it matters to our security and the security of our allies. it matters to israel. it matters to our friends, jordan, turkey, lebanon. all of whom live a stiff breeze away from damascus. it matters to all of them where the syrian chemical weapons are and if unchecked they can cause greater damage and destruction to those friends. and it matters deeply to the credibility and the future interests of the united states of america and our allies. it matters because a lot of other countries whose policies challenge these international norms are watching. they are watching. they want to see whether the united states and our friends mean what we say. it is directly related to our credibility and whether countries still believe the united states when it says something. they are watching to see us syria can get away with it. because maybe they too can put the world at risk. make no mistake, in an increasingly complicated world of sectarian and religious extremist violence, what we choose to do or not to do matters in real ways to our own security. some cite the risk of doing

france really needs some allies. in terms of the united nations the security council blocked by russia also to a lesser extent by china this time around. one other option -- western powers could try and keep pushing and table another resolution at the united nations even if it is doomed to failure to try to show that there is international support to try to put pressure on him that way as well. >> the no vote in the united kingdom came as somewhat of a surprise, but the result means that the u.k. will not join the u.s. if there is an eventual offensive. david cameron says his government will respect that decision. >> british parliament has spoken very clearly about its views about military involvement. that does not stop us from condemning chemical weapons or the assad regime. it does not stop us working with allies to bring the maximum pressure on this regime and the appalling things that it is doing. on this specific issue of british military action, i think that was the message. >> let's get more on the implicatio

there will, of course, probably be at least one major european ally, france.ut, nonetheless, from an international law perspective in terms of what we've seen previously, this is going to be an operation without a great deal of international legal cover. which is not to say, of course, that international role doesn't evolve over time. that's an argument i think you'll hear the white house making. >> ban ki-moon, u.n. secretary general, has repeatedly said over the past few days, including as recently through a spokesman today, that they are urging the u.s. not to launch any military strikes. in the words of his spokesman today, give peace a chance. back to the white house. jim acosta is getting more information on what's going on. these are critical moments right now. i assume the president is also on the phone with some world leaders. hasn't gotten a whole lot of support militarily for a u.s. operation. although he is getting some rhetorical support. >> reporter: that's right, wolf. and it's fwood that you mention that. because we stopped playing that tape ju

national interests can be affected by what happens to the allies of the united states. it is very dubious that syria could ever launch some type of chemical weapons directly against the united states. as you mentioned, they could launch them against israel and jordan and any other place that is close by and/or take other action or there could be let's say iranian involvement, not with chemical weapons but in some other ways, so that i think is how they're defining that. >> all right. jill dougherty at the white house. wolf blitzer in washington, thank you so much. appreciate it. going to be following the story closely in the hours and the days to come. ahead on "cnn newsroom," as the u.s. and the u.k. build their cases for military action in syria, our next guest gives us distinctive reasons why the u.s. should stay out of the conflict, his case up ahead.

ally in the region. can make the case that if syria continues to disintegrate, what is the domino effect? the question is what case will he make. we haven't heard from the president yet yet. we've heard from secretary kerry and the vice president. you just heard from two members of congress, one a conservative republican, one a liberal democrat. if there were a republican in the white house, there would be a lot more signatures on that letter. democrats are muting their criticism of the president out of partisan loyalty right now. but you're beginning to see more anti-war members starting to question shouldn't he come to congress first. this is not an imminent threat against the united states. and then questioning can you do this? >> and remember, barack obama as a senator voted against -- or spoke out against going to war against iran. >> right. i think a lot is going to depend on how this administration defines the mission. we've already heard them say it's going to be narrow. but i do think that the a

>> iran has said don't strike syria, our ally, or there will be massive retaliation. as one who has been to iran, it's rhetorical. you get big statements like this. it's not surprising that iran is saying at least in words, not actions, don't hit our ally. i think when russia is saying there are going to be consequences, what they're saying is not that they're going to do something to the united states but rather that they fear that this military intervention will have repercussions in the region. it could widen the war and make the sectarian violence worse. that set of consequences rather than something they would do themselves. >> how involved is iran and what is going on in syria? >> iran is deeply involved, but it has mixed feelings about this. syria is iran's only ally in the region, and for that matter, russia has this long-time tie to syria. russia's only naval port, and it's a modest one but the only naval port outside of the soviet union is in syria. both have long-term ties to syria. this has evolved over time where there's a religious dimension of this, bec

program the united states is facing the pro prospect of going it alone in syria after washington's key ally withdrew its support for airstrikes and historic vote british lawmakers defeated a motion by david cameron's government marking the first time in recent years that the u.k. has refused to take part in a u.s. led intervention military action was rejected by a margin of thirteen votes with thirty members of cameron's own party turning against him parliament refused to sanction british involvement in syria even if un inspectors conclude that damascus was indeed responsible for the use of chemical weapons earlier in august at attack that reportedly killed hundreds of civilians in the eyes of lawmakers cameron was unable to make a sufficiently convincing case against acid. well when pressed by m.p.'s to explain why the syrian regime would have resorted to step provoking for inaction the premier admitted that british intelligence could not pinpoint a motive cameron didn't urge lawmakers to make their own judgement against us and act on their convictions that didn't win over parliament creat

>> well, honestly, i don't think we need any allies. i don't really see the purpose of a military strike here, but if we're going to do it we should be doing it right now. every day that goes by allows assad to move his chemical weapons stockpiles to other locations, maybe in heavily populated urban areas to disburse as command, control, and communications for his military to take steps to minimize the effect of a u.s. strike. we're not going to have any action in the u.n. security council, which i'm sure the obama administration would like. russia and china made that very clear. so, gathering allies at this point might be helpful in some political sense, but it allows the military advantage, i think to move to syria. >> trace: just buys time. ambassador john bolton, gordon chang, thank you both. >> thank you. >> trace: the fate of the convicted fort hood shooter now in the hands of a military jury who could give him the death penalty. but does it complicate their job that hasan says execution could make him a martyr. more breaking news

and its allies will strike, but when.wn their rhetoric a lot in the recent hours really. before they kept saying syria was going to defend itself in every way, shape or form if it was attacked, now all of that seems subdued, brianna. >> you think the syrian response might be here or what we can see from syria's allies? >> well, i think that would depend on what sort of action was taken. if there was limited action, i'm not sure there would be any action at all. remember, the israelis, for instance, struck this country for several times. i was on the ground when they hit a gigantic weapons depot here. there was some rhetoric coming out of damascus. there wasn't any other sort of response to that. certainly no military response. i would be very surprised if there was a response if the u.s. and their allies do cruz missile strikes. we have to remember that most of the gears they have is from the 1980s. no match to what the united states has. on top of that, you have the fact that this military is engulfed in the civil war th

our oldest ally, the french said the regime "committed this vile action, and it is an outrage to useeapons that the community has band for the last 90 years in all enter nat conventions." the australian prime minister said he didn't want history to record that we were "a party to turning such a blind eye." >> our diplomatic editor dave bass is at the united nations. apart from france, has anyone else said that they want military action? the u.k. has voted no, germany and canada have also said no. >> well, there is a problem in that respect if you are building an international alliance if you have countries that condemn what happened, but you have to have countries to support what may be about to be done and that is facing president obama right now. i think it's pretty clear from the words that we've heard, patty's assessment i concur with completely, we now have the u.s. saying they have no faith in the security council, condemning russia for blocking any efforts in the security council, the u.s. saying yes, there's the chemical weapons inquiry, those investigators out there, but we
