> reporter: and this isn't the first time walgreens message has been checked out. they had to cough up $1.4 million in penalties after four counties in california sued over price discrepancies. the company paid nearly $30,000

to settle claims it failed to post refund notices after scanning inaccurate prices. >> this level of consumer deception is inexcusable from a corporation as sophisticated as walgreens. >> reporter: walgreens issued this statement to cbs this morning. we are disappointed by the attorney general's characterization of our business practices and we look forward to a constructive dialogue about the issues he raised. we have a 112-year history of acting in our customer's best interest. and that will continue to be our focus. the lawsuit against walgreens is seeking an injunction to stop the alleged practices as well as an undischoicelosed fine. for "cbs this morning," terrell brown, new york. as the nation marks ss the 50th anniversary of the march on washington. 73% say real progress has been made getting rid of racism. 52% say there's real hope discrimination can be ended.

the polls shows changing attitudes on international racial marriage. 82% now approve of it. back in 1994 that number was 48%. in 1958 only 4% approved. >> in washington tens of thousands of people crowded the national mall yesterday to remember the historic 1963 march. leading the commemoration, america's first black president. jeff pegues is at the memorial. >> reporter: yesterday, 50 years after the civil rights leaders famous speech. standing where dr. king delivered his famous i have a dream speech barack obama reminded the crowd of the sacrifices made. >> and because they kept marching, america changed. because they marched, the civil rights law was passed.

because they marched, a voting rights law was signed. >> reporter: mr. obama delivered a keynote of the commemoration. >> i have a dream. >> reporter: a celebration of king's iconic speech and march on washington. tens of thousands of people of all ages and from across the nation packed the national mall just as bill tate did in 1963. what do you think is the significance of a black president 50 years later? >> it shows that we have made some progress. >> reporter: the civil rights message of today has changed. speakers addressed gay rights and women's rights. while others used the opportunity to weigh in on some of the more controversial issues of the day. congressman john lewis, the only speaker on wednesday who shared the stage with dr. king 50 years ago, faulted laws that he believes unfairly target minorities. >> the scars and stains of racism still remains deeply embedded in american society. whether it is stop and frisk in new york. or injustice in trayvon martin's

case in florida. >> reporter: also addressing the crowd, former presidents jimmy carter and bill clinton who con depped the wave ed condemned the wave of new voter i.d. laws. >> a great democracy does not make it harder to vote than to buy an assault weapon. >> reporter: but this was a call to action by the president who pulled from the past to inspire the country into the future. >> america, i know the road will be long, but i know we can get there. yes, we will stumble, but i know we'll get back up. that's how a movement happens. that's how history bends. >> reporter: this is washington so everything is filtered through a political lens. noticeably absent from the event, a gop presence. a spokesperson for speaker john boehner's office says the speaker was sent an invitation late last month but it came to late and his schedule was already set. the spokesperson also says the speaker spoke at a conventional event instead.

>> time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe.

"the wall street journal" says am zan.com is taking its sales tax fight all the way to the supreme court. amazon argues that its new york customers should not have to pay

we spoke to her sister just hours after she heard the news. >> we worked so hard for justice. we've done everything we can. this means the world. >> reporter: for nearly two years the family of evonne baldelli has searched for answers. she vanished in 2011 just two months after starting a new life on a beautiful island in panama with boyfriend and former marine brian brem injer. >> she was so in love with this man and all she wanted to do was be happy. it sounds silly but it's all she wanted. >> reporter: the couple rented a small room here but it wasn't long before locals say they started noticing bruises on baldelli and heard intense shouting and fighting until she suddenly disappeared. when breminger returned to the

u.s. he told her family she ran off with another man and was livings in costa rica. the family did not buy it. >> this gives us some peace in this horror. >> reporter: the family travelled to panama, scoured the island and found nothing. months passed. then in june authorities linked bremin breminger to a coverup. in an attempt to trick her friends and family into believing she was still alive. >> i kind of felt like i was a bad sister because i never had enough hope that she without there but it never made sense to me that she would be. i knew from the beginning he did something to her. >> reporter: two months ago breminjer was arraigned on charges of disrupting gist it is

and making false statements. >> he stood in the courtroom and said forcefully not guilty to that courtroom. >> right, right. >> what do you say? >> he's a damn liar. you're a damn liar. so just fess up. what did you do and where did you put her. that's what i want to know. where is she and let's bring her home. >> reporter: nearly one week ago a worker in panama made a gruesome discovery. while clearing brush he found a military stile duffel bag and inside the remains of baldelli. >> just as we want her to be remembered we want everybody no know what kind of man she is and what he did to her. she should never be able to pick up with his life as if nothing happened. >> evonne's remands are still in panama, but it's expected her remains will be brought home soon.

pan man panamaen officials plan to charge him and extra dikt it. they did one of those locking arming walking through this mud a area y area. they just missed her. >> what can you tell us about brian. >> he was trying to eek out a living playing guitar on the local islands. he was reportedly terrible at that. he told a number of people when he drank a lot he was one of 5% on earth who would kill a human being without conscience. >> peter, thank you. we'll have a full report on this case later on 48 hours. teenagers all ore the country are going back to school this week. bad for them good for parents. chances are they're not studying, they're hanging out with their friends on social media and now as john black

stone reports a los angeles suburb is taking a controversial step. >> reporter: texting tweeting and posting are all part of being a teen today, but now the social media sites involve 13,000 students in glendale california's middle and high schools are being monitored. they hired a company called geo geo listening to track students to be able to intervene. >> it's to monitor key words when a student is considering harming themselves or someone else. >> reporter: geop gets statements. in a statement they told cbs news we don't monitor preevt e-mails, text messages phone calls or voice mails. spoke to one parent who said she

hopes it makes teens think twice about what they post. >> there's a lot of cyber bullying that i've seen. if the school gets involved it's wonderful. it's a win/win. >> reporter: they're more concerned about how it impacts privacy and civil rights issues. >> we're looking at how privacy is being put in place, how it's being utilized if it's shared with other entities. >> reporter: yet many teens being monitored say they don't want grown-ups listening in. >> we rebel. if your parents come in and say you can't cothis you're going to do it to show that you can so i don't think monitoring is going to do any good. >> reporter: geo listening claims it isn't prieg but giving the old high school notion of hall monitor a high-tech twist. cbs legal analyst jack ford is was. good morning. >> good morning, anthony.

>> as a parent i'm worried about bullying but there is a hint of big brother in this. is it actually legal? >> well, it is. you can understand why people might feel it's awkward or even invasive, but it is legal because as we heard in john's piece a full moments ago, it's not as if somebody's breaking into password protected accounts. they've said we're just going to monitor the things that are out there anyway. so you can understand why some people might not be happy with it. others might be delighted with it but not illegal. >> i confess i was one of those snooper parents but how much privacy are teenaged students entitled to? >> that ee a good question, gayle. there are more concerns for privacy. what the laws have basically said, is loorks if it's something where you don't have a

reasonable expectation of privacy, that under circumstances such as these, people can take a look at it. and here the argument is clearly by the school you're sejdnding these out. so cleely you don't have an expectation of privacy. it's exactly the opposite. you're putting it auto there for the public. that seems to be the standard there. if it's inside your pocketbook or your wallet that's a different issue but if you're posting it for other people to see, so far the law has said we can take a look at it. >> but theoretically these are thanks happening outside the school, correct? >> that's a big question anthony. clearly if they're monitoring and picking up threating, situations where they're saying i'm going to kill my classmates yes, the children canning at on that. we've seen lately that now more and more schools are looking into this. suppose what you're sending out

there is a post that says my history teacher is an idiot. that's going to depend on a lot of factors whether or not your school has a conduct code. many of them do now where they say respect is going to be a factor. there are all sorts of issues that will come if there sba as a consequence of this. >> our next story should be easy to victory is seeing him find balance, watching a little girl become a little lady, and finding the courage to let her go. but what about the little victories? a smile... a confident glow...

there's growing evidence this morning that growing gastrointestinal bacteria does more than digest food. scientists have discovered important rulesen the so-called

bacteria bacteria. "cbs this morning" contributor dr. david agus is professor of medicine at usc and joins us this morning bright and early from university of kachlt good morning. >> good morning. >> what does it do for us? >> well, listen. you have ten-fold more bacteria in your body than you do human cells in the body. these bacteria control your metabolism. they control how you absorb your food, your hormone levels and immune system. >> why do some people have more and some have less? >> well you remember there was a study that just came out. it's really a profound study where they took people who were obese and not obese and they looked at their bacteria. the people who were obese had significantly less bacteria and they were less diverse and what's intriguing about it is in the second study in the same

journal of nature they changed the diet. so all of a sudden these bacteria are associated with being obese and when they had fewer bacteria they were actually the bacteria that caused inflammation. and, remember, inflammation is the source of heart disease, can serks and neurocognitive decline. so all of a sudden there's this tie-in between back tear yand disease and how much you actually weigh. >> you want to have this good bacteria and the question is, doctor, how do i get me some. >> well, listen. it's a great question. this story is really important because i think it starts to shed light on the fact that we're beginning to get to the root cause of disease. and so once you get to a root cause, many times it's the beginning of the end, which is very exciting. at the same time how do you get to those good bacteria today? well it's eat a good diet. it's a hi-fi ber diet low calorie diet good healthy foods, eat at regular times and

don't forget lower inflammation. it seems to be the root of the cause of many of these situations. all of them can lower inflammation which is key. >> all right, dr. agus. good morning. low clouds and fog out the door this morning, drizzle at the coastline but the clouds already trying to break up out over the bay bridge and we are going to see a whole lot of sunshine there this afternoon. still, some gray skies to begin with early on this morning. but by the afternoon, temperatures will actually be a little bit warmer. some 70s and 80s around the bay, 80s and low 90s possible inland and 60s out toward the coastline with patchy fog. next couple of days we'll warm things up. more clouds over the holiday weekend. a firm you probably never heard of is now the fastest growing company in the world. this morning "fortune magazine" will reveal its annual list of

this broadcast. he said it can't be one and done. you have to assume you're going to have to do more. are you concerned about that? >> well look. i think there are several options for the administration to consider. they can take missile attacks against some of the critical elements of the assad regime having them get a message that there are consequences for using chemical weapon ss. they might look at it and strike it then sending a message to everyone there's a consequence. there's a more difficult path forward looking at how you eliminate the chemical weapons cachets throughout syria. there's a more difficult challenge but the prlt had a series of options and this is not about regime challenge nor about a long term engagement

nor is it about boots on the ground. >> why is it not boots on the ground? >> because at the end of the day that would be a complicated effort. and to the extent that anyone should seek change it should be those. >> i know you called this one of the greatest humanitarian crises crises. would it be right to take action would the approval of koj? >> the president has the ability too go ahead if he believes the national security of the united states is at stake to act. if that action goes beyond 60 days, then he needs to come to the congress. >> but you're okay? >> i'd like to see him come for congressional approval but i also think time is of the essence here. >> some key congressional liters are meading this afternoon to get information. what are you expecting to hear? what do you want to hear? >> i'll be on that call. and the reality is that i hope to hear -- and i've had some of

these discussions already. the underpinnings of the intelligence. from my understanding, both the nature of the weapons that were used. the delivery system, the nature of the attack itself pretty much makes it rather clear that only the regime itself or elements of the regime have the capacity to do that and that speaks to who's responsible at the end of the day. >> if you do take action are you concerned about who takes retaliation against u.s. citizens and abroad? >> i worry already when you have syria evolving into a failed state and hezbollah who are backed by iran. when you have al qaeda elements there that what we'll have is a country in which ultimately attacks against the united states and/or our interest and allies within the region can be leveed. and so at the end of the day, at least there must be a confinement that chemical weapons is not a vehicle of destruction that you can use.

>> how soon do you think this attack is likely to happen if it happens? >> i don't think the president has made an absolutely decision but i would say after u.s. weapons inspectors leave syria. >> which is saturday. >> that puts us sometime this week. >> what if you say to americans, look, we're involved in enough conflicts, we don't need to get involved in others. >> i don't do this -- i don't take this position lightly, but the reality is if we do not act we are going to have a global message that the use of chemical weapons against citizen, including against our troops allies in other parts of the world can be had without consequence. >> senator menendez, thank you. >> thank you. >> every summer capitol hill has a lot of fine upstanding student interns but then there are a few rotten apples

>> i like to say it's a museum dinosaur. there's a few left in this country still operating. >> reporter: built in 1923 engine 4960 makes its way to the canyon once a month. it may be old, but 4960 is no fossil and no longer burned. >> we had to find a way to keep it running. it's burning vegetable oil now. >> potato chips, french fries? >> that's how it started somewhere. >> how many miles to the gallon? >> it's more how many gallons to the mile. >> bob baker is the general manager. who found a reason to run this 90--year-old locomotive. >> this young man was pouring oil from a fafrt food restaurant into his diesel engine vehicle and drove it down the street. here we have it today. a 1923 steam engine running on

waste vegetable oil. >> reporter: it isn't free. it's a commodity costing nearly the same as standard diesel fuel. on average,en $3 per gallon. it's the environmental cost that most concerns the railway. >> versus the old engine this is as green as it can get. >> reporter: how green? >> i believe it's very difficult. we have difficulty putting smoke out of the stax. people who like to take photographs, we have difficulty doing that. >> reporter: the smoke long skoes yated with burning coal or crude is now achieved by adding sand to the furnace. the clean burning fuel which does not harm the environment is also less harmful to the engine extending the life of an otherwise dying breed. so there are only a few of these dinosaurs left. >> that's correct. even the ones that are left

usually have limited opportunities for operation. >> reporter: some 250,000 steam engines werebility in north mark drning the steam era. today fewer than 2,000 remain. most supplying plieg spare parts to the roughly 100 locomotives still on the rails. >> so what's the message here? some of this old technology can do something very cool. >> the message is if we're going to keep the dinosaur alive, we've got to feed him correctly. with demonstration that two technicians can marry themselves. you can come up with a good product. >> you know what i say to that? i got it more than once. it was a lot of fun. >> i bet you pulled it all the way. >> as often as i could. about 200,000 a year take this

trip and the unknown environmental factor is about 1,700 are not going to take to the road. >> that looks like smoke coming ks like smoke but it's not. >> number everyone wants to see the smoke because that's what they remember so they create it using sand. >> they want the photo op. >> where does a person buy the outfit? is that casey jones? >> i don't know. he's the guy who makes it work. when you figure it out it's simple. it does smell a little like mcdonald's in that engine. >> that ain't a bad thing. thank you, peter greenberg. that will do it for us. your local news is coming up next. we'll see you tomorrow on "cbs
