further action from the security council if the killing continues well let's get more on this from james rosen's washington bureau chief for the international news agency into press service and joining the state now some experts believe that what ever reforms are assad's regime is do western powers are also full of skepticism is it too little and too late now for change under a sad. oh sitting here in washington i think it's impossible for me to say i talking with syrian experts based in the united states i get the impression that there's a deep split in opinion about that number of people such as joshua landis at the university of oklahoma believes that. the assad regime is very tough in his words and could endure for quite some time and that eventually this will be this will become increasingly bloody but that there's no interest at this point in syria's compromise. and there's no sign that the military or his control over the military has has weakened it all or that the military itself is splitting apart. on the other hand there are others who claim and i think this is become conventional wis

james rosen at the pentagon for us right now, james, thank you. jenna: for more on this, we're joined by aaron miller, former adviser to six secretary of states, also author of the much too much promised land. aaron, you say that qaddafi is the least of our problems. why? >> it's the long term that's important. remember the last six months, i remember the breathless optimism and enthusiasm that many people evidenced, and yet, when you look at the situation, yemen, inconclusive, syria, assad still in power, bahrain, halif is still in power, even in tunisia, these are long movies, they're messy, and they're going to require an enormous amount of will and leadership on the part of the people who live in these countries. in libya, you've got a situation unlike any of the others, where for the first time, you actually will have a fundamental change in the political structure. qaddafi left for resilient institution, the political structure of this country, is ridden with tribal, political, geographic and ethnic divisions, is going to present a huge prob

james rosen, thanks. martha: james raises a number of important questions in all of this. what with ce expect from the libyan opposition groups that are likely trying to coalesce and try to figure out how to take power? k.t. mcfarland, national security analyst on the story, she has been all through the weekend of course for us and we thank you for that valuable input. here we are monday morning and you say the next 48 hours are extremely crucial in all of this. why is that? >> act one, topple the dictator, okay? we seem to have done that. act two, can the rebels get it together, watch and see what they do, can they establish security in the next 48 hours, 72 hours, because if they can't, looting starts. it's one thing to have a revolution. it's another thing to turn to the boring task of governing. are they going to spend their time score set ring -- score settling? for 40 years, qaddafi has murdered friends and families. is all the energy going to be taken up killing the bad guys were making sure the water runs, streets are safe, protect the institutions, get the electri

james rosen takes a look at it live from washington for us. james?> reporter: jon, good afternoon. let's begin with the bottom line which is that nothing that's happened here in the nation's capital over the past 72 hours has done anything to alter our country's medium or long-term fiscal trajectory. and the credit ratings agencies continue to watch uncle sam with a wary eye. this is n large measure, because those negotiating the last minute debt ceiling deal across both parties at the white house and capitol hill tacitly eye greed to leave the major pieces of budget reform alone now including social security and medicaid and the estimated $1 trillion a year that our tax code contains in tax breaks of various kinds. in all, this deal aims to cut about two and a half trillion from deficits over the next ten years, but we will be borrowing another ten trillion or so over that time. a report released on july 14th by standard & poor's, the credit ratings agency, stated and i quote: we expect the country's debt trajectory to continue increasing in the med

chief washington correspondent james rosen has been obviously watching all of this as well and join usonversation about the joint committee, james. >> that's correct, bret and governor huckabee. this is going to be a bipartisan, but also by came cameraal committee and will come from the house and the senate and clearly not the gang of six limited just to the senate. a number of interesting aspects from what we've just heard in the last ten to 12 minutes from both president obama and the congressional leaders, the leaders of the senate, senators mcconnell and reid. for example, from the president, he talked about this being a down payment on the deficit reduction we need. and he talked about how everything will be on the table, including modest adjustments to medicare, when this committee meets. it is worth remembering that the obama administration in the form of treasury secretary timothy geithner at first sought a clean up or down vote on extending the debt ceiling and did not want that question tied to the question of cutting a deficit spending. and it was also interesting to hear se

james rosen is live at the state department. >> reporter: senior obama administration officials say theas shifted in syria and that saz's days in power ar bashar al-assad's days in power are numbered. the administration imposed its third round of sanctions on syrian individuals and businesses, backed by similar actions by european allies. new asse t-rbg restrikes and freezes on the oil and petroleum sector. it was prompted by the up tick of brutality and by their own realization that bashar al-assad's pledge to pull back military forces was a lie and empty promises. neither the united states or any allied coalition will be undertaking any libyan-style campaign to assist the beleaguered syrians. >> outside power can or should impose on this transition. it is up to the steer yan peop the syrian people to choose their own leaders. in a democratic system we will do our part to support their aspirations for a syria that is democratic, just and inclusive. and we will stand up for their universal rights and dignity. by pressuring the regime and bashar al-assad personally to get out of the way

james rosen of fox news at the state department put it best when he was pushing back on the administrationgypt you called for our ally to leave in a week. with syria, it's been months and months. what gives? it really pushed this. i don't think the administration had a good answer. >> gregg: there has never been an answer to that. look, do you think that assad will leave, if he does what does it mean for iran and hezbollah in lebanon? >> that is such a great question, this is part of so many people outside the government from the past administration has been pushing this administration, the obama administration to do something more in syria to bring down assad simply because of iran and hezbollah. this is a chance to show iran that their one big ally in the region is no longer going to be ai an ally. people of the syria are going to rise up and take over. it's taken the obama administration way too long to issue a statement and not have the president comment about why assad should go or she should leave immediately doesn't send a clear message. also hillary clinton followed it up with a qu

to choose their own leaders, reiterating the pressure is a direction of going, on al-assad and james rosen joins me with his reporting on this. how big an event, how much has changed this morning, james, in terms of the president's statement and what we heard from hillary clinton? >> reporter: martha, it is unlikely what we heard from the president and the secretary of state will likely change much of the ground in syria. it is unlikely that a butcher and a designated state sponsor of terrorism like al-assad will be mightily swayed by the diplomatic language, july 11 the obama administration said he had lost legitimacy and today they say he must step down and the sanctions will likely not affect the pocketbook too much. syria is not one of the top importers of oil or petroleum products to the united states and, since march 24, the administration counting these two statements, has made 12 statements on the crisis. in terms -- there are two ironies i want to get to here, quickly and number one is, that syria was once the linchpin of the obama administration's hopes for progress in the middle

james rosen gets to coffer it from d.c. >> reporter: i'm just glad you're not describing me as the beast season of heated rhetoric, one republican presidential candidate is now raising eyebrows with provocative comments of his own. texas governor rick perry, the newest entrant into the gop primary field, had generally received high marks for his first 72 hours of retail politicking in the hawkeye state, appearing in cedar rapids, iowa, yesterday he was asking for his opinion on the federal reserve. the texas governor then invoked federal reserve chairman, ben bernanke. >> this guy prints more money, um, between now and the election, i don't know what y'all would do to him in iowa, but we'd, we would treat him pretty ugly down in texas. [laughter] i mean, printing more money to play politics at this particular time in american history is almost terriblous -- treasonous, in my opinion. >> reporter: talk of treason. well, campaign spokesman mark minor just sent out a statement in which he says the governor was expressing his frustration with the current economic situation and adds that most
