host: sam dagher joining us this morning. thank you for your update. we have been following into your comments. the washington post reports the doctors without borders group and their receiving all these people coming in. three hospitals were saying about 3600 patients -- the group itself was not able to confirm that this was an attack. they came up short of describing it as an attack. guest: as they pointed out, these are hospitals that they work with. they were going on the information they were getting from the hospitals. i think this sort of thing obviously is more evidence that something happened. that is the point of the un team there and ban ki-moon sending in his representative, to reinforce with the syrian government. if you have nothing to hide, what better than to completely open up the area? apparently, the opposition forces have given the obama administration assurances that any un team coming into the area, which is a disputed area with pockets of rebel held territory, that any un representatives would be safe. i think there is an effort.
