. >> i will bring in al jazeera correspondent, libby casey. libby, now that we know this will be put up for a vote, what might the next few weeks look like? what are you hearing from some members of congress? reporter: the big question, richelle is whether they will come back to early. they are not scheduled to come back until the monday after labor day. there is a lot of chatter about whether they will be called back early and how that could happen. democrats seem far more willing to come back early than republicans. so there may be a bit of a push/pull moment here the president's laid out where he stands and what he wants from congress. but until they get back to washington and have this debate that he is calling for, we are sort of in a waiting pattern. >> david, i want you to weigh in on that. what will the next few weeks look like now? >> this is going to be the mother of all political battles and debates because as the general just said, they are going to keep track of everything syria tries to move, where the target did will ship to. >>

libby? reporter: the speeches and march for today are over, but there are still a lot of people here in the mall and a feeling of community spirit. many people i have talked to have at some point today gone down to the monument on the mall that commemorates martin luther king, jr. they wanted a moment to thing about -- think about his legacy. earlier, i talked to his son, martin luther king, iii, and asked him what his father would think about today. >> you know, i think, again, dad would first be very proud that americans came together to elect an african-american president. but that was not the full filament of his dream. that was certainly an important milestone. in fact, he even predicted that we would have a ang-african-american president probably 10 years before it happened, he and robert kennedy predicted it in their life. so they were able to see it because they were visionaries. but he would be proud of the fact that there are some individuals who are doing very well in corporate am

libby yell war that president obama participated in that was sold almost entirely on the basis of liberating the people from gaddafi was a dictator and they never should have supported him neither. yet what happens is there is a lack of a tension span where americans are very excited about the war and what it has supposedly done for these people and then they stopped paying attention. so they don't realize that it's unleashed this horror against blacks and immigrants being put into detention camps. they don't really look into the circumstantial allies of the u.s. and libyan which were al qaeda affiliate's. and this happens over and over. so americans seem to toggle between the two rationales and it's a very convenient and very useful recipe for constant intervention because a lot of americans don't believe so watching the national security threats as they are presented but they really do want to help foreigners and a lot of other americans are less concerned about that. even if they feel threatened as this fall or miniscule as the terrorist threat they are willing to sacrifice unbelievable a

this year we have a similar pattern where we see a confluence of those incidents like prison rakes in libby, in syria, prison breaks in iraq from all of which have totaled over 2000 hard-core terrace back on the battlefield -- terrorists back on the battlefield. includingation, direct information between al qaeda headquarters instructing al qaeda in the arabian peninsula to attack. those patterns certainly suggest there needs to be -- the u.s. needs to take a more aggressive security posturing and that is what we're seeing now. host: let me get your reaction to this headline. charges have been filed, when libya militia leader has been charged, two others link to the death of ambassador chris stevens and three other americans last september. how significant is this? guest: it enables us to now with criminal prosecution in place, we have the ability to go to the libyans and ask for extradition of individuals that we are tracking and no we believe to have committed a crime. it will allow us to have a deeper opportunity to collaborate with the libyans. seen isains to be whether the libyans will
