and forth dialogue? you would think these are a bunch of fifth graders on the playground trying to one-up each other. obama saying putin looks like the boy at the back of the classroom who s bored and putin saying obama it would be funny if it weren t so serious. and secretary kerry says we agree on iran. no, we don t. they re helping with iran s nuclear weapons program. we asked for their help and asked for gestures for reciprocity and haven t had it returned. at this point, putin dances circles around president obama. i guess in the next few days he will find another opportunity to humiliate president obama. from the australian ambassador to the u.n., the president of the security council next month says the stalemate in the council between russia and china and the united states on the issue of syria makes it too great to address the issue of syria right now basically saying there is
it is shifting the blame on other snougz so he is not out there alone. last week he was totally a lobe on syria and he didn t like it and that s why he kicked the can to congress. when the president comes back from russia get on tv and sit in the oval office and say i am the united states and this is what we needed to do. he started in sweden this morning and speak to the american people and make his own case directly to the american people? yeah, i think he does. and he needs to explain what the plan is and what he hopes to accomplish with this and i think he needs to convince the american people. but at this point, i have to say, it is an incoherent strategy that the president had from beginning to end, i don t know he can salvaging it at this point. and we didn t do anything about chemical weapons when saddam hussein used them against the
but the congress agreed to that. this is a restructuring of the redline. it is all of us and our responsibility? and remember saddam husseinoused chemical weapons on the iranian and curds. and there has to be consist espy in the argument. we haven t seen a lot of. that the israelis knocked out a syrian nuclear reactor and this administration should be singing the praises of israel by taking out the nuclear reactor. chemicals are bad wait until nuclear weapons in the hands of the regime. martha you are right at this point, obama shifts the blame. it is earlier today martha, i didn t draw a redline, the world drew a redline and this is congress credibility and not just mine.
obama seeks no authority to put boots on the ground in syria and sought to bolster intelligence to confirm a report germany s intelligence agency intercepted a phone call between hezbollah and the iranian embassy in damascus in which the two agreed bashar al assad made a mistake by ordering the chemical attack in damascus. at some point in the appropriate setting you will learn additional evidence that came to us even today which further documents the acknowledgement of various friends of the assad regime, that they know that this happened. when congressman illiani ross lay tin nen of florida asked if our arab partners are willing to pony up to pay for u.s. operations in syria, kerry said, yes, members of the arab league have offered to bear costs.
opportunity, something they say was organic, that they created and they don t want to miss. they don t want to lose that. some of the kids i talked to, sophomores, juniors, seniors, say they were writing up these talking points. that want to make sure that their feelings on gun control, on mental health are going to be expressed properly to those lawmakers. again, i say they re going to get that time with the governor. that s later this afternoon. you can probably see the bus here. all this media, these students have been really good at getting the attention, using social media. they know that. they say they realize they come from a point of privilege. these are well educated kids from a mostly affluent community, and they re using what they learned in school to try to get this attention. we ll keep on this and be marching with them to the capitol. that s such a good point. if there s one group of americans who know how to be tested, it s public high school students. they do it all t
