To support assad because they have us diverted. their nuclear program does not cost all that much money. every day that geez by, they re building up their stockpile of enriched uranium. when they break out, they ll break out with dozens of nuclear weapons, not just one. now to tonight s hot button issue, you convinced we should do a limited strike in syria? yes or no? straight ahead, is there a risk to president obama s plan, that it could escalate to the point president obama may send soldiers. lieutenant colonel oliver north is here. and allen west is sour about this limited military operation. he s here with a warning. which u.s. senator was doing this, during today s u.s. senate hearing. start guessing.

Massachusetts you can file a lawsuit anonymously. it s very hard to understand, but again it s this march of operation against church and state. when you ask people to show the founding documents where that is, it s not in a declaration, it s not in a constitution. it s just people that believe they should separate any type of faith, any type of belief from the united states of america when they played an more than part in the early writings of the founding fathers. what thomas jefferson, when he wrote the letter to the convention, saying we should not have a head of state who is also the head of church, that s what he meant. that s why we created the first amendment that says you have the free exercise of religion, we don t have state sponsored religion here, so i don t understand what this couple s gripe is about. and i think it s much ado about nothing. the massachusetts supreme court will hear the case tomorrow. one quick question. when do you think there could be a strike in s
So we know john mccain was onboard with the president s plan to strike syria. but the suggestion is that the plan has lost teeth. that it is not strong enougher to john mccain. we ll see if we can speak with him coming up. all of that when we take a quick break. we ll be right back in america s newsroom with more. waffle bars. ryan, your hotels robes are fabulous. i have twelve of them. twelve? shhhh, i m worth it& what i m trying to say is, it s so hard to pick just one of you, so i m choosing all of you with hotels.com. a loyalty program that requires no loyalty. plus members can win a free night every day only at hotels.com
Deterrents, a limited strike against syria, will not only not establish deterrents, it will say to the iranians, is that all there is? we re home free. many people are saying, there s something in the national review tonight, if we don t take actions now, hezbollah, iran and north korea are all going to take notice that we re backed into a corner, the president is if we don t take notice, if we don t do something, it looks like the nation s weak, and the nation will run. that assumes that a strike is a magic bullet, it depends on the extent of the strike, and how powerful it is. there s obviously a spectrum between go big and go light. if you go big, which is what senator mccain wants to do, you may establish a deterrent effect. you will tip the balance of power inside syria. i think that s why there s such opposition to that, people don t believe the opposition if it came to power would be in our interest. a life strike will not create a deterrent effect.
Progress. but i have not written off the idea that the united states and russia are going to continue to have common interests even as we have some profound differences on some other issues. where our interests overlap, we should pursue common action. where we have differences we should be candid about them, try to manage those differences but not sugar coat them. one area where we have a difference is on the issue of syria. russia has a longstanding relationship with the assad regime, and as a consequence, it has been very difficult to get russia working through the security council to acknowledge some of the terrible behavior of
