a collapse of the syrian state and it breaking into factions of war and instability that threatens the entire region with this is one of the issues that i believe president obama will raise with president putin in russia this week. it is our hope, rather than have a collapse of the syrian state and it breaking into factions of war and instability that threatens the entire region with the spread of terrorism and chemical weapons, that instead there could be a negotiated transition, new elections, and new accommodations in syria for a post-assad regime where that comes to an end where some semblance of peace can be restored. senator coombs, what is your personal time table on this issue? will there be votes in the committee tomorrow? i expect there will be votes maybe as soon as tomorrow. at the latest, monday, and then we ll move to consideration on

rand paul on chemical weapons. if the united states of america doesn t do this, senator, is it more or less likely that assad does it again? you want to answer that question? i don t think it is known is it more or less likely he does it again? i think it is unknown whether or not you have the attack senator, it is not unknown, if the united states of america doesn t hold them accountable with our allies and friends, it is a guarantee that assad will do it again. a guarantee, and i urge you to go to the classified briefing and learn that. and ari melber and rand paul did that, there is one of those cases where there are good arguments on both sides. i think there are, and i don t think the administration has completely outlined why this is of both national security interests and necessary at this point in time.
come next? we are very focused to the response on the chemical weapons. the furious lobbying continuing on syria. they head to the hill, and america decides what to do about syria. breaking news tonight, we have the first details of the senate resolution that would authorize the united states military action against syria for the use of chemical weapons. the use would be just 90 days and expressly bars the use of u.s. ground forces or combat operations. president obama made the case for action to congressional leaders this morning at the white house. so the key point that i want to emphasize to the american people, the military plan that has been developed by our joint chiefs. and that i believe is appropriate is proportional.
this, precisely to mark s point doesn t really have a defined end. this will just continue on, this has to do with the american credibility and a statement of iran, or the force of chemical weapons will only continue as long as american troops are not on the ground. if this is conducted from what we perceive to be a safe distance, then it will continue for as long as they define it to be needed. richard wolff and senator ginburg, thank you for joining us. coming up, the new split in the republican party on the american intervention in the middle east. krystal ball and ari melber will join me. and politicians are wandering off their talking points and improvising and why it is driving their staffs crazy. and over the bay, the push, and why it is driving them crazy over the iraq war.
