"new york times" columnist nick christoph and political reporter molly ball. molly, what are you making of these late breaking developments? >> this is a situation that's very fluid. it's moving very fast. i don't think anyone could have predicted. at the beginning of this whole saga, the russians were the villains. they were the ones preventing the international community in america's view from going forward and taking action against syria. now the russians are the ones actually facilitating a dialogue and offering a potential out. i think you do have the administration behind the scenes breathing a sigh of relief. but they're still being very, very cautious because it's very clear nothing is yet settled. >> i think the back story on this is critical as well, nick, because you have john kerry, the secretary of state, making what seem to be kind of an off-handed, not serious comment, that suddenly over the course of hours gained some credibility in congress, with the white house, with the president, and now we have a new proposal being worked on. a new resolut

. >> nick christoph wrote about this today ski want to read a bit about his column. the right wing echo chamber breeds extremism, intimidates republican moderates and misleads people into thinking that their world view is broadly shared. that's the information bubble that tugs the entire republican party into the right into kcrew aiding don quixote. >> all of a sudden it ree energizes the tea party? >> these folks have to face primary challenges and there's a danger that they lose their seat in the house or the senate or something like that and then we see the impact that it has on the operations of the federal government so there is a real world impact, but ultimately, we've seen, you know, almost forever the american people do not favor extremists on the right or the left. i mean, ultimately it's not a winning strategy, and i, you know, it seems to be the gop is having a tough time understanding this. >> let me bring you into the conversation, congresswoman debbie wasserman-schultz. >> thanks, chris. >> i got a lot of emails from conservative groups say and one was

nick christoph of the new york sometimes summed it up in a tweet on saturday. now members of congress will have to consult maps and figure out where syria is. and politico also reported that half of americans can't find syria on a map that may be so, and they said the same thing about vietnam in the '60s. but these days, thanks to the internet, it's not hard to find out. take a look at the wikipedia page since the beginning of the month. it has spiked significantly. people are trying to learn. you could see the looming prospect of war concentrates the mind, to rip off a sam johnson quote. >>> there is now a game to test your geographic mettle. it's called damascus. and it challenges you to pinpoint it on a blank map of the world. over 100,000 people have played with varying degrees of success and some were as far off as italy and china. but many were within the ballpark. syria is on the mediterranean and shares a border with five other middle eastern countries -- turkey, iraq, jordan, lebanon, and israel. >>> up next, the russians are coming, the russians are c

. >> julian, nick christoph wrote this op ed this morning, "pulling the curtain back on syria" in "theead a portion of it. he writes, "when history looks back on this moment, will it view those who opposed intervening as champions of peace? or when the textbooks count the dead children, will our descendants puzzle that we took pride at retreating in passivity during this slaughter?" listen, most agree that chemical weapons were used there, and we've heard from members of congress who all say that they deplore what they've seen, but they've all asked for irrefutable evidence. doesn't it come down to just proving beyond not just a reasonable doubt, but proving 100% to these members that it was the syrian regime that used them? >> well, i think obama actually needs to do two things. one is to make the case and provide the evidence that this is a result of the assad regime, but he also needs to lay out some principles. if we are going to do this, will we act, again, with other kinds of humanitarian tragedies that take place all the time, many of which the obama administration and other adm

we talk to the un veteran and its former humanitarian coordinator for iraq hans christopher graf on spa nick who explained why russia's findings are largely being ignored by the international community you can ask that question on the range of other. reports that have been received which not convenient for those who are determined to carry out an attack but we cannot avoid looking into this and the media have. an obligation also to shed light on this when there are rumors that saudis and qataris have supplied chemicals is that true i don't know that the israelis were involved in this let there be a broad based. presentation what i would say about this is that the stalemate that prevails in the u.n. security council i say this because i am a person who has thirty two years worked in that organization that stalemate has been created by the insistence of the p three france britain and the united states that the only ansara to a crime whose origin we don't even know yet must be military action. well stay with us here in our t.v.'s after this break we'll find out about the record labels preparing

christopher dicky, correspondent nick paton walsh, and major general james spider marks. fran, what do you make of this report? >> we saw the language change. last week, the president talked about a limited strike that sounded like standoff missiles from a ship in the mediterranean. then secretary kerry talked about degrading the assad regime that could tip the balance of power. when you hear things like that, if you saw the military plane i think you would feel better. so you have to wonder are they explaining it in such a limited way to gain political support, including those on the left and not really talking about this may be a more involved military operation. >> if you say feel better, that means for those that support the strike. >> that's right. but the president's political allies in congress, those tend to be in the middle and the left, might not want to hear that this may involve air assets and air cruise, and might want to hear it described in a more limited way. you have to wonder if it's being described in a way that politically suits the president to gain s
