come here to the united states. geraldo: right. harris: it has not metastasized outside the borders of syria. that s a contained situation that you hope these men can come to an agreement with. but the islamic state savages are doing the first part of the phrase i just spitted out. they want to kill anybody that s not like them. if we can come together i don t know. meghan, brings up great points. we are awaiting the moscow news conference. our secretary of state, when he finishes the conversation with the president of russia, he ll then step in with sergei lavrov his counterpart in russia to hold a dual conference. we will anticipate maybe we will find out what he talked about with the president. that would be my question as a journalist, and we ll carry that out. as that pops up on the screen,
he went to congress for an authorization vote. he did get a floor vote at all. that didn t happen. president trump is tweeting out, and i quote, the president must get congressional approval before attacking syria. big-time mistake if he does not. now we see the president doing that. geraldo, i hear you, but where s the consistency on the issue? geraldo: you re exactly right, precise on the issue. in 2013, president obama, everybody would have forgiven him, but he waited. sandra: we are awaiting a joint press conference with the russian foreign minister, sergei lavrov and secretary of state rex tillerson. we ll bring you that meeting
syria. he says i m not going to share strategy, but share the policy after this meeting today between the secretary of state and the president of that country, russia. eboni: to megan s point, i m concerned about the unintended consequences of this type of action. look, i agree something needed to be done. i m going to hope and pray that president trump, although he won t be sharing it widely with us, what his strategy is, but he s thought about it, taken into consideration and into account, and the risk associated with all aspects of this are being calculated and considered. harris: what s interesting, sandra, president obama took heat for saying he wasn t going to put ground troops in. there were some republicans who said, well, that s giving away our strategy. now this president has done it. so how is it different? does that matter? sandra: it does matter. the american people care, because as we talked about yesterday, the american people were southwestward, and there s very l
done by the obama administration a long time before i did it, and you would had a much better i think syria would be better off than it has been. obama didn t push for he didn t do it. they had a big attack after he drew the red line in the sand. they had a big attack. everybody waited, what s going on, and nothing happened. even the obama people admitted he was wrong for not doing it. sandra: what do you make of that? would syria be in a better position, be better off today had the former president, obama, acted different? geraldo: i think that president trump is exactly right, that the originally sin in syria is barack obama s sin. it s just that i date the president potus 44, barack obama s, problems with allowing assad and his regime to be destabilized by encouraging representative democracy in syria the way we did in libya, throughout the arab world with
i think we have a role as the greatest country in the world to help out these people. i do in the simplest way possible. geraldo thinks that s not the best idea. harris: ho you wehow would yh ground troops to help these people? that s scary. meghan: of course it s scary. this country is incredibly war weary. but i would debate president obama wouldn t let us win. when he pulled us out of iraq, we know now isis metastasized out of it. if we had led the generals and leaders do their job i don t understand exactly where president trump is on syria. eboni: quick point on this. here s the thing. hypocrisy, meghan mccain, i despise it, i appreciate president trump did something on this issue, and he did it. in 2013, president obama didn t do nothing.
