clear, this is not going to turn into afghanistan or iraq . military people are saying to me, how do you know that? what happens if assad retaliates in some way? you are notnow that going to get dragged into? one official said to me, the answer is fuzzy. on london and eye washington. how much of a blow is it to the americans that the brits voted the way they did last night? >> i'm sure they are pretty annoyed, and trying to keep it under their hat. there has been very little public expression of anger. britain is very sensitive about what america says. when john kerry called the branch america's oldest ally, but did not mention britain, that has smarted. it's really hurting in london. newfield the americans may make you may sayment -- the americans may make a casual comment. >> thanks very much for coming in. inside syria itself, u.n. inspectors spent their last day in the country. they're expected to leave for the hague tomorrow and begin the process of analyzing their samples. residents of damascus are stocking up on emergency supplies in pr

started seven conflicts in various parts of the world but did that really solve any problems afghanistan or iraq libya there's no democracy there now which is what the us claimed it tried to bring there's no civil peace or balance all of these has to be taken into account before making the decision to stop bombing syria which will lead to civilian casualties so as the world expects a u.s. air strike at any time a prudent urging restraint at this moment in time. the u.n. chief doesn't want a military action in syria until his chemical weapons inspectors present their findings to the security council and that could take a couple of weeks but washington has said it will decide on what to do regardless of the probes results the u.s. appears ready to pull the trigger soon but much of the world would track the plan he's gonna check out explaining. well the obama administration is laying the groundwork for a military strike against syria but the president says he has not made the final decision spend the last few days scrambling an intelligence assessment that would make the case for an attack on syria

understand this is an ancillary job and there is a high revel of rotation of people coming back from afghanistan or iraq, whatever the case may be, but we also reach out to squadron level training. it really comes down to meeting with your cooperating agencies and training together on a frequent basis and having good and open dialogue. >> as i look back at that map here, knowing we were heading into that time of year where we're going to hit significant fire weather and knowing northern california as we are now but eventually southern california, one of the most effective ways to stop the fires from growing is that initial attack, which means we need to be able to quickly put resources up in the air and move them. i guess my question is from a national guard perspective, from a naval perspective, with the helicopter resources down there, do you feel you would be able to quickly move those resources and you have the agreements in place. we'll start with the national guard and work on our way down. >> although we're advertised as a one week a month and two weekends a year, i've got crews on pretty much ev

find that the beginning was the stuff afghanistan is just it's very hard to gather data in afghanistan or iraq dobro did inform me that they do have yemen and somali drone strike you know we decided the very end just to stick with this town because there is a very clear story to be told there is a tactic there's a timeline you can show in sheriff resigns there's this huge increase when obama takes over that increased in two needs to grow and that's really what we want to stick. rather than trying to muddled up with a bunch of other countries but we do plan on expanding this this was a project that we did on our own dime and so it's just a matter of getting mexico where millions are fed and then coming back to the us unless of course we can find somebody out there who can help fund us with the grahams or something you can see me doing and let's look at another image you guys created it and the arms and ammunition that are important export i love this and edits amazing if we can take a look at that what exactly are we looking at here of course we know that guns are the largest export of the u.s.

the biggest misconception is that the place is turning into another afghanistan or iraq where you'veot bombs going off, attacks. it is not, as you see. libyans have gone through an awful time having fought for freedom. people have died and struggled and that is going to hold them together. the great outdoors... ...and a great deal. thanks to dad. nope eeeeh... oh, guys let's leave the deals to hotels.com. ooh that one! nice. got it! oh my gosh this is so cool... awesome! perfect! yep, and no angry bears. the perfect place is on sale now. up to 40% off. only at hotels.com i missed a payment. aw, shoot. shoot! this is bad. no! we're good! this is your first time missing a payment. and you've got the it card, so we won't hike up your apr for paying late. that's great! it is great! thank you. at discover, we treat you like you'd treat you. get the it card with late payment forgiveness. is that true? says here that cheerios has whole grain oats that can help remove some cholesterol, and that's heart healthy. ♪ [ dad ] jan? ♪ you deserve more than justo flexibility and convenience. so here

so it's not just the old al qaeda in afghanistan or iraq. al qaeda is taking different forms and shapes and that's the reality that the state department -- >> repeat my question. he said we decimated al qaeda, okay? he said they were not the threat that they once were, however you wish to paraphrase it. our clips were pretty specific. have they now, thankfully, changed their position about the al qaeda threat? is that what you hear about this announcement? >> no. this is an administration that's been ever vigilant in fighting the threat since they came in office. they were focused about getting osama bin laden from the beginning and they've been executing drone strikes at a rate faster than the bush administration and by the way, that's upsetting a lot of liberals as he's -- libertarians and liberals. that's true, and i think the reality is that this probably is a bit of an overreaction as mark suggested, but if he didn't do this, you know what people would say? oh, benghazi. benghazi. just like nan and mark are saying right now. >> you're g

. >> well, i think the crucial thing is that there is no talk in light of afghanistan or iraq of sendingn american soldiers or even any western soldiers. it seems that the administration is very carefully managing expectations, internationally as well as in the u.s. this will most likely be an air strike with missiles rather than planes. >> then how does assad respond to that? >> the idea would be to weaken assad. it's basically a repeat of what we saw in libya. the same coalition. the french, the british, nato allies, perhaps qatar and the uae and the same m.o., which is you take assad's air force out of the equation, you bomb the sites where you think he has strengths and where you have concern, and then you expect that the uprising will be strengthened by this, the regime will be weakened, and that will change the balance of power. >> but as the congressman mentioned, there seems to be no winning side here in that the rebels still offer uncertainty to the u.s., which was part of the argument as well with libya, if we're using that as a comparison. >> yes, it was. it's a shame two year

reaction and quite frankly if we are going to talk about a threat, what about afghanistan and iraq? neither afghanistan or and bombed us including on september 11th. >> i will respond to that. >> there were plenty of connections to that and folks in the spectrum supported that and at that point they were convinced. >> they supported it based on why? >> you go with the best intelligence that you have. and convinced with the intelligence that there was enough reason to act. >> afghanistan was playing host to al-qaeda and they chose not to hand over ben bin. and we took action with the support of congress and we don't need to relitigate the iraq war. but when democrats and barak obama attacked the bush administration for the cow by approach when president bush had coalition of 38 nations and approval of congress and involved the un in the point it was used to. this president hasn't spoken to democrats or republicans and ignoring the legislative branch of government and using the un as a side show and they are calling for a four- day delay and any u.s. military action, it looks leak the u.s. is going to ignor

many probably came from afghanistan or iraq where they learned to fight the u.s. they come from north africa, yemen, they come from all over. that organization particularly has very close contact with ahman al zawahiri over in the pakistan region. it's very much a movement based on ideology that has very little to do with the kind of organization we're used to. it's right there in the center of a country that has massive chemical weapons. >> speak to that point in terms of what is the threat if al qaeda and al qaeda affiliates get control of a state? >> well the people who know the most about chemical weapons in the united states, charlie, say that what is scary about syria is not just the presence of chemical stockpiles it's the knowledge, the technical knowledge and training and know how and delivery systems that are required to deliver those weapons. a dirty bomb is terrifying as a concept but it really is not even as effective as many conventional weapons. what they are afraid of in syria is that the people who know how to use them and the delivery systems tha

said very clearly that whatever decision he makes in syria, it will bear no resemblance to afghanistan, iraq, orlibya. it will not involve any boots on the ground. it will not be open ended, and it will not assume responsibility for a civil war that is already well under way. >> there is absolutely no question that when secretary of state john kerry made sure to point out that any action against syria would not be like iraq, that the ghost of iraq from the selling of the war on false premises to its execution hovers around any decision about action on syria. and the ghost of iraq haunts international leaders as well in describing the effect the iraq debacle had on british lawmakers' rejection of prime minister cameron's request for military action, a tory legislator said the prime minister knew that the well had been poisoned by iraq, but i don't think he realized how much that was the case. great quote. and the wording in this "washington post" piece, the main bar piece this morning on the british parliament's rejection shows the degree to the deception of the last war that sold the iraq war ha

i mean, when their service member or their guardsman or reservist goes off to iraq or afghanistan, we have found the communities wanting to be very involved as well as kathryn had mentioned. so, we consider them, too, as far as being part of the broader that, um, takes care of our families. a lot of parents are being more and more engaged. i mean, one of the things that we hear is how engaged they are-especially with our wounded, ill, and injured. so, um, our family or definition of family has really expanded. and traditionally, we thought of even the wife, the husband, the children, and now it really it goes, it's more complex than that for the immediate family of, of the military service member. correct? oh, definitely, because we have partners: those that are together, um, no, not necessary in marriage but are living together. and 'course, now, with the passage of don't ask and don't tell, we have that particular partner going on as well. and so, they are also embraced as far as being part of the, uh, the family as well. and even the veterans administration, i think, is looking ver

we used to have as i was a kid payback's of the united states can't win a war whether it's iraq or afghanistan whether it's libya whether was vietnam so the people have lost faith in the military aspect of the government the policing aspects of the government and so they realize on the economic end that they're on their own only the too big to fail are there to be say. deposits you know when they move them they take them if you want your money in your own possession you don't have your money here this is a fact when nine eleven happened i know this personally i try to get my money out of certificates of deposit c.d.'s. and i call the fleet bank their gun now they fleeted away i got exe citi group or one of them bank of america bought them out and i wanted my money transferred to my local bank and they said no you can't get it i got shifted by m.f. global's scam when jon cause i'm brought down the company and they stole my money out of my segregated account so the first thing is the golden rule if you don't have any gold you're not going to rule anything you have to bet avner money and in more

the secretary said this was not iraq, this was not libya or afghanistan.do with our constitutional responsibility as members of congress, andrea. there are members who would o vote for this. there are members who may not vote for it. the point is, we should engage in the discussion and a full public debate and talk about what the unintended and intended consequences could or should be and in fact, what the regional implications are and what the engagement of our military hardware and some military forces could be. i trust the president that he's not going to send boots on the ground. i know that he does not want to engage this country in another long-term, open-heended war. we get that. that has nothing do with members of congress representing the people in our country who would like to engage in this debate and cast a vote on their behalf. that's our constitutional and our legal requirement. >> thank you very much barbara lee. by the way, as my colleague rachel maddow said last night, there was a lively house debate on this for eight hours yesterday. it w

said very clearly that whatever decision he makes in syria, it will bear no resemblance to afghanistan, iraq or even libya. it will not involve any boots on the ground. it will not be open ended. it will not assume responsibility for the civil war that's already well under way. the president has been clear. any action he might decide to take will be limited in tailored response to ensure that a flay grant use of chemical weapons is held accountable and ultimately, we are committed. we remain committed. we ploobelieve it's the primary objective. we know there's no ultimate military solution. it has to be political. it has to happen at the negotiating table. we are committed to getting there. that's what we know. that's what the leaders of congress now know and that's what the american people need to know. that is of the decision that must now be made for the security of our country and for the promise of the planet where the world's most heinous weapons must never again be used against the world's most vulnerable people. thank you. >> there you hear the secretary of state john kerry making the c

-- the status quo is unacceptable and usoco is not a presumption that we will have another iraq or afghanistan. were becauses they we did not have integrated planning or capacity or effective oversight. that is why they lasted so long. i would urge that we will avert a future iraq and afghanistan but more effective integration because the operations will be more successful. rather than being nine or 12 years long, they will be much shorter and we can have a vision expectatione -- an of what success looks like by ensuring that somebody has this mission as their primary duty, not as there are additional duty which is currently the case across the interagency. it is not the primary duty of any agency. when it comes to execution, they have been focused on their primary duty until suddenly called upon to respond and they have been resourced sufficiently so they don't have planning in place and the resources are not there so you wind up staying too long. it is too expensive in blood and treasure. >> i will invite a few people to ask questions and then we will invite our spigot to make their final co

very narrowly targeted, that it would be kind of in and out and that this is not going to be iraq or afghanistanent himself made that point. because don't forget, his rise to power came out of an anti-war activism against the war in iraq and now the skepticism that he faces is the same skepticism he had years ago about george w. bush. >> as you have said, you look at the poll, we are a war weary nation and to quote christiane a amanpour, we have case of waritis. >>> one of the issues "crossfire" has always covered and will cover in the future is national security and there are some big life-and-death questions. former secretary of defense robert mcnamara and about to be vice president dan quayle are debating america's strength and what we need to do to be safe in the last days of the soviet union. >> let me tell you something, they are proud of their military, they've invested a lot of money and you know what, it works. >> may i just interrupt one second. we shouldn't debunk the u.s. military. there isn't one single senior u.s. military commander who believes the abm system around moscow is anyt

sure that we have a calculated response making sure we don't want to put ourselves and afghanistan another iraq orituation we can't get out of. let me just add. this obviously this has been going on now for some time. i remember when we -- we were just touching 10,000 deaths in syria. there was an outcry as to what is the administration going to do. it was quite frankly, i felt, not a strong enough response. we kept kind of waffling back and for the. there was no direct response. no intimidation factor so to speak. and there was a question should we establish a no-fly zone. should we start to obviously impose draconian sanctions. and, quite honestly, there was nothing done. here we are at 100,000 plus and with no end in sight in this travesty, we are as a country, we are a country of good. we do try to obviously do good things throughout the world and quite frankly, when there is killing of women and children, gassing allegedly gassing of women and children, at what point does this suppose supposed red line you heard it before is a semi red line? are we playing hopscotch with the line? what are we

they'll come back from iraq or afghanistan and they'll become criminals. for example, charles whitman, who climbed university of texas tower in 1956 and massacred people at random, it turns out he had a brain tumor. he was killed that day, and in an autopsy they discovered he had a brain tumor. now that we have noninvasive brain imaging technologies, we will be able to detect this sort of thing much more often. at some point there will be a crime committed like the virginia tech shooting or the columbine shooting or the aurora movie theater shooting and we'll find that the perpetrator had a brain tumor. i'm not suggesting any of those events were suggested by a brain tumor, but at some point that will happen. then science will have to deal with this very big question about the relationship between brain and behavior and this question of culpability. i think we should plot five years around those years, so 1975 to 1985, '85 to' '95, just keep sliding that window. i founded the initiative on neuroscience and law, which brings together neuroscientists and law

and he has said very clearly whatever decision he makes in syria will bear no resemblance to afghanistan, iraq, or even libya. it will not involve any boots on the ground. it won't be open-ended. it will not assume responsibility for a civil war that is already well underway. the president has been clear -- any action will be limited in response to ensure the use of chemical weapons is held accountable. and ultimately, ultimately we are committed. we remain committed. we believe it is the primary objective, to have a diplomatic process that can resolve this through negotiation. because we know there is no ultimate military solution. it has to be political. it has to happen at the negotiating table. we are deeply committed to getting there. so that is what we know. that is what the leaders of congress now know. that is what the american people need to know. that is at the core of the decisions that must now be made for the security of our country and for the promise of a planet where the most heinous weapons must never again be used against the most vulnerable people. >> president obama ofke about

afghanistan war before we went into iraq. iraq, we hadinto barely any coverage about afghanistan. the news media, ore mainstream news media, never reports on the war on drugs, the secret wars, flying drones and , the white house declaring war on prescription painkillers. nobody seems to make the connection between vietnam and flow of heroinhe that came into america. now that afghanistan is winding down, you are once again having a huge problem with heroin flowing into america and becoming the new drug of choice, or old drug of choice. even the little pakistani girl that got shot in the head by the i watched, trying to find her speech to the united nations all over. i spent the entire day being a news junkie. and all it talked about was the george zimmerman trial. i eventually had to look it up online and watch the 17 minute speech on bbc.com. let us go to elizabeth on our republican line. let us see if we can get jimmy. wonder if taxpayers are interested in where their money is going to fund all of this. dod.gov is a great source for the u.s. military presence. the annual defense budget, just short

and more they know that has to remain classified and whatever they do, it will not resemble iraq or afghanistan. how important is it congress to to hear? he said it matters to us. >> that was the main message of the message, this matters and that message he intended for several audience. congress, and american public and the rest of the populations of the arab and muslim world in the middle east an important audience. something he said significant and some things left out were significant. he said the united states and administration is consulting and talking to congress, but did not seeking sanctions from congress. and secretary kerry said the risk of doing nothing. critics say that that is a risk that the administration is willing to accept far too long in syria and complicated the current crisis. and secretary kerry, he talked about the dangers of the chemical weapons are left unchecked. that is a hint of the targets we are going to so. we reported yesterday and today based on sources that i talked with. the scope of the bombing will be outside of damascus and will target the chemical weapon
