Chemical weapons list sent to the united nations yesterday. they are reviewing the list of the opposition leader. he tells us, don t trust assad. and as for syria s reported bid for a possible peace talks in geneva, the general says, no cease-fire. i interviewed him from inside syria over skype. the deputy prime minister of syria has said that neither side can win. they call the fighting a stalemate. they are calling for peace talks in geneva. do you intend or would you surrender or give up and meet with assad? we are not going to have any cease-fire with the regime and the prime minister and the deputy of the prime minister are lying and i am sorry to tell you that because the regime is still using the airport and the air jets and the scud missiles and all kinds of weapons to kill people. i think when they are ....
There d be the sheer logistical challenge of trying to ensure the safety of any united nations inspectors that would be on the ground in syria in the midst of a horrendous civil war that has included not only artillery and air strikes and scud missile strikes, but also deadly car bombs, kidnapping and on august 21st as the u.n. investigation has concluded, large use of chemical weapons that killed at least 1,400 civilians. martin. there s still a great deal of skepticism. ivan watson in new york. thanks very much. some have equated chicago to a city under siege. nearly a dozen shot, four of them killed in just the last 24 hours. and that follows a shooting thursday night when 13 people were hit by gunfire in a park. all of this happening while the city says things are getting better. we re going in depth next.

Moral support, physical support, supplies going at lest ast off the moderate group of the free syrian army. we have been talking over the last several day thousands. who are the rebels? who is actually fighting against bashar al assad? and there is a war within the war. half of the rebels pretty much are moderates. perhaps the other half are groups that scud be extremists. al qaeda among them. and the moderates had been putting their hope and their faith in the united states. and they had been telling their own constituents, help is coming. and if help doesn t come, they re going to lose a lot of face. and it will be something that the the more extremist elements will be freeing to capitalize on. so they will be hoping, moderates will be hoping the united states will at least promise them some support in the days to come. not just say no, we re not going to be bombing, no we are not going to be sending help. we are happy now that the, that ....
So much to tip the balance. that s a fine line to walk, and the one thing military officials have been telling me here is the one thing they cannot control or say with 100% center is what happens next? they may send this message, but how it s received is totally up to bashar al assad. and, colonel francona, isn t this is critical window for bashar al assad? if he actually is planning to engage in this plan? wouldn t this be the moment, if he didn t want to be 100% honest, to start doing a better job of hiding some of the things he has? i think a lot of the stuff is already hidden. we talked about this the other day. i just find it inconceivable no matter what he or his foreign minister says they re going to give up what they believe is their strategic deterrence against israel. and those would be the missile warheads that fit on the scud. the long-range missiles he has. those are probably locked away somewhere. i don t know if we know where they are, but i don t trust the syrians t ....
I m telling you what i ve heard from syrians on the ground and from rebels, secular and also from the al qaeda linked on the ground. it s a sense that the battle has really been this kind of bloody stalemate for 2 1/2 years, and the notion of a u.s. strike that would not just take out chemical weapons capacity but some of their air capacity from a regime that is very comfortable sending scud missiles at civilians. but this is precisely the ambiguity that is at the heart of the debate over syrian intervention right now which is that if you talk to people allied with the rebel forces, if you talk to people connected to the opposition, the hope is that this strike will tip the balance of the battlefield, and yet the argument that john kerry, president obama and others have to make to the american people is that this is not a strike to tip the balance of the battlefield, because we refuse to take possession of the civil war. this is a punitive strike for the use of chemical weapons to en ....
