Chemical weapons. And does he think the United States will actually strike. A live report from the middle east ahead. Also, Congress Gets back to work tomorrow. Ill ask one congressman why he is still on the fence. Ill ask a senator who backs a strike. Why now . Good sunday afternoon. Im craig melvin. We start in washington where the white house is working hard to convince congress and the American Public, white house chief of staff, the white house chief of staff, denis mcdone now, and charlie rose. A defiant syrian president denied garsing his people and also dared the Obama Administration to prove their allegations. The most important thing is, he basically says there has been no evidence that i used chemical weapons in against my own people, and that there is no evidence of that. And if in fact the administration has evidence, then they should show that evidence. Nbcs Peter Alexander is at the white house for us. Pete, what has been the white houses reaction to that assad interview
The answer is. No. Bill is the Republican Party sensing doom for president obama . Karl rove on that. Caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. The factor begins right now. Bill hi, im bill oreilly. Thanks for watching us tonight. The consequences of syria, that is the subject of this evenings talking points memo. This man is a killer. And evidence shows he used poison gas on civilians last month. A violation of international law. But he may be the luckiest man on earth tonight. Because it looks like the world will not act against the syrian tyrant assad. Thats because the world is a chaotic place.

I think yesterday we talked about the president s unf unfortunate statement coming out of the white house talking about president obama. Yesterday he righted himself, said what he needed to say, saying its my problem now, its on my shoulders. I think he heard the criticism attacking obama and how tone deaf it wasality the time. There are a lot of people, not only across the world, but a lot of people in america who im sure were heartened by the fact that this president wasnt going to say what every politician has said for the last five years, theres been a genocide in syria. That is, oh, its just too hard and thats really were sad and its a shame, and we cant help them over there, we cant do anything.
