around the world regarding the role of the saudis on the ground in syria the reports regarding prince bandar bin sultan and his connection of course as we know for many years to the political establishment not only in saudi arabia but also in the united states having earned him the wonderful moniker bandar bush so we see that the saudis as well as the qataris who are really in charge of a lot of the financing a lot of the. funneling of weapons via turkey via lebannon these are not you know disinterested parties and these are not parties who are interested in humanitarianism they're interested in furthering their own regional hegemon in their own aspirations not only in the region but to become economic powers remember that qatar is the number one gas exporter in the region israel intends to become one of the major gas exporters with their recent discoveries off the off the eastern mediterranean coast syria iran iraq pipeline has become a major threat for these powers and so their interests are strategic in geopolitical not humanitarian i think that again i mean i hate to come back to the sam

prince bandar, the former ambassador to washington has been traveling the world to drum up support for some type of military campaign. thick you might see saudi arabia, whether it's base, overflight rights, they haven't announced anything yet but i think secretary kerry is looking for something like that. i think some of the other countries will be a little bit more private about what they'd be willing to contribute. qatar today said -- the qatar foreign minister said his country supported intervention and looking what they can do. what secretary kerry said he hopes in the next 24 hours more countries would be signingt totn signing on to that statement from st. petersburg and seeing what they can do. in the next 24 hours, we will know what they conditian do. >> thanks. >>> tomorrow, president obama will sit down with wolf blitzer about the intervention in syria. it airs at 6:00 p.m. eastern time on cnn. >>> has the crisis in syria inspired republican congressman peter king to officially announce a run for the white house in 2016? we'll ask him in just a moment. the humble back seat. we

one projects were when we found out just a couple of weeks ago the saudi intelligence chief prince bandar bin sultan there had been closed meetings with russian president putin where he basically said look you know why don't you switch sides you know stop supporting all sides because you know we're going to win the war and when we win we're going to control the outcome and we've basically to make sure that we can make sure that any regime that comes off with will not damage your gas interests and will not basic compete with your on supplying europe's gas but this is quite interesting because you know a lot of people debate how for some of these plot line you know is it something that we clearly the regional players find it very important health. mentioning qatar wanting to run natural gas here there are rana wanting iran as well and natural gas for their saudi arabia they wanted to run a pipeline hop in competition with cutter i understand that they were it was like almost a battle between these two countries over who was going to control the new regime in syria if they were able to pull

start to make calculations based off of that, and for me, example number one is the saudis and what bandar is doing i can understand how aggressive they've gotten in certain areas. the trip to moscow worries me because there are serious things happening in that relationship that would not have happened were it not for the absolute collapse of faith in the united states, and while there may be good things that can come out of it for the saudis to be off on their own, a lot of bad things can come out of that as well potentially. but that is the kind of uncertainty that we are dealing with in the system that i think has led to quite a bit of trouble. i agree in the first place that syria now takes on this huge importance in terms of trying to convince the iranians that we are serious. i think that operation is now going to need to be something that perhaps the president and his team did not think a couple of weeks ago it might have needed to be. it will now need to have real effects on syria and on other adversaries in the region, that they do not want to test the united states in this regard
