responsible for this, and i don t see how he escaped responsibility for that and at the moment he stands responsible for what is a war crime and i m glad he put forward this catalog of weapons. but we ve got a long way to go before we see them dismantled and i think we re just started here. remember our discussion continues every sunday and we ll continue the discussion about the assad interview and whether we can or can t or should or shouldn t trust assad. you can find it on our website, foxnewssunday.com. follow us on twitter @foxnewssunday. and what is it like to be the donald s daughter?
21st chemical weapons attack, there were all kinds of reports that the syrian military was dispersing its chemical weapons, moving it to places where it would be sheltered. what about the possibility that assad could simply ship some of his chemical weapons to allies in the region? well, this is obviously a question that inspectors will have to look at. practically speaking, the hardest part of this stage is getting the bureaucracies right. setting up the chemical weapons treaty convention and a bureaucracy in the u.s. and the security council. it will be key to watch for who is going to be the person to head this. when you see that person named and identified, you ll get a better idea whether this is going to move forward smartly.

someone asked the president the other day, do you trust putin? my answer would be, are you kidding me? senator, leon panetta says if you draw a red line you ve got to enforce it. bob gates says it s a joke to trust putin. however we ended up here, didn t president obama really make a hash of this? well, i think it s very easy to always monday morning quarterback in a really difficult mess like this is. there are no good solutions to this problem. there was no good answer. it s a civil war where we re not sure who the bad guys and the good guys are but we did know that there were chemical weapons used and what the president has accomplished, no matter how he got here, he s got putin doing the right thing and he s got assad recognizing and admitting that he has chemical weapons and them moving in the right direction to get rid of them and that s what this was about. and so you can monday morning quarterback the way it went
