. >>> for more on this, let's bring in democratic senator from wisconsin, tammy baldwin.coming in. >> thank you. >> of course. i want to get your take. when you woke up this morning and you read this op-ed what do you think of president putin's advice to the u.s.? >> well, i agree with some of your commentators that this is really a lot of bluster, but that said, we know and we're clear eyed about who putin is and that russia is an ally of the assad regime. what's really important in all of this and that we can't lose sight of is that in the past few days a new path developed that we have to in a determined fashion walk down, and that path does not involve the use of unilateral military force against syria that's long been engaged in civil war. it doesn't involve us in that war. and that path is very important because it engages the international community. i've said all along what assad did is a global atrocity but a global atrocity demands a global response. we've got to make our international institutions like the u.n., like the security council work. we know russia is

. >> next, from the senate floor, tammy baldwin of wisconsin lays out her reasons for opposing a u.s. strike against syria. this is about five minutes. >> madam president, i have come to the floor to stand up and speak to the important debate we are having about the most sobering issue i face as a senator and as an american. the issue of military action by the united states. let me start by saying that the assad regime's use of chemical weapons against the syrian people is morally reprehensible. a serious violation of long- standing international law. the various treaties and conventions addressing these issues have been ratified by most of the world's nations. there is reason why most of the entire world has gathered under the chemical weapons convention to ban these weapons. weaponscause chemical are truly barbaric in nature. they are a global threat and they therefore require a global response. the president has made the right congressional authorization for any potential military action in syria. the gravity of these issues is significant and deserves a full debate. should beobama

one more here from ed o'keefe of "the washington post" on capitol hill, senator baldwin, tammy wald wynn, quote: there is an opportunity not to vote today while we see the news of the last 24 hours playing themselves out. we're going to continue talking your time up to the time the senate comes in or maybe even beyond that and hoping to hear from some senate republicans as well. lisa in indianapolis, just the phone numbers are on your screen, but democrats, 202-585-3885. republicans, 202-558-3886. independents and others, 202-5 202-585-3887. indianapolis on republican line, sorry about that. >> caller: hi. i was an officer with the military. i had gone to chemical school, so i truly understand the importance of getting those weapons out of syria. i think that, you know, our government is just misguided in saying our goal is just to punish them and make it so they won't employ them again. i think the whole message that they should have been saying all along is we're going to get those weapons away from you. we don't want them to fall into the hands of al-qaeda. we don't want them to be so
