mortimer zuckerman? >> no, i don't think he should. i don't think he should have taken it to the congress either. this is a presidential decision. it's a matter of leadership by this president on an issue that deals with our national security and what's happening in syria as far as i'm concerned is also something that's not nearly as important as what's happening in iran where the real issue is going to happen because iran is a country developing nuclear weapons and threatens us in the most serious ways. so i think u.n. would just compound the problem of going to the wrong places for the support for what the united states should and should be doing. >> eleanor? >> first of all, i wouldn't assume he's going to get authorization from the congress. it's a very heavy lift. you have a huge majority of republicans opposed on a variety of reasons including the fact that they don't like this president. you have a lot of democrats who were elected on anti-war platforms who are not eager to vote for intervention. so this is far from a done deal,
