sides against each other. they say they are essentially outmanned and they re not an equal against the assad regime because they re fighting a dictator. but the u.n. is declaring it a civil war. and u.n. peacekeepers have been attacked in syria in the past 24 hours. they were trying to get to the site to check on a possible attack there. u.n. peacekeepers were attacked. they had rocks thrown at them and they were turned away. all of this has created an atmosphere where more weapons are entering into syria. the u.n. is being attacked. there are real fears, the eyes and ears, the u.n. who have only access to the country they may not be able to bring information out of syria and attacks and mass curse will only continue and get worse. jenna. jenna: regardless of the word choice, there is something happening inside the country, isn t there, conor, and people are dying. conor powell thank you very much for that. we ll talk a little bit about the money trail.

be satisfied with what you ve got. jon: karl rove, carl, thank you. you bet.
