chemical weapons. i would have rather have seen him stand to his principles early on. call congress into session. present the evidence to them. move quickly because the more that this is debated, the more people will say that any vote of congress will give us, give the president more authority to put boots on the ground. that s what i think will be the danger here. we re going to have to leave it there for now. my panel will stick with me and we ll talk more about the international response and the politics here at home. coming up, next. let me say this to the american people. i know well that we are weary of war. we ve ended one war in iraq. we re ending another in afghanistan. that s why we re not contemplating putting our troops in the middle of someone else s war. we go, go, we don t have to go solo fire, fire, you can take me higher take me to the mountains, start a revolution hold my hand, we can make, we can make a contribution brand-new season, keep it in
the question you asked, how did we get here? it is because the president changed his mind. the president had second thoughts about this and chuck todd is reporting this as well. after a background briefing at the white house and basically, took a walk with his chief of staff, dennis mcdonagh around 5:00 last night and began talking about going to congress. what was very persuasive for him was the eight-hour debate in parliament the day before. the fact that david cameron had taken to it parliament hxt permitted a full debate and was rejected by his own party. and the coalition of opposition leaders and his own party. clearly this president does not want the same outcome. but you have a number of things that will facilitate them coming back early. he did not call them back. primarily because we do have the jewish new year starting, rosh hashana. so they didn t want him in there
afternoon, karen, this congress doesn t move quickly. so certainly, the momentum has slowed here considerably. i would expect that behind the scenes, you will see a robust outreach from particularly the vice president. i m sure the president as well will be working the phones as well as senior administration officials and secretary of state john kerry. thank you, kristin welker. coming up, more reaction on the president s speech today and how a war weary nation will view this vote. usua l please. usua thank you very much. ok guys, i m back. i need a template of a template. oh my gosh. i ve never even seen this record, i ve only read about it in books. yeah we can get some peanut.that is huge. please don t judge the amount of peanut butter we are getting. from prepaid to platinum, cashback and more membership has a card for every character. i m carrie brownstein and i get to be whoever i want.
