have. if you decide to have a policy whereby you prosecute every single person who presents himself or herself somewhere along the border for consideration for amnesty and you charge all of them, which is a misdemeanor, you have to take care you are not harming them in a disproportionate way. as one of the judges said in the last couple of days, it s been reported incredulous there was no way for the prosecutor to happen what happened to this person s child. when you arrest somebody, and you take material from them or documents from them or a telephone from them or some other property, they inventory it. you keep track of it. you get a receipt. how can it be i agree with the judge. how can it be you take someone s child away and you have nothing in return? you don t have a slip of paper. a lot of people make a big deal out of things. i understand the president has a particular policy and he is trying to engage in the deterrent affect. he disclaims he is engaging in a deterrent affect
important step. but this cannot be another excuse for delay or obstruction. reporter: but the rhetorical may be getting ahead of the practical. emptying syria of one of the largest chemical stockpiles in the world in the middle of a war would be next to impossible. you have to literally open up the entire country, have to have a cease-fire, have to have a prolonged period where u.n. weapons inspectors would come in, blanket the country, identify what s there, inventory it, then manage to extract it. and it seems to me almost unimaginable. a phone call today with the russian foreign minister, secretary kerry made clear the u.s. does not want the play games here and that this cannot be a reason to delay getting the congress to authorize military action, but it may turn out to be just that. the u.s. may not trust syria or russia, it also does not want to look like it s dismissing a serious diplomatic solution.
