receive steve we had survivor the sarin gas attack four years ago on an hour ago. he said he did not want to come to the united states. they want to stay in their own homes. i want to talk to you, brad. what brought us to this stage is barack obama famously a number of years ago said i m going to draw this red line after the sarin gas attack and he never really did anything. but they were able to crow about the fact that they were able to get assad to give up and destroy all their chemical weapons. that as we know what happened last tuesday not true. in fact, the washington post gave susan rice four pinocchios for her claim that obama got syria to verifiablably give up its chemical weapons stockpile. so the the washington post is saying that is a fairy tale. does anybody actually believe assad would follow through on his commitments? of course not. steve: the obama administration thought so. then why did obama say so. hold on main, the two of
launches an illegal and unconstitutional military strike against foreign governments. this is something that congress has not authorized and it s an escalation of a counterproductive regime change war in syria that our country has been waging for years, first for many years to the cia covertly and now overtly through president trump s reckless military strike last night. as you know well, this is a war that costs hundreds of thousands of syrian lives, it cost millions of syrian refugees to flee their homes and it has strengthened terrorist groups operating on the ground in syria like al qaeda, l new sir, isis, and others. whose sole goal is to overthrow the syrian government and take over and take ownership over syria. tucker: this was predicated on the sarin gas attack earlier in the week and everyone we talked to access, they said
chemical weapons and how they dispensed with it in 2013. i think the president stated the u.s. view, the use of chemical weapons is not something we are prepared to allow to persist. we didn t. we managed to accomplish that goal far more thoroughly than we would have by chemical strikes against chemical targets by getting the entirety of the stockpile removed. kelly: with what took place this week with another sarin gas attack that resulted in deaths in syria, what possibly went awry with the obama administration making sure the chemical weapons were dispensed? clearly they were wrong. you have got a quote from susan rice. i feel bad for susan rice because she has been caught in several blunders from the benghazi blunder to the
gorsuch to the supreme court, the g.o.p. changed the rules. did the democrats lose a much bigger fight? i ll ask former senator allen simpson. and after reports that fox paid out at least $13 million to female employees accusing bill o reilly of harassment, advertisers are fleeing the show. is this justice or censorship? first, the president is mostly receiving praise from both sides of the ail for the tomahawk missile strike on syria in response to bashar al assad s sarin gas attack on children. i m not against it. it s harder for me to say that i m for it. how could you be against the idea of seeking retribution after seeing those horrific pictures of kids who were gassed to death? i just want to make sure that we re really going after the evil doers this time, that we really have the goods, that it was bashar al assad who initiated this, and that the base we hit was in fact the point of origin for the sarin gas. so far, that all seems to check
what their suspicions are about how this chemical weapons attack happened in syria? reporter: thomas, thank you. this is of course iran s position, consist accident with syria s position and russia s. all of this is just saying russia said immediately, and syria agreed, that this was an example of a bombing done by a russian aircraft or a syrian aircraft against a rebel position and it was the rebels who stockpiled the chemicals in this facility and that s what caused this appearance of sarin gas mixed with chlorine. the turkish officials who saw many of the wounded who came out of northern syria, they said this was a sarin gas attack. now, the united states and other investigators have really disputed this contention of russia s and syria s and now iran, saying if there had been a bombing, that a lot of these victims would have actually had visible appearances of having been bombed. there s a reason why this was called a bloodless massacre.
