and number two, assad is a destabilizing force in some ways. when you're killing your own people with a banned nerve gas, that is destabilizing for the entire region. yes, admittedly, it is complicated on who's linked hands with who depending on what country you're in and certainly on the ground in syria. but i think it is extremely destabilizing when the leader of a country is using a banned substance to kill his own people, including children. and this sends a strong message: don't do it again, don't further destabilize the region, and more importantly for the president tp presidency, it sends the message that he's not to be trifled with. kelly: scott and ken mis, always good to see you both, thanks for weighing in on this topic. we'll be following it for a lot of days to come. >> thank you. kelly: also be sure to catch "sunday morning futures" tomorrow with maria bartiromo.
