her handle is @madeleine albright. she's got quite a few followers. >>> new speed cameras are going up in the district. >>> a cool start for the first week of fall. is is there a chance for a warm up? >>> new developments in the tea party scandal at the irs. scott macfarlane has the lowdown from the live desk. >> details still coming in. we learned lois learner retireed from the internal revenue service. it's the area that came in for improperly targeting tea party groups. less than two weeks later, she refused to answer questions. learner was placed on paid leave in pay. today, she announced her retirement from the irs. at the live desk, i'm scott macfarlane. >>> getting caught by a traffic camera in the district no longer means blowing through a red light or driving too fast. adam tuss tells us about the new cams that are catching more than speeders. >> reporter: we have been telling you about the automated enforcement cameras going up all over the district. here is one at connecticut and 36th and northwest. you know

he could have called madeleine albright. he could have called every person who's been in that position and said what would you do? this is what's happening in syria and every one of them would have given him some advice. >> give us our best chance of what was going on inside his heads when he made the decision, made the bold statement that he would even confer attacking without -- consider attacking without congressional approval. >> it's amazing how we politics sometimes actually assume that we know better. and we will proceed to utter words and i am absolutely guilty of having done that all my life. i would guess that the republicans now know that if they take the high road, they can literally occupy the territory and leave obama scrambling. just as they did this past. >> what about democrats? >> democrats are the same way. even harry reid -- is nonexistent by the way. only nancy really stepped up and boldly said i'm with the president. the others all had -- >> where does that take us? was -- >> the politics aside too. the

we'll ask someone that used to have kerry's job, madeleine albright in a cnn exclude active. the national league, the president couldn't get members of his own party on board with striking syria. now that he has spoken, are they happy now, we' ask one of them. senator tom udall joins us and politics, anthony weiner keeps it classy after giving the finger to the press after new york voters gave him the same metaphorically speaking. >> welcome to the lead. we'll begin with the world lead. 12 years ago today the nation stared at division tw i guesses and the diswleef of the aftermath of the worst terrorist attack to ever hit american soil and we have been at war ever since. 12 days ago president obama stated without any ambiguity he decided the u.s. should join yet another middle eastern conflict. that's not happening, at least not yet. after he stated and restated why the u.s. would be justified in attacking the regime, president obama announced he is putting those plans on hold and giving diplomacy one last chance and the members of the united nations security council are meet

you asked madeleine albright if there was a possibility that what replacedly assad is worse than assad, she said no. a lot of strategists in the u.s. government disagree with that. they think it is possible if you topple assad you don't have control who takes over for him and it could be a worse situation for the united states' strategic interests. >> schieffer: peggy, what does this agreement that the secretary of state and russian foreign minister come up with, how does that impact all of this? do you think this is a good thing? >> well, i gotta tell you, i think your question about how to help is the essential one. i think the most interesting thing that has happened in the past few weeks is that the american people looked at this potential action, looked to some degree at what was going on in syria, and thought assad is bad. and the people who are up against him seem bad. and the president is saying we're going to do a strike. we're not going to knock over the bad guy, and we are not going to hurt or help too much the other bad guys. it all seemed like a big-- a big confusion, the

then secretary of state madeleine albright approved the position, but 14 years later it's never been implemented. it's been handled by the office of undersecretary for management. kennedy approved the post in benghazi despite serious security concerns. >> because of the importance of benghazi and the development of the new libya, we had to have a forward operating loekdz there and we had to have visits there by ambassador stevens. >> reporter: the latest report describes kennedy's office as too large and complex and appears to be the potential root cause for the confusion at the headquarter as level. by defining benghazi as a temporary facility, the state department avoided security standards, which exposed personnel to an unacceptable level of risk. this new internal report concludes that benghazi has demonstrated yet again the vulnerability of u.s. facilities around the world. josh bernstein, al jazeera, washington. >> for more information on al jazeera's exclusive investigation of the embassy attacks in benghazi, go to our website, aljazeera.com. >>> america's auto industry reboun

united states doesn't continue these sanctions add more sanctions and as we saw in iraq when madeleine albright former ambassador to the united states was asked a direct question was the death of five hundred thousand iraqi children worth it she said yes and this administration is carrying on in that tradition of they don't care how it affects the average iranian person they only care what political advantages they can get out of it in washington so why is it is this just a nurse in the white know it i mean it's interesting because all my adult life you know when i was living in the united states is that iran is simply the enemy and it just you know mass media the networks just assume that ok without knowing much about iran i mean it what it can and ran do to get someone's attention beyond just capitulating which it won't i really do. at there is no and as i'm sure i can do i mean mr rowhani is doing a fine job of presenting iran's position and even his charm offensive as they call it is offensive to the hardliners to the neo cons in washington they they they've they've put certain labels on hi

the last time there was a meeting like this was in 1998, madeleine albright under bill clinton. a much lower delegation from the iranian side. if they meet, it will be a chance meeting, probably no more than a handshake. there may or may not be a camera there. >> john, thank you very much. while president obama is dealing with major international issues, there is still that potential government shutdown looming large in washington. we are joined from the nation's capitol. libby, they say when you're in trouble overhome, go over seas or in this case new york and the united nations, but there is that issue of a government shutdown. what are you hearing over the federal budget agreement by the end of the month you? >> it is looming large here. as we know, republicans in the house have said in order to keep funding the government into october and into the future, they want to defund the federal health care allow, known of course as obamacare. the drama has shifted over to the senate. today's not going to be a heavy legislative day, del. the clock is ticking on the legislative proces

this is something that madeleine albright talks about. in some ways we have added to that here. so i would hope that we would see that we have a set of actions we can take to give us the types of things that we are more aware of. i think this is a lesson of the use of this kind of power. in the 21st century in a globalized world economy, it is often the nonstate actors that have power and influence. we boom on the fact that the u.s. is not good at street craft as the arab spring has emerged. what we learn? we learned you can try to leverage the power and influence for positive agenda is. those that are in line with u.s. interests. whether it is a human rights agenda or something else, there are actors have their that are in line with our interest. and i think the trick there in the 21st century is figuring out how you're actually leverage that power. and how do you create strategic suasion to complement financial suasion so that people start to see that our community is an asset and a resource. but the fact that we have americans who are helping to run this malay traditional ve

joan, former secretary of state madeleine albright has just released a letter. says assad has gamble he can get away with slaughtering his own people. that is a gamble he cannot be allowed to win. that is the president's argument. >> that's right. >> can he win that discussion in congress. >> i think it's going to be a very, very tough sell for him. martin, i'm concerned about it. i at this point, i'm not convinced about the need for military action, and i'm very concerned about the role of secretary of state john kerry who i don't think has been helping the president make this case. i think he's been kind of all over the map. no one has been able to describe exactly how you have some kind of strike that degrades assad's capacitors deliver chemical weapons. john kerry has sounded awfully and gin with our need to help the rebels to believe they are not the bad guys, that there are lots of moderate -- >> he said about 15 to 25% are probably extreme. the vast majority are good upright people who want a secure safe syria. >> the influence of the people the who are t

the arb did not interview at madeleine albright, but it did interview you because you were an assistantecretary at the time. it seems that we stopped at the assistant secretary level when people needed to be held for responsible accounting of what they did or did not do. i ask the secretary of state very straightforward question and she said the information did not come to her attention based on security needs. is that true? did you know about any of the requests to any needs, whether it's cables, conversations, about the request for this and others of the embassy for more security? were you unaware of it? >> congressman, except for one request which i will talk about in a second, all of the requests on behalf of of the temporary mission facility was mad. they asked for funding for concrete jersey barriers to increase the printer. they asked for arms to make sure that cars do not crash through the gate and increased compound waiting. >> who knew about this? that's my only question. but who knew about it? >> these requests, since they were all met, i believe i was generally aware -- >> s
