to criticize my own administration, but i have to say i think they really let down not just syria, but the world. do you support a no-fly zone? yes, yeah. i think i don t want to get us involved in another conflict. on the other hand, we certainly can help those people who are fighting for what they consider to be freedom. the white house has said that if the evidence was found that the president was going to use chemical weapons against his own people, that that would be crossing a red line. so is this enough of a response now that there s documented evidence? well, the administration has known for weeks now that they used chemical weapons and that it may have been used sparingly, but sparingly is too much. . and the president is fond of setting red lines and fond of drawing lines in the sapd, but people cross them all the time
bright rising. today i think we have raised $1.25 million and given awe over 700,000 with assisted 225 families, about 10 or 11 businesses. and we are starting to work on some of the infrastructure in town. this is a tight-knit community where people stick together and, frankly, why people choose to live here. countless amounts of people are have fond, fond memories of this town and, as a result, people have come to its rescue of sorts. it doesn t matter. it doesn t matter if you live in a house with bean bags and microwaves because material things don t matter. it s just the people that matter. joining us here here is mike barnicle and jon beach mooech a.
today and what fond, warm memories they have of that day, and really how it changed their world view and their lives. some incredible insight, i m sure. yeah, it was incredible to sit down with them. they lived through something that i ve only read about in the history books. so to have that experience was very cool. so i hope you guys tune in for all of that. first, pope benedict now down to his final hours as the head of the roman catholic church. as we see the vatican, it s important to realize that no one on earth no one on earth right now has ever seen what s going to happen today. it has been 600 years since a pope resigned. and watch this, that light on last night in benedict s vatican apartment, a person appears in the window, then the light goes out. perhaps symbolic of the day ahead. the ending of one day, the beginning of a new one, literally and metaphorically as well. electing a new pope falls to the church s cardinals as abc s david wright now reports. repor
even though they disagreed over some issues sush such as the iraqi surge. bret: let s get some perspective. brit hume is here tonight with us. good evening. supporters of hagel are fond of state can his courage. his agreement with president obama on the issue when both of them were senators were said to have been the bond between them. there is another way to look at it. when the authorization to go to war there was before the senate, hagel voiced misgivings what he said was a lack of knowledge of the country and unaware of the risks. when the role was cold. he voted aye. when things got tough he became a critic. then hagel called it the biggest foreign policy blunder since
