forces in afghanistan anthony and national security and foreign affairs expert walid phares. for joining us. appreciate it. >> thank you. heather: i will begin with you general, what do you think in terms of what we heard nikki haley say there and we had the uk come into this and had france assist us, how important was that? >> well, i think it's hugely important, heather, the diplomatic arm, that's nikki haley, the u.s. ambassador of the united nations and she's working the diplomacy for us. she brought in the uk, she brought in france and so as we jointly attack syria to hold onto the red line as she said, the red line means something to this president, we need to do this because our national security strategy calls for us to have a rule's base international law based on rule of law and not allow for the proliferation for make of weapons and we are going to continue to stay in syria and interestingly, we've got now, you know, two missions there, we have troops on the ground and she said we are not leaving until the chemical weapons are gone and until iran is checked and tha

walid phares, we're sort of breaking this down as we get it. there has been a string of incidents that we've seen. i want to get your reaction, we're still getting a lot of details as they come in. >> absolutely. well, let me begin with what was mentioned already by leland, which is the most important information we have that was released by the german police, the driver killed himself according to the report that we see now on the wires. that's important, it moves the incident from just an accident to the possibility of more than an accident, it's an incident, and if there was intention, we are already in the realm of a possible act of terrorism although we cannot confirm this, we're going to have the german authorities do so. in this frame work, if this is the case, obviously, using vehicles, vans, cars, and other types to create victims who kill people in europe for the past two years, of course, there's a trend and that's what i think the intelligence community is now focusing on, if indeed, that the fact that the driver killed himself is v

walid phares. we're following this closely. the president independent -- intimating a few minutes ago, some decision would be made. whether it would involve military action as it was a year ago, no way of telling but we're keeping an eye on it. the dow up 335 points. we'll have more after this. >> mark zuckerberg foes to the hill this week to testify. >> yes. >> does the administration feel that facebook should be regulated. >> will he wear a suit and tie and clean white shirt? that is my biggest question. >> do you think facebook -- >> will he behave like an adult as major corporate leader or give me this phony baloney hoodies and dungarees. what is that? >> you don't think much of mark zuckerberg i think? >> i think i could help him clean up his act. neil: all right. so larry kudlow sounding like just about every guy around our age about mark zuckerberg and hoodie thing and everything else, that he has to clean up his act. zuckerberg is on capitol hill now as we speak trying to go through the motions getting ready for two day

walid was going in laying out part of the problem that exists. clearly the obama administration fame would in its attempt to deal with the syrian situation. they did have a strategy and it did not work. they were unable to identify an organization or subsets of the resistance to work with. and turned out most of them were bad actors and so yes, that was a serious problem and a failure of the obama administration. we don't need another failure here. it is it pretty clear going forward we'll have to deal with assad sometime in the future. how can we do that? >> all right. thank you. >> thank you very much and have a good evening. >> we appreciate your time. >>> this is a fox news alert. >> congressional leaders backing the president for his decision to launch air strikes against syria for its purported chemical weapons attack on civilians in the town of douma. house speaker paul ryan praising the president's decisive action adding we are united in our resolve. >> chuck schumer calling the air strike appropriate but adding the u.s. has to be careful

walid phares.ow do we verify whether this guy who is a murderous thug, and he doesn't keep his word. you can't expect a person who murders his own family to keep his word. how do you verify it's getting rid of the nukes? >> it will be difficult and complex. north korea has slipped towards a different direction, but it does not mean kim jong-un has let go of all the cards. my measurement will be not just hat the war has ceased. not just these great pictures of the meeting of the two leaders. maybe the south leadership will visit the north soon. but when citizens from north korea will be able to visit south korea. remember what happened in east and west germany. it was that flow that created the change and the collapse of east germany. david: when you see the south korean leader grabbing his hand. i don't think i would want to touch his hand. he may sound paranoid, but with somebody like this it behoostles you to be pair made, no? >> of course. and who else other than the south koreans who have suffe

let's bring in national security and foreign affairs analyst walid phares.you he is taking aim at iran's supreme leader? >> it does not. what the american public is seeing is the tip of the iceberg. this change, this cultural political change and reform that has been hitting the saudi leadership but also other countries in the middle east i would mention egypt, the uia, jordan, tune aoesh ya. a movement started under the obama administration because of the criticism they had against washington then. but now under the trump administration, they are taking advantage that they can meet with the new administration and talk about these issues. >> heather: speaking of the obama administration he was asked about the iran deal and sided with the current administration on that. >> he did side not to please the administration. this is not a political move because the saudi leadership and the other leaders in the region believe that the iran deal is providing iran with weapons and money and evidence on the ground shows that iran is expanding in iraq, syria, lebanon, ye

walid phares. appreciate your insights as always. good to see you. >> sandra: fox news getting an exclusive interview with embattled epa chief scott pruitt. >> both of these staffers who got the large pay raises are friends of yours from oklahoma, right? >> they're staffers in the agency. >> friends of yours? you didn't know they got the large pay raises? >> i did not know that until yesterday. >> sandra: he is facing tough questions about a big pay raise for two staffers. what does his future hold? ari fleischer joins us to analyze. most pills don't finish the job because they don't relieve nasal congestion. flonase allergy relief is different. flonase relieves sneezing, itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose, plus nasal congestion, which pills don't. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. most pills only block one. and 6 is greater than 1. start your day with flonase for more complete allergy relief. flonase. this changes everything. you know what's not awesome? gig-speed internet. when only certain people can get it. let'

walid phares foreign affairs analyst, good morning to you. they know the world is watching. why do they still do it? >> well, because they understand if the syrian regime, iranian regime, the support,, the russians, they realize they think that we are not going to be responding strategically. they believe that they can do it on the ground but more important, bill, is the reason for why the syrian regime and allies are using these chemical weapons. they do want to see this militias withdrawing from these areas and more dangerous could be the notion that they want the population to leave. i would translate into ethnic cleansing. by using those weapons, no international massive reaction the population is intimidated and they flee. >> bill: lindsey graham last hour said this and the question goes to the white house and what's the response? first senator graham on that. >> the world is watching the president. iran is watching the president. russia is watching the president and north korea is watching the president. this president has a chance to do exactly the opposite of obama.

here to weigh in, fox news national security and foreign policy analyst walid phares.ou've heard greg palkot say that this has gone wrong in the past. my first question, what exactly does he want, and i'm speaking of kim jong-un and also, as these conversations continue, if they continue, how can we sort of decipher progress? >> that's a very good question. that's the question of the day. the north korean leader, or dictator, wants basically to protect his regime, and he's measuring how much he's going to be paying for this. stopping the missile test, he could do that. maybe start to redirect the program, he could do that. the thing, his red line, would be do not touch my regime, it's a one-party regime and that's the challenge, there could be changes on the ground. north koreans could be given possibilities and that could be a risk for him. elizabeth: there was one statement put out this morning, nuclear-free zone, peninsula, if you will. my question to you would mean that would probably include probably the 28,000 troops in south korea to leave and that's probably ne

walid phares is here, very quickly, what do you make of this?, neil, since 2015 -- and we've discussed that many times -- the iranian regime has signed the agreement, told the world that they are abiding by the agreement but actually did everything to continue with what i call the strategic weaponry, meaning developing the missiles on the one hand and making the ability to rebuild the nuclear capacity on the other hand. what we heard today coming from the middle east is actual information that the public obtained and, of course, the american public as well. but i am pretty sure that many intelligence services around the world knew that before. neil: all right. so you believe of this intelligence, i can picture and i haven't seen it yet, i can picture others saying, well, we don't know yet, others have made these charges before, but you think this is pretty unequivocal. >> it is clear once it is raw intelligence material, but for us analysts, you and i have discussed that. why do you develop intercontinental missile program to deliver, what, flow
