and that the military is awaiting assad's order to possibly use those chemical weapons against the syrian people. we can confirm that a senior u.sal says that the saran gas is mixed and ready to use. they have 60 days to use it until it expires or it needs to be destroyed. so there is a great deal of concern tonight in the pentagon about what the assad regime plans to do with that saran gas now that those weapons have been in essence prepared and we can also report that there appear to be some movement in the region, preparations in the event that were to decide that he needed to act and to intervene because as you know president obama has said that it would be fine if president assad used those chemical weapons against his own people. >> harris: all right. i want to stay with that for just a moment. secretary of state hillary clinton has talked about a red line. this would, indeed, be crossing it. i'm wondering though what would it take for nato and our forces to get involved at this point the way they said they would with the patriot missiles? so on and so forth. what does it take? we he have to use those weapons? is it weapon

iraq's saddam used it in 1988. u.s. officials stress tonight that as of now these weapons remain in the depots have not been loaded on to any planes, and that president assad has not given any orders to use them. but officials here concede if they does there is very little the outside world can do to stop it. >> well, there you have it, this complicates the chaos in the world, making for another difficult situation in the u.s. and others, our chief foreign affairs correspondent, andrea mitchell, is in washington. here we go again, the american public not anxious to hear about any u.s. military involvement anywhere else on the planet, using terms like weapons of mass destruction, chemical weapons, what do we do? now you have the criminal weapons going back over a decade, but the stock pile explains why the president and hillary clinton warned bashar al-assad forcefully this week not to use the weapons. a warning that secretary clinton repeated at nato again today. >> our concerns that are increasingly desperate assad regi

u.s. officials said intelligence agencies have detected that assad's government has been preparing its chemical weapons stockpiles will possible use the obama administration's message to syria the u.s. is ready to act if you make the tragic mistake of using these weapons there will be consequences and you will be held accountable there will be consequences. there will be consequences we have sent a an unmistakable message that this would cross a red line the media quickly picked up on the alarming news of the syrian government's alleged plans citing secret intelligence for fox news confirms that syrian troops now have the deadly nerve agent sarin gas weaponized and at the ready the syrian government flatly denied the possibility saying it would not use such weapons against its people. we would not commit suicide we fear there's a conspiracy to provide a pretext for any subsequent interventions in syria by these countries they're doing creasing pressure on syria. the syrian government sure knows that if they use chemical weapons it would give nato and some of their arab neighbors who are itching to intervene in syria the green ligh

it was the same playbook that had been used previously in the u.s.with some of the same lobbyists and advisers that were running the show. i do not think that is unrelated to what we have seen regarding policy in canada under this administration. >> you mentioned hoping to hold the line at 50 parts per million. given the long life of co2 in the atmosphere, how many billion metric tons are we going to have to reduce to get it down to hold that line? >> our award be here today, james hansen, has made an argument for that being too high. even if we were to bring co2 back to 50 ppm, that would barely be enough necessary to prevent long-term changes, even if we were to sustain at that level. of course, we are now well above 50. we are now at 90. it may not be a magic number. it is the extent of the risk and how much risk we want to subject ourselves to. think of it as a freeway. you would like to get off at the soonest exit ramp you can, but if you miss the first exit ramp, you still want to take the next one. it does not mean you stay on the freeway unti

for them to do so but with the fear and the hype building up over the use of chemical weapons against civilians in syria it seems the u.s. might be preparing grounds to jump the gun on this one the jumping the gun scenario is not new for the us almost ten years ago the bush administration confidently presented false evidence to invade iraq america's cited bogus intelligence on saddam hussein's chemical weapons that never existed the invasion triggered a civil war that killed more than one hundred thousand innocent iraqis and years later all washington had to say about this was the president thought it was correct congress thought it was worth of course i regret that it turned out a lot of it was wrong in the run up to the iraq invasion the us media was instrumental in selling the case to the public the congress never had any proof ever present ever of weapons of mass destruction all came from tony blair to the bush and congress who writes now that the us has drawn a red line on syria it has made it clear it's ready to take action but how i'm not going to telegraph in any specifics what we would do in the event of. credi
