assure all assaad -- assaad as a minority. they are heavily invested in the baathist regime. the fact butsaid they are associated with the dictatorship, it can lend itself to a terrific civil war and sectarian violence. that is more likely to happen then not to happen. there are some things that should be done diplomatically. i hope that happens. >> let's go to the audience. >> i am a fan of technology. i read an article about how they used to listening devices that could tell by the resonance who was speaking, the age of the people even. can you shed any light without divulging any of the secrets about technology used in intelligence gathering? >> i would not want to be the guide but went on c-span talking about the. i would say that information is everything, and in this information age as you walk through life, you said it's of information. you bought-spirited your picture was taken. you bought a candy bar you use your cellphone, and you let steve jobs push his buttons. to live in an information society, where everything is information. the bad guys live-in the same world

it you see their expanded role in nation state terrorism, they are supporting al assaad, come i think they would throw him over they thought they could get a pro-iranian regime. there is no love lost there. southern lebanon is a destabilizing force and now they feel they can conduct an actual attack of the united states, brazenly moving their operations. what is the sense that they believe that when we say "all options are on the table, "that they honestly believe it? you can see where the narrative from their perspective may be different and i think that drives -- that jives. a through their eyes, they are making progress. he is welcome to talk about that, but if you were looking at this from the iranian perspective, it looks like things are going their way. how did he get them to understand that we are deadly serious about all options being on the table. >> and there are the initial threats to close the strait of hormuz. we made it clear that it was not acceptable. they kind of temper their rhetoric and also, by their behavior, on when the transit is indicative of that. yes, there i

in terms of the support of president assaad has been getting, russia is one of the allies. some are calling it a failure of diplomacy because it was a watered-down version, and even that failed with members of the security council. good >> they attempt to find a common ground. but related paper over the security council, and that comes down to the fact that russia wants him to stay, and the other members want him gone. the fundamental split is not resolvable, and that came to ahead yesterday. >> finally, if you want to get into syria, and what is it like for you to get to the country, and what is it like logistically? >> the government is nogiving limited visas to journalists. others have been going in-house illegally. the is obviously dangerous. it is limited as to some of the dangers. >> thanks very much for joining us and giving your perspective on what have month -- what happened. >> my pleasure. paul discusses the state of manufacturing, jobs, and what they consider unfair who manufacturing practices from china. they talk about the obama of administration's decision an
