mr. assad. >> well, barack obama really took a passive role, backseat and basically said, assad, putin, figuret you're going to do analysis and see if it is agreeable. barack obama foreign-policy wise is a very weak president and it makes life really easy for people like putin and assad. instead of looking at a strong and potentially for reagan as president where they have to be concerned, they're like a bra, and say, he is not serious. we can barkin around, and that is exactly what putin did. he dictated what the foreign policy should be and what we should do and blamed us for american exceptional as some. that isebody only does what they're facing a weak president. lou: audacious. putin so confident that he is turning over some space to another than senator john mccain. it ought to be a fierce op-ed piece, don't you think? >> it absolutely will, and i could not agree more. i think we're in a terrible situation where it is hard for anyone to make the case that president obama has any credibility. putin and assad have been able to expertly exploit the weaknesses, and they just pick up on anyth

. >> i think a lot of people would start buying into that even more should barack obama and mr.rouhani actually meet. do you think that is likely? >> that is that a question of the day, isn't it? if it does happen, i think it would be the most significant handshake of this century, at this point. but you are right, we have to wait and see, whether this is a tactical shift for iran to ward off further sanctions and economic pressure, or is this going to be a shift in how iran strategically deals with the west? >> there is still the israeli affect no doubt working on the white house to make sure these overtures are not picked up as far as their maintenance would like them to be -- as far as the iranians would like them to be. >> saudi arabia and israel are very cool on the idea of any kind of american-iranian detente . but this is a special moment for the united states. with the egyptian revolution going by the wayside and serious -- and syria in turmoil, iran has presented itself to the obama administration as an opportunity for an important foreign policy legacy, and they did no

mr. obama's biggest accomplishment. i expand on that. i believe barack obama's legacy will be positive on the terror hunting side. with his tough policy on drones he devastated al-qaeda and badly hurt toon -- the taliban leadership. the core left wing supporters generally oppose the high-tech attacks on the terrorists. the talking points believe that is mr. obama's strongest positive. now he is overall legacy. the economy is still soft over five years with working americans losing ground in salaries. not good. not likely to turn around because mr. obama's administration does not generally help business. on his watch, the national debt has risen an astounding $6 trillion. that's a scandal. there is no end in sight as democrats don't want to cut spending. the national debt is america's biggest problem. on the president's watch, americans believe china has overtaken the usa as the most powerful economy. iran continues to develop nukes, but putin is supplying materials to them. north korea is upping the program. no resolution on benghazi or palestine and egy

mr. speaker, the president of the united states, barack obama, is a man who opposes the action. no one could describe him as a president who wants to involve america in more wars in the middle east. he supports action in this case. when i spoke to president obama last weekend, i said we shared his view about the despicable nature about the use of chemical weapons and we must not stand aside. i also explained to him that because of the damage done to public confidence by iraq, we would have to follow a series of incremental steps to build have you looked at the consequences of what will happen with intervention and the affected will have on countries like yemen? >> i have taken a look at all of the impacts on the region. this is the next question that needs to be answered. the region has already been affected by the war in syria. jordan is coping with a massive influx of refugees. turkey has suffered terrorist attacks and shelling from across the border. that is why the arab league has been so clear in condemning the action and attributing it precisely to present a sigh and calli

again which will take the syrian conflict to an entirely new level and mrs rice also said that the reason u.s. president barack obama decided to pursue a limited strike is that the u.s. and other allies have exhausted a host of other measures but here's i think with the important question to ask if the obama administration is. rejecting the russian in syrian compromise proposal that's been tabled in the in the past twelve hours what is their plan for avoiding the use of force do they have a plan or are they just now insisting that this military strike that's been that the u.s. is ministration has been campaigning for will be carried out one way or another because so far they have not offered any alternative to avoid any military action which many countries many scholars and many experts believe can expand into something much bigger than what the obama administration calls a limited two day strike against certain targets in syria ok i'm going to put the input from new york city. also said that the use of chemical weapons directly threatens america's closest ally in the region israel the main danger though may not be

as a as mr barry was just saying perhaps perhaps the american president barack obama is flying back to washington now with chris bambery said with his tail between his legs broke obama when he made his speech his main address to the g. twenty today was a very very short address on the american president looked pale and very tired and perhaps exhausted and drained by what is ultimately a surging growth of opposition to any type of american strike against syria well if you can stay with us here on r t we continue to do our live coverage of the g. twenty two thousand and thirteen summit here in st petersburg. the host of venture capital will join us very soon hope you can stay with us. here back to the car just a bit later so the predictably and understandably a lot of focus on syria at the g. twenty of the last two days the latest from syria than government forces have battling. rebels who attacked a christian village earlier this week model is home to some of the world's oldest christian sanctuaries is one of the few places where out of may exhibit the language of christ is still spoken

whole issue of chemical weapons attack in syria before barack obama put the state hit the stage he was preceded by his russian counterpart vladimir putin mr putin saying that regarding the chemical attack it was not carried out by the assad government rather it was carried out by the syrian rebels in fact here is what the russian president had to say. just as. i've mentioned before that i view everything that happened with the so-called use of chemical weapons in syria as the publication by the rebels who count on help from abroad from those countries that originally supported them and that's the reason for this provocation i also want to remind you that the use of force against a sovereign state is acceptable only if it's done for self-defense and we know that syria hasn't attacked the us and only if the un security council approves such action as one of the participants of our discussions on the issue put it yesterday those who do otherwise put themselves above the law. well there we have a russian president there talking about who he thinks was behind the chemical attack in in syria also that one of the questions the russian president

gaping pauses and what he had to say mr obama saying that he did have a thirty minute talk with a lot of the putin that it was sincere and it was constructive barack obama also saying that when it comes to syria the world has a duty and an obligation to react to these so-called chemical weapons attacks that we did say that barack obama saying that i became president to scott was not to start them and also this just in here the g. twenty of the french president francois hollande he's now saying that france does have enough evidence to prove that the assad regime did use chemical weapons but bonds it that this why france will a major saber rattling he's been saying that only the united u.n. security council has the right to take up measures in such cases he also saying france will align that that he will decide what france's role in syria will be after the u.s. congress mates its vote now that if the u.n. mediator to syria is locked out he me he had lunch with russia's foreign minister today sort of laugh it off locked up or he coming out to say regarding syria no country can strike another sovereign nation without clearance from the united nations

mr. tenacious, wily and maddeningly successful than u.s. officials guessed during this high-stakes, 2 1/2-year-long showdown with barack obama. >> i had no doubt soon discover that the forces of change cannot be reversed and human dignity cannot be denied. >> assad will leave power. not a question of if, but when. >> we will not tolerate the use of chemical weapons against the syrian people or transfer to terrorists. the world is watching. we will hold you accountable. >> reporter: yet here assad still is taunting the american public in his interview this week with charlie rose of pbs. >> nobody expected it until september. you cannot expect, it is difficult for any one to tell you what is going to happen. it is an area where everything is on the brink of explosion. you have to expect everything. >> reporter: president obama tonight hardly mentioned his adversary. instead he tried to explain why he believes military action is necessary but then he hit the pause button again embracing a new russian proposal to bring assad's chemical weapons under international control. >> this initiative has potential to remove the threat of chemical weapons wi
