had we were looking at a unilateral coalition of the willing united states britain and france leading a unilateral strike and now that faction has been pushed into the international route via the un and this is steered mainly by russia leading this diplomatic effort which is now a multilateral diplomatic effort but what we have is this is to the advantage of syria because syria now can play its hand in other words in order to disarm the chemical weapons stocks and do the sufficiently in a timely manner syria can demand for instance that the united states and the cia stop sending arms to the rebel groups who might be attacking international or u.n. or. operatives and workers on the ground in syria trying to get rid of these chemical weapons stocks and that's going to be an argument that's going to be coming very soon i believe let's talk about this resolution security council resolutions we voted on we think about six hours is so no mention of the use of force in that course america much the west wanted that included they've taken a box that they seem to have backtracked why. well there's two or two reasons one is the whole p

say that's an indication that the supreme leader behind the scenes had gathered the factions and told them to say unitedthat this is your campaign, and do what you can, and we're going to back you. so hard-line factions remaining silent. wolf, what's critical to point out is that despied the opt such, iran's core issues when it comes to the nuclear program have remained the same. first and foremost, they are not going to stop what they call a peaceful nuclear program. they're not going to stop uranium enrichment. there's speculation they may suspend uranium enrichment at 70% or open up some of their militaries to perhaps broader inspections, but they have made it clear in these negotiations, whatever happens, they don't want to be viewed as appeasing washington or backing down to demands. whatever they do, they want something substantial in return. they want to be treated as equals. they want their nuclear program to be recognized, maybe most importantly for iranians, they want some of those tough economic sanctions to be eased. >> reza sayah, thanks very much. >>> up next in our "the situation room" sp

united. it didn't have this faction that was really breaking off from the leadership.bviously democrats have more of incentive not to do this to government. ultimately, they believe in government. they want it to function. there's part of the republican party happy shutting it down, even the moderates, because it doesn't go against a core belief in what's better. >> the one part of the republican party that hadn't been completely opposite to what the president is saying is chris christie, gave the president a big hug during hurricane sandy, and he's been vocal we shouldn't shut down. if i'm chris christie, where do i go in a party that at this moment in order to win a primary i have to be liz cheney or mike enzi? how would i approach what a 2016 run in this party looks like? >> effective governing, whether you're governor or some other type of lawmaker, not always but often prevails in an election. that's one way he can get at that. this isn't the first time you've seen him sort of challenge the republican party in washington with sandy, is perfect example, because you

not mere conjecture maybe one faction saw this as an opportunity we did have the red line the so-called red line and so we had announced to the world that if this happens united states with all of its military power is going to intervene on the side of the rebels so certainly there is a motive and perhaps an opportunity for a faction to exploit that opportunity and just briefly you warned of retaliation retaliate or attacks if the u.s. would go ahead with military action what sort of threats are you talking about that . well chelmer is johnson wrote a book a fantastic book blowback way back in one thousand nine hundred eight or so talking about the threat that you know unlimited intervention in other nations affairs might trigger blowback retaliation and in fact you know as a guantanamo defense attorney. i represented a couple clients and one of whom had created a video. pointing out that attacks by al qaeda were in fact retaliation for what they saw as hostile acts by united states toward people in the mideast i think it's incredible to believe that other people would not consider retaliation against the united states when united states has made no secret th

united states. none of us want that. >> previous promises to aid the rebels have gone nowhere. in june, the cia armed some factions, but they are waiting because the obama administration does not want to tip the favor for fear the outcome may be worse. president bashar al assad calling the situation a powder keg putting the entire region at risk of war and retaliating against france and the report to threaten assad to move rockets into residential areas. china and russia are urging not to strike. through it all, another milestone. 2 million people have now fled the country. some 5 million are estimated to be displaced within syria's borders. >>> turning now to domestic news. another government program has been uncovered that could be bigger than the nsa spy program. this time on the dea and the hemisphere project. according to reports, the federal government is using subpoenas to at&t's database and paying the phone company to place the employees in drug fighting units. a justice department spokesman said the department has requested phone numbers with subpoenas which are not issued by a grand jury or judge, but b

now we--the united states would be getting involved in someone else's very nasty civil war that is overlaid by a proxy war that includes different factionsf foreign fighters, and different groups of countries in the region pitted against each other. a limited strike of the nature that the obama administration is considering would make the united states a party to those multiple conflicts going on in syria at one time. >> what is the core national interest? i have heard it mentioned. what is the core national interest, everyone i've spoken to who is concerned about this, why would we get involved? >> well, there is an important principle involved here. the syrian regime did use chemical weapons against its own people. that is an egregious violation of international norms. but when you dig down into the details of syria and consider that against what the administration is considering, it strikes me that the disadvantages of undertaking that kind of military operation far youth weighs the possible benefits. >> wouldn't have been the case a year ago when you advocated some kind of an action? >> well, more than a year or so ago there might ha

united states. >> reporter: syrian president bashar assad told "cbs this morning" cohost charlie rose that if the u.s. attacks, there could be retaliation. >> should expect everything, not necessarily through the government. we have different parties, different factions. >> reporter: president obama says he doesn't take that as a credible threat because syria doesn't have the capacity to carry out a significant attack. >> some of his allies like iran has the capacity to engage in asymmetrical strikes against us. our intelligence is clear they would not try to escalate a war with us. >> reporter: president obama still wants congress to authorize the use of force but the public is not with him. a new cbs news-"new york times" poll shows 61% of americans oppose the idea of military strikes. only 30% are in favor. in the newsroom, christin ayers, kpix 5. >> the president will make his case to the nation in a televised address tonight. kpix 5 will broadcast the speech live starting at 6:00. >>> negotiations between bart and its two largest unions scheduled to continue today and thursday in oakland. talks resumed yesterday. today is the halfway point of that 60-day cooling-off period that governor brown ordered to avert a strike. the transit system shut do

factions within the parliament who are strongly opposed to intervention. you have the conservatives, the former president sarkozy very wary of entering into a military action without unitedtions' backing. and then according to this research, 68% of the french population are firmly against intervention. so if anything, president hollande is biding his time on it, at the same time trying to send an important clear message to bashar al-assad that something will be done, and should be done. >> we'll see what happens, and what the outcomes are from france later, thank you forgoi r joining us. >>> a blast in somalia in an area popular with government workers and near the presidential palace, and it's not the first time it has been targeted. >>> seven taliban prisoners have been released in pakistan. one of them a senior commander, all aimed at providing a store of peace process. well, let's join kamal in the southern port city of karachi. let's see who he really is. >> just a correction. he is the younger brother of senior taliban commanders, who was killed in may 2007, and now he was arrested along the pakistan years ago. they released in total seven, and that would bring 233

united as one body area they pooled their resources -- body. they pooled their resources. there was a 13th unofficial , andr, which is al-shabaab that was the only factionin the court union that had any presence of foreign fighters, and they were the least powerful with the least credibility and least visibility. warlords expelled the and imposed a bootable -- brutal but effective form of government, with all sorts of vicious, violent punishments against people that violated with a perceived to be the tenets of islamic sharia law, but most everyone except bush- era officials would agree that it was the only moment from the falling of the regime in the early-1990's to 2006 at there was anything vaguely -- the u.s. partners with ethiopia which launches and overthrow of somalia. they call them a ball, bush was batting of yarn and dick cheney here's islamic and said we have to overthrow them. there were extremists, but most of them were not. most of the most -- more closely represent the taliban government, which is a brutal form of government, but these are not people that wanted to attack the united states. there was no u.s. interests except for knee-jerk

united states know exactly the main goal of the russian administration. they are trying to find a solution for the regime in damascus. >> the general wants some support from the other rebel factions. who dan he work with? >> there is a moderate -- there are moderate rebels that one can work with. we are seeing this dynamic play out on the ground. assad that ha attempted to present himself as the only alternative. many have forgotten that al-qaeda's presence in syria is not a product of the syrian revolution, but it's been a result of a long-standing policy by the assad regime to have it jihad defighters to leverage them against the west. we are finding that the free syrian army is at the forefront of pushing back against al-qaeda's attempts to expand influence throughout the country. if you do not empower the moderate opposition, usual left with a vacuum that al-qaeda will be able to expand. the assad regime is part of that problem. >> ken, do you agree, a final word here, that american policy should focus on helping the mod receipts? >> i think it has been focused on helping the mod receipts. it's important to understand that the potential deal with russia is not trying topple t

there is a moderate faction inside of israel that is sort of tired of the brinksmanship when it comes to some of these issues. >> that's true, although there's a unitedf iran. what i expect him to talk about publicly and privately is the arrest that the israelis made of an iranian spy caught taking photos of the u.s. embassy in tel aviv. that is a reminder that we continue to be in a difficult situation despite the olive branch. >> it is. i want to go back to the shutdown because that's going to dominate the day, jackie. the fact that it comes at the same time that basically the biggest part of the health care law begins and it begins tomorrow. i go back to the fact what do conservatives -- i think there are some conservatives that really thinks the government shuts down, health care stalls and it doesn't. >> it doesn't. there are some conservatives that believe everything changes tomorrow when health care starts being implemented. it actually becomes real so that's why they're fighting so hard. that's why they think they're going to slow this down but the facts are you're not. you keep hearing republicans in the senate say that. you hear some house

including a powerful faction linked to al-qaeda, rejected the western- backed syrian national coalition today. instead, in a statement, they called for all rebel fighters to unite under a clear islamic framework based on shariah law. meanwhile, u.n. inspectors returned to damascus. they'll continue their investigation into a series of alleged chemical weapons attacks earlier this year. the cost of mailing a letter could go up soon by three cents. in a bid to reduce a huge deficit, the u.s. postal service asked today to raise the price of a first-class stamp to 49 cents. it expects to lose $6 billion this year. the rate increase is subject to approval from the independent postal regulatory commission. in economic news, governor jerry brown signed a bill, raising california's minimum wage to $10 an hour-- the highest of any state. and on wall street, the dow jones industrial average lost 61 points to close at 15,273. the nasdaq fell seven points to close at 3,761. the america's cup yacht race ended today with an unprecedented comeback by the u.s. team. oracle team usa beat emirates team new zealand in the winner- take-all 19th race off san francisco. the american
