allies have assumed assad is to blame well for more on this let's talk to antiwar activist richard becker from the coalition richard so how can the u.s. and indeed the u.k. be so sure that the assad government is to blame when all the assumptions are based on the numbers of people affected and the symptoms. well of course they're not sure at all what they're doing is where they did a lot and years ago it was reported in the infamous downing street memo said this fixing the intelligence around the objective the u.s. and the british and french are leading the way in seeking to overturn the government of. bashar al assad a partner and you know it's just and comprehensive i think to almost anyone who thinks logically that the syrian government would launch a poison gas attack at the very time that u.n. investigators are in the country investigating an earlier reported use of nerve gas in that country so we are really there the u.s. is doing what it wants to do saying what it wants to say to try to mobilize public opinion in the united states to justify a potential intervention but the it's ha

brian becker is the director of the anti war coalition he says the very timing of these allegations wellthey raise a lot of questions completely root ludicrous that the syrian government would use chemical weapons at the very moment that the u.n. is a launching its investigation about chemical weapons and especially since the syrian government has its advantage but none of it matters what really matters is what the intention is of the white house in their their friends in london in terms of escalating their own intervention and i think the big goal of the of those who carry out the stage provocation is to disrupt any sort of negotiations that could lead to a positive outcome for the existing syrian government meaning the forces of the civil war had not succeeded in this lodging the assad government that's their plan because they know without western intervention without escalated foreign intervention there is no possible way they can succeed on the syrian battlefield they don't have the popular support in syria and they don't have the military where with all to defeat the syrian governme

military buildup in the region do you or activist richard becker says it is not a coincidence. this is. connected to each other and as a strategy to try to reverse the course that the war has taken where the government has made very significant gains and to try to actually step up the effort or to bring down. the entire government of syria there's a lot of weapons out there in the world and there are a lot of suppliers for the rebels road groups at this point so i don't think it would be a great obstacle for them to to obtain a weapon so why would they want to do it they in order to win require what they require with the opposition required in libya that it was a nato intervention the u.s. is doing what it wants to do saying what it wants to say to try to mobilize public notices to justify a potential intervention. international tensions are running high as the pentagon moves naval forces closer to syria despite a bomb the being cautious over an intervention so what do those preparations for an attack usually mean well tell us what you think on our web site it's all t. dot com

how things play out here to discuss america's options when it comes to syria i'm joined by brian becker he's a national coordinator at the answer coalition he's here with me in d.c. . is a middle east analyst in new york and from miami it was most often the executive director for the syrian emergency task force gentlemen thank you so much for joining me let's start with you was the u.s. it is moving ships toward the shores of syria and readying cruise missiles plus the secretary of state john kerry is speaking out as well as british foreign minister william hague upping the rhetoric in this intervention so my question to you is is it western intervention in syria becoming a more realistic prospect. i think that way that the secretary of state spoke today and came out sort of saying unequivocally that the regime is the perpetrator behind the chemical weapons attack and in the way that he spoke about it i think that signifies that there will be some sort of military action or a military response by the united states and international community so i think now we're coming to a point where

watching to see how all of this plays out for more on syria's options i was joined earlier by brian becker he said national coordinator at the answer coalition here in d.c. offset foxy he's a middle east analyst he was in new york and from miami was mostafa the executive director for the syrian emergency task force and i started off by asking was if western intervention intervention in syria is becoming a more realistic prospect. i think the way that the secretary of state spoke today came out sort of saying unequivocally that the regime is the perpetrator behind the chemical weapons attack and in the way that he spoke about it i think that signifies that there will be some sort of military action or military response by the united states in the international community so i think now we're coming to a point where we will see something happen but what scale that that's another question is it a good idea. absolutely i think any time the regime and a government uses chemical weapons these are weapons that should be used by no one at all and if something like this is allowed to happen as it ha

get a read, though, on the overall consumer credit landscape here in the united states with ezra becker. he's vice president of research and consulting, transunion financial services business unit. ezra, how is credit in this country? i know you think it is good, but there is a lot of people who still think we're not there yet. >> actually, we're doing pretty well. our data show the consumer credit markets are healthy and well functioning. i think that you can see it best manifested in the three major product groups. so when we look at credit cards, credit card lenders are issuing more credit, but in fact delinquency as low as we have seen in 20 years. and when you combine that with some decreases in revolving balances, what we see is that consumers generally are using their cards in moderation and not overextending themselves. >> have we made it too hard to get credit in this country at this point? >> no i don't think so. i think that lenders generally are extending more credit, certainly, than they were last year and certainly more than the year before. so i think that there are some

and the point i was going to say about 30 years, in most becker i've worked with scientists, engineers and cops come in and speak in plain language. and so they may be experts in their field but they may not know how, what it is a day in the lab on the street, whatever, affects the larger policy, or how something might be elected outside of the lab. that's the context that you are looking for, because most of the time a reporter doesn't want to know that geewhiz science that's happening in the land. they want to know how this was going to affect things in the real world. so the other part of this, too, is subject matter experts, the government officials are frequently afraid to talk to the press but it's not because of the dark consequences of possibly getting in trouble, but they have heard reports and it seemed reports over the years of misquote. they took out of context, become a story wrong. or a perfectly well-balanced story comes out, but it wasn't a positive story. so that to them is a nightmare. will they put them a program. no, they did and why did they talk to that guy? he's
