Another one in hillary clinton, former administration official make egg that argument today as well. it s clear they know they have a difficult path ahead. i just want to get your reaction, both of your reactions to this latest reporting. russia has floated thissey-of- idea of syria turning over chemical weapons as a way to resolve this. is that realistic? is russia being an honest broker here? the administration is trying to figure out whether this is a real possibility, proposal or delaying tactic. it followed kerry saying rhetorically today in london, sure there s a way assad could avoid a military strike. that s if he follows international protocols and turns over chemical weapons but he s never going to do that. you could kind of see sergey lavrov, long time foreign minister and the guy that s been around the block, huh, maybe that s the way to do this. from the administrative s perspective, it couldn t come at ....

Weapons of war that could be a rick to us and others. serious national implications are implicated. we all need to step back and take a hard look at those videos and wonder whether we want to listen in a world where we can look at that evidence, children gassed by a debate and decide not to act. at the end of the day the american people understand as difficult as it is, we have an interest in acting particularly given it s limited without any u.s. boots on the ground, time limited in scope as well. a compelling case to make in terms of national interest and types of military action we re contemplating as it s different from iraq and afghanistan. ben rhodes at the white house, thank you for your time this afternoon. we appreciate it. thank you. nbc s kyra symmon symmonds ....

Did you hear? we heard from russian foreign minister, the syrian and russian foreign minister had their news conference, made their announcements, seemed like this was it. something clearly happened. suddenly tonight local time we get called to rushed news conferences where sergey lavrov said russia is encouraging syria to put chemical weapons under international control. he said in that news conchs we do not know if syria agrees with this. but if placing them under military control helps avoid military strikes we ll immediately get to work on this. we then saw syrian foreign minister say in another very short news conference that he welcomed the proposal. the question, of course, is what exactly does that mean. people will be in a holding pattern where syria figures for themselves what it means or ....
