Tonight from chad myers, who has late new information in the cnn weather center. Whats the latest on this storm, because honestly, im not sure is this for real . Because we hear so much hype about storms sometimes. You know, its the rub that we worked through last year with irene. We thought it was going to be such a big event for new york and it was a dud. It wasnt a big dud for vermont, New Hampshire, new jersey, because of the flooding. But this is what we have to work through right now. This storm that looks like that, like just literally nothing, still a small category 1 hurricane, but can this morph literally into something that will have 80 to 90 mile per hour winds, put 20 inches of rain down, and cause millions of people to be without power for days and probably some for weeks.

Listen. Announcing a withdrawal date, that was wrong. The taliban may not have watches but they do have calendars. President obama called romney out last night on this point, accusing him of shifting his Foreign Policy positions. Romney didnt disagree with the president and that and of itself might be the most interesting part of all. As for president obama, mo

News about a man whose courage is inspiring. For years he has raised his voice in syria. For more than a year he defied the dictator insisting in using his own name in interviews, talking about crimes he has seen the regime commit. He has done this knowing full well that the regime that killed, tort chored and killed so many could silence him.
