seem to be far ahead in the science, showing that medical marijuana actually helps these patients. yeah. they have done some of the earliest work in israel. it s quite an amazing history with regard to their scientific discovery there. it was there in the early 1960s where they isolated some of the most important therapeutic compounds in cannabis, cbd and it tch, two main ones people think about. they have gotten to the point now where many clinical trials have been done. you go to some big hospitals in jerusalem, and cannabis is part of the treatment protocols, meaning patients are even using it in the hospitals. i was there with these patients as they were doing this. so it s far ahead compared to in the united states where it s still categorized, scheduled as a substance that is among the most dangerous and has no medicinal benefit. go to israel, they re using in hospitals. you can see the difference here, wolf. you certainly can. and your documentary really, sanjay, hits on the
hours? yeah. what did happen in the last 24 hours? was it really clear that maybe we found out they going to strike israel if we struck them? and if so, maybe what we had been planning was totally inadequate for the situation. so this this delay mechanism, there are there has to be a lot more going on than we re seeing right now. we re seeing the duck on the surface. there are a lot of feet moving around down there. perhaps more of that information will come out in the hours ahead. thank you so much captain nash. appreciate it as always. and president obama declaring he wants the military action against syria to be dictated by congress. can the u.s. really afford to get involved in another overseas conflict? coming up, we ll tail tally up the possible bill and see how the government plans to pay for it all.

when we finish this pinpick, i think what they re likely to do is escalate, and if they do, we had better have already taken down a lot of their defense infrastructure. meaning, a lot of their surface-to-air missile sites, radar, command control and air-to-air assets. if we don t do that first, and we just go in and hit them, we ll be right back in the situation that we are now, which is, we re reacting to something they ve done. if we just give them a a limited strike, and then step back, we re going to step back and wait for them to do something and we re going to react again. so if we re going if we re never going to take control of the situation, we re always going to be pulling back, wa waiting for them, they is the initiative, we ve never seized it and better take down the defenses fir, because we re sure going to wish we did that. what about the threats that syria is making in terms of attacks against israel? do you believe that that is a
very real possibility? and what i hear you say, it s possible, if we re not prepared, and able to do what you just said, that these pinpricks will turn into this large, gaping wound? absolutely. because the thing is, if we don t have a plan for the end state. not we can foresee the end state, but at least a plan, a desired outcome, then we re just swinging in the dark. and this whole concept of, well, we re going to punish them, that s not our job. our job is is to defend the united states of america against all enemies foreign and domestic. that s the overall guidance. so punishing a foreign leader for something that he s done, where everybody else is sitting on the sidelines and you ve got the french, maybe. it doesn t really stack up. now, back to this question about israel. and greg jarrett was asking, what happened in the last 24
the streets was interviewed and she said we are not afraid here. if you want people who are afraid go to israel. that s where they are lining up for gas masks and seeking shelter. that was the case in israel. this is a country feeling it was on the verge of a regional war and it was walked back from the brink here. heather, it doesn t make people feel confident. president obama laid down a red line about syria s use of chemical weapons. in affect he laid down a red line about iran achieving nuclear weapons. now there are people in israel saying, wait a second. if he is not willing to use military force in syria and he needs the consent of the congress there, what does it mean about his proms vis-a-vis iran and everywhere else in the region. in terms of the israeli people, the risks are great, leland. absolutely. it is a matter of confidence. he says it doesn t seem
