we're not going to get something decisive, as secretary of state albright said in this case. i think it does take it's use of american force pretty much off the table. americans were not willing to endorse the use of force when it was the president created a crisis situation with people being gassed on august 21. i don't think that they're going to undertake force because there's an indecisive inspection process in a difficult war zone. so i think-- i think it's in the president's interest to assert that the use of force is still on the table, but i think it's very unlikely now. >> i think he has now set a precedent for himself. there's a value in going to congress, which congress didn't expect in this case. it's been so long since the president went to congress for authorization. he set a standard for himself. here's one question-- has he set a standard that future presidents will need to abide by? will future presidents now-- will there be an expectation they will go to congress in a situation like this and ask for authorization before they're moving ahead? >> we're luck we

he could have called madeleine albright. he could have called every person who's been in that position and said what would you do? this is what's happening in syria and every one of them would have given him some advice. >> give us our best chance of what was going on inside his heads when he made the decision, made the bold statement that he would even confer attacking without -- consider attacking without congressional approval. >> it's amazing how we politics sometimes actually assume that we know better. and we will proceed to utter words and i am absolutely guilty of having done that all my life. i would guess that the republicans now know that if they take the high road, they can literally occupy the territory and leave obama scrambling. just as they did this past. >> what about democrats? >> democrats are the same way. even harry reid -- is nonexistent by the way. only nancy really stepped up and boldly said i'm with the president. the others all had -- >> where does that take us? was -- >> the politics aside too. the

albright and stephen hadley last year with the council of foreign relations published a very interesting and rich report on turkish/american relations. they point out that this is the sort of problem that would fuel already high levels of anti- americanism in turkey. one impact study that i made reference to has actually calculated that turkey would be losing 95,000 places of employment as a result of ttip. you are of course welcome to challenge the statistics, but it does suggest that it could lead to unemployment while generating and thent within the eu united states. similar outcomes would be observed in the case of turkey 's trade relations with the european union. turkey runs a large deficit. that deficit would continue to expand. american companies would compete, would have a better deal in competing against turkish companies. the companies with which the eu has been signing these free trade agreements. it is no wonder that we have ministers him i would choose not to name these ministers, who have been using, unfortunately, somewhat integrating language towards the european union.

division three college ball, albright college try as quarterback sneak but he fumbles.defender grabs it, runs 99 yards gets the touchdown and the win 28-14. i hate when that happens. let's do high school football. a blocked field goal. the defense celebrates. hang on a second. the ball on the field is still alive, my friends. offense picks it up, runs it for a touchdown and the victory. a little bit too early in the celebration. it took a push start, but in the end, this dutch cyclist set as new world speed record. 83.13 miles per hour. he rode his high tech recumbent bicycle and, yes, in that bubble is a human fewerrously pedaling like a hamster. it's two or three times more aerodynamic than a bullet. >> hard to believe there is no motor in that thing. >> no, he's like this. and also sitting down like this. >> i need one of those to get through rush hour traffic. thanks so much. >>> turning back to our top political stories. joining me for our first look at politics is boris epstein. thanks for being here. we're facing a showdown over government funding. is there a fac

they are sick of hearing americans talk about we are the indispensable nation, as madeline albright said see further than ours, we're the sheriff of the world, we see first. he's not only appealing to the world. he's appealing to that half of the united states to whom president obama himself was appealing. i think he hit home. >> i think there was a little superpower envy there, as leader of a former superpower, now sees a moment for him to get back on the world stage, appropriately so, i might add. i welcome his involvement in an attempt to find a solution in syria. and in taking a poke at u.s. exceptionalism, i think, you know, he wants to make the point that the, it's not only the u.s. that can make things happen on the world stage, but when there's a humanitarian problem, basically all of those countries look to this country to act. rarely does another country act. the french went into mali, british went into sierra leone. that was very good. mostly when there's a humanitarian crisis, everybody comes to the u.s. with their handout. >> i think vladimir putin is a propaganda, he honed

then secretary of state madeleine albright approved the position, but 14 years later it's never been implemented. it's been handled by the office of undersecretary for management. kennedy approved the post in benghazi despite serious security concerns. >> because of the importance of benghazi and the development of the new libya, we had to have a forward operating loekdz there and we had to have visits there by ambassador stevens. >> reporter: the latest report describes kennedy's office as too large and complex and appears to be the potential root cause for the confusion at the headquarter as level. by defining benghazi as a temporary facility, the state department avoided security standards, which exposed personnel to an unacceptable level of risk. this new internal report concludes that benghazi has demonstrated yet again the vulnerability of u.s. facilities around the world. josh bernstein, al jazeera, washington. >> for more information on al jazeera's exclusive investigation of the embassy attacks in benghazi, go to our website, aljazeera.com. >>> america's auto industry reboun

united states doesn't continue these sanctions and more sanctions and as we saw in iraq when madeline albright former ambassador for the united states was asked a direct question was the death of five hundred thousand iraqi children worth it she said yes and this administration is carrying on in that tradition of they don't care how defects the average iranian person they only care what political advantages they can get out of it in washington so ryan is this just a nurse here in the white know it i mean it's interesting because all my adult life you know when i was living in the united states is that iran is simply the enemy of you know mass media networks i'll just assume that ok without knowing much about iran i mean it what it can to rand do to get someone's attention beyond just capitulating which it won't i really doubt there is no and it's i'm sure i can do i mean mr rouhani is doing a fine job of presenting iran's position and even his charm offensive as they call it is offensive to the hardliners to the neo cons in washington they they they've they've put certain labels on him they're

the world will understand that the united states is the savior of the world that attitude madeline albright more recently united states if we have to use force it's because we are america where the in the spend civil nation we stand taller and see farther than other countries hillary clinton the same thing obama this notion of where the indispensable nation what makes us the indispensable nation but we are the most powerful nation on basis the most powerful nation we have the atomic bombs we had a monopoly on atomic bombs what right do we have to worry about talk about other countries using weapons of mass destruction we began the process at least most serious iteration with the attack on hiroshima and nagasaki and have we apologize for that have we criticize that question that right now in outside of washington d.c. in the air and space museum next we're displaying the enola gay the plane that dropped atomic bombs on hiroshima to start the modern era of weapons of mass destruction and the head of the air and space museum said we're going to display the you know the gay and all of its glory

then secretary of state madeline albright approved the position but it has never been implemented. current undersecretary patrick kennedy who approved the temporary post in benghazi despite series concerns. >> because of benghazi and the development of the new libya we had to have a forward operating location there and we had to have visits by ambassador stevens. >> the latest report described ambassador kennedy's office as too large, by describing benghazi as a temporary facility, exposed personnel to an unacceptable level of risk. this new and internal report concludes benghazi has demonstrated again the vulnerability of u.s. facilities around the world. josh bernstein al jazeera washington. >> if you want to read the documents yourself we've posted them at aljazeera.com. >>> the radiation levels continue to rise at fukushima nuclear plant. what officials say is the risk of tamed water. nidal hasan has been forced to get rid of the beard he has been growing since the arrest. >>> one of of the smallest guys to ever play in the nfl, but he has big game. we sit down with the tail ba

and then secretary of state, madeline albright, approved the position, but it has not been implemented. it has an handled by the secretary of management. approved by secretary kennedy, who approved the outpost in benghazi despite the security concerns. >> because of libya, we had to have a forward operation there, and we had to have visits there by ambassador stevens. >> >> reporter: the new report describes kennedy's office as too large and complex, and by defining benghazi as a temporary facility, they were able to avoid security standards, exposing the staff to risk beings. it has demonstrated yet again, the vulnerability around the world. >> certainly, there's a lot of history involved, and joining us is phil reese, from aljazeera. give us background on this. >> >> reporter: one of the things that i think surprised the authors of the report is when they looked back, they found that many of their recommendations had been made before. the source of that was almost three decades ago. april in 19983, a building in beirut, 63 people, mostly embassy staff, died. six months later in beiru

there was something in 1998 involving madeline albright, but that involved a deputy foreign minister.we really do have history in the making tonight. and people are looking forward to seeing what the outcome is. >> all right. john what else can we expect? >> well, i think the real headline is going to come tomorrow, because the newly elected iranian president is now in town. he flew in this afternoon, and he is going to be addressing the general assembly tomorrow. and after that op-ed piece, i think it's fair to say that everyone is very much looking forward to hearing his words. president obama of course is also speaking tomorrow in the 10:00 hour eastern time. but clearly iran now, and syria are going to dominate this general assembly. it depends on what the president says tomorrow. regarding syria, for president obama and john kerry spending the rest of the week trying to nail down a security agreement. because right now they just have a framework, and they are looking for a security council resolution, and they can't get one. the problem is paperwork. there's a suspicion the russi

thank you. >> thank you very much, david albright for that great summary of where the program is and what some of the implications are. now we are going to turn to call in to give us his take on where the negotiators might be able to go with the election ofrouhan thank you darrell and thanks to carnegie for hosting and thanks to all of you for coming out on a morning to listen to us. my remarksmentioned, will basically focus on three things, whether there is a window of opportunity with the election of rounani to make some diplomatic progress. second what a deal might look like and how investigators might approach set on getting a deal. also what the implications of a possible military strike on syria might be because it is obviously very much in the forefront of our minds at the moment. think there is a lot of skepticism in some quarters in congress among the israelis who is aounai, genuine moderate. he's not going to transform iran into a jeffersonian democracy. but he isgime insider also a pragmatist with a demonstrated history of being able to forge elite consensus on controversi

the last time we even came close was in 1998 when madeline albright had a meeting with a accepty foreignister. so when john kerry meets with the foreign minister to discuss iran's you rain an enrichment program. but it is an exciting thought of president obama meeting and shake hands with the new iranian president. i think what will happen, if it happens at all is they will bump into each other in the corridor, and there will be a handshake. there may or may not be a camera there. actually thinking about it would be hard to believe there won't be a camera there. but that will be very, very interesting after all that has been said by both countries about both countries over the years. but the more important event is john kerry meeting with the foreign minister. >> reporter: that was samantha power that you saw walking through the corridors just a second ago. joining us is professor michael oppenheimer. are we making too much of this handshake between president obama and president rouhani. >> probably. >> but that's what we do? >> that's what you do. it's theater, but it's important theate

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 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. now w

it's striking is the use of the phrase, indispensable nation, first coined by madeliene albright back when she was secretary of state. and embraced by bill clinton when he became president. it's a -- to make the claim that the present moment, i think, is to in effect say that there is no need for us to think steers youly about the implications of our failures over the past decade. in particular, our foreign policy and national security failures. and i'm referring here to the -- specifically to the iraq war. but also by extension, to the afghanistan war. the president is giving americans or the listeners at least permission to forget all of that. and to pretend that they didn't happen. >> after you saw what was going on in vietnam earlier in your career, why did you make a career out of the army? >> in some respects, i didn't have the gumption to get out. i had gotten married right before i deployed. probably foolishly. by the time the obligation, the obligation i incurred, by the time the obligation was up, we had two children, two little kids. and the economy is a little soft. and i

the last time there was a meeting like this was in 1998, madeleine albright under bill clinton. a much lower delegation from the iranian side. if they meet, it will be a chance meeting, probably no more than a handshake. there may or may not be a camera there. >> john, thank you very much. while president obama is dealing with major international issues, there is still that potential government shutdown looming large in washington. we are joined from the nation's capitol. libby, they say when you're in trouble overhome, go over seas or in this case new york and the united nations, but there is that issue of a government shutdown. what are you hearing over the federal budget agreement by the end of the month you? >> it is looming large here. as we know, republicans in the house have said in order to keep funding the government into october and into the future, they want to defund the federal health care allow, known of course as obamacare. the drama has shifted over to the senate. today's not going to be a heavy legislative day, del. the clock is ticking on the legislative proces
