president? obviously secretary of state has standing to make these kind of comments. he talked for a very long time. this seemed to me for the place of the commander-in-chief. gregg: are you disappointed? i m disappointed we re drawing a red line and talking about a war. i think it is ridiculous to talk about going into a country we have no, i mean gregg: but the fact, you re pointing out that obama didn t make the speech, it was kerry? correct. gregg: are you disappointed by that? do you think this is a president dodging his responsibilitys. i m more disappointed by having all this war talk. you can t say there will be a red line and not do anything and say, wait until congress gets back to let them decide. it doesn t look good. i m, unless we have, unless we re threatened, we shouldn t be at war. gregg: some can argue, i suppose, jim, if the president, truly sincerely believes congress should be involved, why didn t he do that at at outset? instead it seems like this was
weakened there. lisa is a mideast journalist and fox news contributor. what makes you think so? you know, president obama has painted a picture which is somewhat accurate that the syrian regime used chemical weapons and it changed the entire calculus of the situation. while chemical weapons are used across many lines, consequences on the ground have not changed and that s the same reasons why we didn t get involved two years ago and since. we have al qaeda as a majority of the rebels embedded with them on the ground. gregg: let me stop you there. there s a piece in today s wall street journal that people might be interested in reading by somebody who has been on the ground there who says that the conventional wisdom that jihadists are running the rebellion is not what she witnessed on the ground. well, it s difficult to say what you can witness on the ground because, again, there s a
states would turn its back on israel, on jordan, on turkey, on our allies in the region, turn its back on the innocent syrian people who have been slaughtered by this gas and those who yet may be subject to an attack, if we don t stand up to this, i can t contemplate that the congress would turn its back on all of that responsibility. that s why this is so difficult for the president. why he s got the sleeves rolled up and working so hard. if he wins and it s a squeaker and he uses a lot of political capital to get congress on board here, that s political capital he would have spend on immigration reform or something else. if he loses that would be a devastating blow. gregg: thank you so much. arthel: new fallout in the mideast region to the crisis in syria. with the arab league now stopping just short of endorsing military force, calling on the united nations and the world community to take action and use
let s see. let s see what obama will do. reporter: should the united states act do you think? well if they have the proof of the intention to use the chemical weapons on civilians, then, yes. no need for bloodshed. no need for american people or american military to die in syria. obama is the biggest of all in the country. maybe he wants to, he wants to strike, he wants to strike. reporter: as you can hear, gregg, divisions here just like in washington on the possibility of u.s. action in the region. gregg: yeah. i want to mention, come back to something you mentioned, arab league. the arab eagan league is weighing in on this, what are they saying? yeah. they met last night in cairo, gregg. much anticipated here in the region. also, by washington, the hope was that they could come up with a strong statement backing military intervention by the united states. well the concluding statement from that meeting fell short of that, simply calling for the
