at the end of that clip he will tell you, i don t back down. that s not what i do. martha: will get emotional when it is appropriate. bill: so a senate committee are we done with that? martha: i think so. i think so. i think everybody is done wit. bill: we re done for today. stay tuned tomorrow. a senate committee passing a resolution to authorize military force in syria as leaders respond to the president, saying that he did not draw the red line. the president guests lost when he doesn t have a teleprompter in front of him which he obviously didn t last year. that is somewhat mystifying. i was asked about that yesterday. maybe the president needs to look at what he said a year ago. it was very clear, it was not congress drawing a red line. he said, i have a red line. bill: live report on that comment from the hill on what is next. martha: the national rifle association teaming with up with the aclu? we ll tell what you issue has brought these two strange
around, looked at the u.n., no support there. he looked at congress. they hadn t checked in on syria yet. he looked at the arab league. no support there for any strike. he realized he was out there completely alone on syria and he didn t like it one bit. sew kicked the can to the congress. if congress denies him approval, he could say, look i really wanted to do it but they said no, wouldn t let me. if they give him approval that is the open question about what he does. martha: i want to go back to this o reilly talking points memo that really set off a firestorm of controversy about this whole discussion the other night. as he slammed conservatives that opposed military action in syria saying that disliking president obama is no reason to risk the u.s. losing international respect. that is perspective on this. here s a piece of that from tuesday night. watch. back home, we now have many conservative people willing to give assad a pass because they don t trust president obama. ironic
arrive. senator mccain end up voting yes. watch this. this makes it now a complete package of degrading his chemical capabilities, support for the free syrian army and now changing the battlefield equation which now gives us a package which is a policy which i think will send a message to bashar assad. martha: hmmm. there s the moment that we ve been watching for. president obama just stepped out of the limousine, a handshake. looked fairly friendly, that moment. played out quite carefully no doubt. look at all of the cameras and no doubt that picture will be seen quite a bit today because there s a lot of tension between vladmir putin, who has said flat-out that he does not believe that we should take any action in in syria. he gone to far to call our secretary of state a liar. he believes that there is, putin believes there is al qaeda influence in the rebel group and john kerry saying that he believes the majority of the
occasions. including grenade darks panama. i can run a list of them. and i am not going to sit here and be told by you that i don t have a sense of what the judgment is with respect to this. we re talking about people being killed by gas and you want to go talk about benghazi and fast and furious. absolutely want to t about benghazi where four americans lost their lives. i have sympathy for the people in syria and i think there should be a worldwide response but we should act cautiously before we act unilaterally. we re acting cautiously. so cautiously because the president of the united states was accused of not acting because he wanted sufficient evidence and build the case properly. bill: the argument went on from there. the terror attack happened on september 11th last year killing four americans including our ambassador chris stevens. you see them on the screen there. steven hayes, fox news contributor. good morning to you.
vote on. exactly. the really sad thing from my point of view, that american first, is that the united states is losing prestige and influence around the world and the russians are winning. let s be clear. monica s analysis is exactly right. what i m looking to see, can our president finally show leadership and make the moral, political and strategic case for why we need to go forward with the operation in syria? i think he has to and he needs to but it remains to be seen. martha: yeah. i mean, we had peter king on a moment ago, he basically said look, i m out here in favor of this thing but the president is making my job, peter king, said, quite a bit harder, because he is basically dispersing his leadership on this. he is saying we re all in this together and really protecting himself for a later date when if it doesn t work out he said, hey, you guys all voted for it too. sharing the blame which is what obama routinely does. he has the legal ability to go ahead and act without co
