saxby chambliss says that's not leadership. >> in a time of crisis, presidents make tough, hard decisions and they lead. there is weakness here on the part of the president. it's not been a good week for him. he made this decision to come to congress. it's going to be a very, very tough debate. >> so l.z. granderson, syria is calling the president confused. is this leadership or weakness? >> it's leadership and this is why. we have learned over the last 12, 13 years of war that what you don't want to do is rush into war. i think it's a little bit sad to me a congressman would suggest going to congress and having a debate and thorough discussion before you go onto war as a sign of weakness. to me, he's playing politics. instead of looking at this as victory or defeat, we need to decide whether this is the right thing for the country to do. >> anna navarro? >> you know, in the midst of almost going to war the last thing i want to do is come on tv and call him hesitant and say he's vacillated, but it's hard not to say that. take a look at the international reaction here. whether it's from ou

i lived through those days, so did senator feinstein, so did senator chambliss, and they were bad. we were helpless. we couldn't even approach doing oversight because nobody would meet with us and nothing was shared with us. it's very different today. and i think it's because of the very solid groundwork which has been laid for fisa and other areas, 215, 702. there are some who want to outsource some of the work and the metadata to, for example, the telecommunications companies which service we use, and we gave them blanket immunity for so doing, which was very contentious back women make that decision but it was right because they were getting sued. no people involved, just a machinery. but i just think it would be the worst and we could do. i feel so strongly about this. we have a system which now works. amazingly to me, it's a system that works as well as it does after such a short period of time now that it is in place. i don't think, general alexander, there are any willful leaks within the fisa program itself. i think they are all elsewhere. maybe that indicates we work to do

chambliss: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from georgia. mr. chambliss: mr. president, i rise today to stus the house-passed continuing resolution now pending before the senate? once again the senate is considering a last-minute continuing resolution rather than regular order appropriation bills. handling the annual appropriation bills process in this way is a bad deal for the american people and it's a deal that we have gone through for the last four years now without passing appropriation bills and having to deal with a continuing resolution or an omnibus, which is simply a terrible way to run this government. congress should be passing appropriation bills in regular order instead of waiting until the 11th hour. and i know the chairman of the appropriations bill and the ranking member are very much in favor of doing that and are ready to come to the floor to do that, but yet once again we're seeing the majority leader not let them come to the floor with those bills. this only creates uncertainty in the financial market and hampers america's economic recover
