let's go places. welcome back to "cbs this norah. a lot of news this morning. the president says he's willing to pursue a diplomatic situation in syria but will use forces if necessary. >> for now the president is asking congress to delay a vote authorizing an attack. major garrett is at the white house. major, what does the white house they think achieved with the president's speech last night? >> the speech was not the call to arms originally drafted. it was a call to wait. the sea of diplomacy a weight of action. it gave the president to address question around the country about military goals and plans. the white house asked congress force to delay the vote authorizing military force.ikely

it shielded the president from a likely defeat. >> president barack obama tried to overcome skepticism over this argument of stakes involved in syria and chemical weapons. >> the regime will see no reason to stop using chemical weapons. as temperature ban against weapons erodes other tyrants have no reason to think twice about acquiring poison gas and th using them.ter: that >> that obama warned could jeopardize forces in the future ive or give tarrants weapons. >> >> this is what's at stake. that is w after careful deliberation i determined it is in the national interest security interest of the united states to respond to the assad rejooim's use of chemical use weapons to a targeted military strike. >> the president promised a y short military campaign.resident >> i will not put american boots on the ground in syria. o i will not pursue an open ended action like iraq or afghanistan. i will not pursue a prolonged

air campaign like libya. >> a limited strike mr. obama vowed will have lasting ting consequences. >> let me make something clear. somethi the united states military itary doesn't do pinpricks. do even a limited strike will send t a message to assad that no otherassad. nation can dlimpt. threa >> the threat of action prompted syria to admit it has chemical weapons and offered to turn themurn over for eventual detruxstructiondestruction. all this with one condition, promises america promises not to striechlkt. >> it's too early to tell offer whether this offer will succeed. any in any agreement, it must verify the assad regime keeps commitments. this initiative has the potential to remove the threat withou of chemical weapons without the use of force. >> action in syria does not meane. u.s. intervention everywhere. >> america is not the world's e policeman a.cemen terrible things happen across the globe. o it's beyond our means to right

every wrong. when with modest effort at risk, we can stop children from ed being gassed to death and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, i believe we should act. >> congress will wait up to two weeks to see if russians and syrians are serious about the diplomatic compromise. behind closed doors, president barack obama urged democrats and republicans to remain silent on the use of military source to allow him to keep that source credible. >> thank you. now with the vote on congress on hold, there are some lawmakers trying to come up with a compromised solution to come up with the pressure on syria.ll. nancy is on capitol hill. good morning. >> good morning norah. >> there are so many members here happy that vote has been placed on hold. six more senators came out against it yesterday including n the republican leader.

wo now there's a group working uponffer crafting a resolution taking into account assad's offer to turn over chemical weapons.d, most of them don't trust assad to but think this approach is he preferable to the alternative. oppositio >> paul summed up the opposition in congress against military strikes zplchlt we have no plan in victory. the obama separation is arguing stalemate. >> earl blumenauer tweeted he wing was relieved to hear the approach.up a group of ten senators is working on a new syria resolution to make sure any international agreement is enforcement. the group gathered tuesday to on create a time frame for assad to hand over chemical weapons establish a system to verify compli compliance and maintain threat

of military action if the syrian regime fails to meet promises. >> everybody is looking for ways. to take them up on what they said they'd do.would do russians said they think syria rid o ought to get rid of weapons.s most of us strongly agree.t rid of syria has to get rid of chemical >> how weapons. >> how do you rewrite the resolution when the diplomatic situation is changing all the time? diplo >> not easy. t >> it does congress the chance to avoid a strike with syria.rt even members that support using e like sen force like senate leader harry reid were not looking forward to defying constituents. totally i'm totally satisfied with that. i'm not blood and thunder guy t shock in awe. >> congressional opposition to save striking syria was increasing by inc the day. still members don't have much confidence that assad will keep keep his word or than the russians russi

will make him. >> i'm skeptical of it because are of the actors involved. the >> senators are working on the resolution but can't tell us when it will be done or when might v congress will vote on it. it's based on events that are still unfolds. >> john dickerson joins us.he good morning. what did the president accomplish? >> he got a chance to talk to wing the american people that haven't been following this everywhere. he got the chance to make a case on horl grounds, national t security grounds and say america role had a unique role. there's a way members of cover. congress say he needs to give them cover. i don't think there's anything m to congress can turn around and say to constituents this supports their vote. the president was trying to argue for military action. he just asked congress to delay hat the vote to support the military of

l action. it was like a locker room speech after the game was postponed. >> if this fails, this effort to find compromise is it less likely the president will get congress to take military action? >> well that's one theory. has the support has been leaking on the this since the president started making the case. i've talked to members who have the been brought into the white hous house p gone to the situation room, seen the pictures. they've talked to the president,nd vice president and came out and said no, i'm not voting for this. each day that goes by the t president lost support. the extent this drags on, it can it c lose support. it allows the president of position to say we tried diplomacy. this is how syria is. we're going to act.lack >> is this lack of support, a lack of lobbying effort by the white house or reflection of the real reluctance of the president to get involved? it seems like the case to me.

>> they've been lobbying like crazy. this speech was difficult. people are worried about retaliation, about this thing g falling apart. the president made the moral case about the children lying about cold dead on the floor. people while they feel that ead on t don't necessarily think that gets them over the hump of being it. reluctant. >> last night a speech written calling obama's zig versus zag. it's almost as several people wrote this speech. >> it's like putting a plain together while it's flying in the air. the president wants to keep the pressure up. he's also saying delay the vote. that's the mechanism keeping the of pressure up. there are a lot of things going on at the same time. >> how long will the president give this compromise an pre opportunity to work? an >> right. it looks like assad has sort of been scared straight by the o threat of force. on the other hand if it ooks

lookslike a delaying action or bluff, the president again is leaking leaking support in congress. then he can't ultimately do what he says needs to be done.done. >> now as nancy reported you have a group of senators gaining momentum we hear in the congress, that would say assad has 45 days to sign the chemical weapon convention, comply or reconnects the threat opposition. >> that reconnects the threat ofsure force to diplomacy. this is the safe place for also senators that didn't want to vote for action now. it will allow the revision that e says we tried, it failed then iled action. >> russians have said we in theid no united nation no military th threat. this may be breaking down. brea >> we'lle know more after john ry kerry returns from the meeting on thursday. a powerful blast in benghazi libya.

♪ it is 8:00 a.m. in the west. welcome back to cbs this morning. president obama pivots on syria, stepping back from imminent military action. he wants to give diplomacy one last shot. nascar gets tough after a cheating scandal. dale earnhardt jr. says he's glad to see the crackdown. he joins us in studio 57. plus, the one of a kind dance troop revving up basketball fans. but first, here's a look at today's eye opener at 8:00. >> we've seen some encouraging sign, in part because of the credible threat of military action. >> the speech was not the call to arms that was originally drafted. it was a call to wait to see if

diplomacy might actually diffuse the syrian crisis. >> it was sort of like a locker room speech after the game had been postponed. >> many americans will pause this morning to mark 12 years since the september 11th attacks. in washington, president obama led a moment of silence at the white house. >> a kind of national referendum on colorado's tough new gun law. if that is the case those who oppose gun control legislation have a lot to celebrate. >> any other legislator in the country ought to be proud if they get taken out after making their state safer from gun violence. >> will anthony weiner and former new york governor look for elliott spitzer after political sex scandals. >> we have the best ideas. sadly, i was an imperfect messenger. >> the caribbean is heating up. that's the energy source of hurricanes. >> it's basically using your thumbprint to ton lock your phone. >> coolest new feature, i think,

is an app that allows you to forget that six months ago you spent $500 on a phone that is now obsolete. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. in his primetime address to the nation, president obama embraced a diplomatic path to ridding syria of chemical weapons. >> the president says a russian plan for the assad regime to surrender its stockpile should be given time to work. he also warns the u.s. is ready to strike at any time. major garrett is at the white house. major, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, gayle, charlie and norah. when the presidnt went to capitol hill yesterday, he met with senate republicans and democrats. he said, i know this is an unpopular idea military strikes against syria. even admitted he didn't believe last night's address would significantly move public opinion in his favor. he told those republicans he believed the address was necessary to explain the stakes &

involved in syria, tell congress to wait on a vote to authorize military force because he also believed a diplomatic option to resolve this crisis might be workable. >> when dictators commit atrocities atrocities, they depend upon the world to look the other way until those horrifying pictures fade from memory. but these things happen. the facts cannot be denied. the question now is what the united states of america and the international community is prepared to do about it. >> reporter: the president promised a limited military campaign, air strikes only no boots on the ground, nothing like iraq or afghanistan. but the president has said all this before, and still congress was likely to reject his call for military force. but the president said we need to keep that option on the table because that threat he said is what has brought the syrians and the russians to the brink of a possible diplomatic compromise one the white house will now pursue aggressively.

>> major, thank you. u.n. human rights investigators say syrian forces carried out massacres against civilians can at least eight times it in the last year and a half. one mass killing by rebel troops is also being uncovered. but the u.n. is stopping short of confirming the assad regime used chemical weapons, even if there's a deal for control of the stockpile, making it difficult could prove difficult. elizabeth palmer reports from damascus. it will be a long time before all the weapons can be identified and destroyed. >> reporter: there's widespread relief in the capital this morning that american air strikes have been averted, at least for the time being. and generally, across the syrian media, both newspapers it and television, the credit is going to the russians for leading the way. already there is pressure building in the west for some sort of timetable to be formalized in the united nations for syria to make real gestures for turning over its chemical

weapons stockpiles. even if a diplomatic agreement were to be reached, it's hard to know how logistically it would happen. this is a country, afterall that is in the middle of a widening civil war. syria has dozens of chemical weapons sites, some of them are mobile. how is would actually get international inspectors into the country and to those sites is hard to imagine, really. as you can hear the conventional weapons fighting is still going on. it wasn't chemical weapons that killed tens of thousands of people in this country over the last year. it was conventional weapons. they will continue to be used in a war that has spread from one end of the country to the other. for cbs this morning elizabeth palmer damascus. >> elizabeth palmer the only u.s. correspondent in damascus. thank you.

this morning, there's new video of a man accused of masterminding an attack on a gas field in algeria back in january. 38 foreign workers were killed including three americans. last month he threatened to target more french interests. today marks 12 years since the 2001 terror attack, and it's been one year since the assault on the u.s. diplomatic post in benghazi, libya. four americans were killed including ambassador chris stevens. before we talk about your report, let's talk about what you have discovered about a guy named "the uncatchable." >> well he's the one-eyed terrorist who made his money smuggling people cigarettes and other contraband but also doing kidnappings. he ran the attack on the gas plant where the u.s. hostages

you interviewed several months ago actually escaped alive. but scores were killed. releasing this tape today is planting a flag literally in the sand and saying we're al qaeda, we're back and we're operating. >> why did everybody think he was dead, john? >> he's been dead before gayle. he's been reported dead and then found alive and reported dead and found alive. with his last reported death, you know, my conversations with the intelligence community, they said not so fast. let's wait. but i defer that to ollie. he knows the player and the region. >> i think it's important, first of all for the tapes to be released on 9/11 the 12th anniversary of 9/11. second, if you watch the tape you will see there is now connections between the different affiliates of al qaeda. the tape starts with a message from al qaeda and the arabian peninsula. the third element of this tape that makes it interesting, it

shows there's significant division between the affiliates. he's now basically breaking up with al qaeda and starting his own thing. we see the same thing in syria with the islamic state of iraq and syria. >> do you think al qaeda is stronger now than ever before? >> it depends. the affiliates are stronger. the organization that attacked us on 9/11 doesn't exist really anymore. however, the narrative hasn't been targeted. that narrative threat from west africa to southeast asia. that narrative today is basically the center of gravity of the organization of al qaeda. after 9/11 they shifted from being chief operator to being chief motivator. >> if the organization has become less of an organization and more of a network, it's 12 years after 9/11. why, as the u.s. government or as the world collective of the

west, have we not been able to find a counternarrative that is as compelling and the tapes people are finding on the internet? >> this is what we try to do with our report. the report was done through the international academy for security studies. we went through so many different regions and continents. we found out that people now realize that we need to counter the narrative on the internet using social media, work with our allies in providing other enty it is on the internet that can provide a counternarrative. >> you talked about al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, what's going on in syria. what about the home grown threat? how serious is that john? >> that is a direct product of what we were just talking about, which is there are 50 attacks targeting the u.s. or targets on u.s. soil since 9/11 over these last 12 years.

the last couple of dozen i've studied in detail all come back to the same place, which includes the boston marathon bombing. i watched the videos and that's what inspired me to do this. that's what i meant by this powerful narrative. where is our counter spoexman who has the same charisma and force? it can't be a government person. i'm wondering in the conference you just did, did anyone say, here is the map of how to do that? >> well it has to differ from one area to another and one region to another. there's no cookie cutter approach. al qaeda always prey on local grievances. i interview dozens and dozens of al qaeda members. i don't remember the two of them joined the group for the same reason. so we need to focus on these local issues. >> so there needs to be a lot of counternarratives. >> absolutely. to go back to the point about the home grown, this is probably the most dangerous thing that faces us today in the west and in the united states because of their individualistic nature of

the threat. >> all right. we thank you. it is now close to >>er number 88 comes to studio 57, dale earnhardt jr. is in our toyota green room. he talks about nascar getting tough with the drivers and makes an admission of his own coming up on "cbs this morning."

that sold world trade center sold the name to a nonprofit. the price, $10. he covered the construction since 2005. welcome. >> good morning. >> how could this happen? >> the port authority operated for decades as a -- think of it as the vatican. it's 16 acres of downtown new york, lower manhattan, it's owned by the port authority of new york and new jersey. it is their jurisdiction. it's a little bit of their family. this was part of his pension plan. he sold it to him for ten bucks. >> why would they agree to sell the name though? >> well, they had no idea. they had a very difficult time getting ten nanlts. the twin towers weren't filled for decades with paying tenants. they're a supragovernmental agency. nobody even knew this occurred in terms of the public. >> that's what's so interesting, scott. because you saw no one's really

paying attention to how it's operating. >> no. they like it that way. they're not elected. they do not tax the public but they collect an endless stream of money. every bridge and tunnel the seaports,arities, they issue their own bonds. condemned those 16 acres to build the world trade center. >> your article raised the point of security. i found it fascinating and friepting. what concerns do you find from that report? >> today, the 12th anniversary of all days, who's going to have jurisdiction over planning and protecting securing those 16 acres? any terrorist expert will tell you there's a 100% chance of someone trying to attack it again. there was an agreement between the nypd and the port they would have jurisdiction. that was thrown overboard. chris christie says as long as

i'm governor nobody else but the port authority will have control over it? >> why has it taken so long to rebound. >> a lot of power and prestige. any one built -- the train station is not yet done. you can write a book about each aspect why it's not done. people in power and people with money have been fighting tooth and nail over control of that sight, over the profits and over whatever glory there might be down there. >> so what would have changed all this? what might have been an ave
