residents. this is not the first time america has put down a red line on chemical weapons. i heard people say it s the president s redline. it s not the red line of the united states of america. you have to look at history and know that it is. i m reminded of what president clinton said when he was asked about his one regret for his time in presidency. he said my one regret was inaction in rwanda. what if we do nothing about gases of thousands of people in syria? i have heard some people say that if we go in and we strike assad and make him pay for the use of chemical weapons more than any benefit he gains, that we are acting as al qaeda s air force. i believe that is a cheap line by some people who garner headlines and not a serious discussion of what s going on in syria. mr. secretary kerry, if you ll
intervention in syria. this is senator dick durbin, democrat. any other member that wishes to be heard? thank you, chairman. i would like to thank my colleagues on this committee for the way that this debate hascon. as secretary kerry said it s not just important what we decide as a body but how we decide it but cautious and careful deliberation on the use of force is one that meets expectations of the american people. the outcome is not predictable based on partisanship but is instead a reflection of the values and insights of each member of this committee. as this authorization moves to debate in full congress, i continue to be mindful that i represent a state as do many of us that is weary of war and where input from my home state has been to strongly caution against a repeat of some of the

bosnia to make peace and have a settlement and save lives. that s what we achieved. we achieveded th ed thad that p it s vital to the united states to assert this principle and to begin to move this troubled part of the world in a different direction. i want to pull away from you ve been listening to secretary kerry answering questions from different members of the house foreign affairs committee but we have news how. it s a busy day in washington. incredibly busy on capitol hill. we ll flip from the house to the senate side. senate foreign relations committee. they have been meeting. they have been voting on their version of their resolution. their bill to go ahead and potentially intervene militarily in syria. i want to go to our chief congressional correspondent, dana bash. the marking of the bills. amendments. tell me what you know. reporter: the first major hurdle for the president to get this authorization was just cleared inside a very key
assad. i have not seen any evidence to suggest that that is what would be the primary impulse motivating the people in a post-assad syria. i fear what would motivate them would be the muslim brotherhood, sunni islamism and al qaeda type terror groups. that s the sense of history that a lot of us see. that s why when we look at a potential strike, how that could affect the civil war, we don t want to do something that s going to lead to an outcome that s as bad as having assad or potentially even worse. congressman, very good question. the answer is there are some really bad actors in some of these groups in syria. there are a couple of other groups that some people characterize as worse but one of the things that is concentrating the president s thinking about syria and the reason for supporting the moderate
