of we got trouble is syria i mean we've had a for a long time and right now
ninety three
balance and dead in the sobel war
best estimate we have but now this is a different kind of trouble 'cause the
united states government has decided that in fact
the syrian government
dat use chemical weapons
and they have crossed the red line new york times broke this story they sit in
towns community assesses
but this saga regime
has used chemical weapons on a small scale against opposition
multiple times in the last year
they say that about a hundred two hundred and fifty people were affected
by that
and they go on to say that our intelligence community
has high confidence in that assessment
given multiple
independent
streams and information
so that is different
that what they were saying before before there was a very good reason providence
now they're saying hi competence
now are the president
is indicating releases administration is
that they will begin to give assistance the rebels
now the rebels are a lot of trouble
recently they lost in transit strategic city of cu sire
and now some are speculating that perhaps
we've come to a certain degree of certainty
whether it's the united states britain france etcetera
it's because
the rebels
on the verge of collapse and we need to get them some sort of assistance
so i don't know if that's the case
now behind the scenes president bill clinton
talking a very tough game
sandoval is going to step up
in greenwood john mccain
and you is that a
gathering with ten point two umn city grade with them
he also said this
says sometimes is best to get caught trying
as long as you don't overcome it meeting we've got to do something in syria
as long as
i drove dad to mean there is a ground troops
he went on to say some people say look
okay see what a big mess this is stay outta
and buddy says i think that's a big mistake
i agree with you about this pointing to john mccain
in any says look you've got to be
a person disabled action here you can stay on the sidelines a blame the polls
later reese's quote
there's a poll the morning paper that said eighty percent of your guests id
well you look like a total what's saying if you relied basically on the polls
who ironically of course president clinton was quite often criticized for
leading by the polls now whether christen the stroke was a different
story finally he said if you're a few sacked and you cause a calamity
the one thing you cannot say when all their eggs have been broken is that
all my got two years ago there was a poll it's eighty percent of your word
yes right
you'll agree that total four
now that's very relevant has been former leader of the democratic party obviously
two-term president
seem to push the democrats
in the direction of the action is syria obviously john mccain
that fraction of the republican so it would be able to service
soviet a bipartisan agreement
and then you have people saying that yes in fact they have crossed the red line
well looks like here we go up
now it doesn't mean that we i do know fly zone is certainly doesn't they were
new ground troops
we will not be doing ground troops
in the beginning it has stepped up military assistance to the rebels
are we actually clear on with the rebels are no
whether whether we should take action is different question but i i gotta tell
you ninety three thousand dead
is a lot of people that are dad
its own really tough question
who once again while the mother war in the middle east why is america
uh... the self anointed cops on the world
but on the other hand
if you let a dictator
tillis people
crush them
killed nearly a hundred thousand of them i'm sure will be over that number one
it's
but time is said and done
before so it will over that number
s_s_i_ terrible precedent
if you've got no awkward underneath your ground don't worry joy but do you like
to get away with an apt is although well that's a whole different story
well down would be coming for you slash arroyo
the syrians he doesn't have any that's why the civil war is right now so long
without any western help yes there are cop getting factors like russia right
selling weapons
to syria iran or stand them
when you look at the whole picture me
i would do assistance the rebels
and i would do it no-fly zone
i think that uh... are airpower in libya was effective
combined with nato of course
uh... it's not a panacea
it's better than
no assistance that we give you the rebels if things go as they are besides
brutality and even the use of
weapons of mass destruction will wind up working to is
benefit into his advantage and i find that unacceptable
so yes it will cost us a lot of money
and it might cost even some
troops we don't know once you start something where the wind up and i'm not
blind to that i'm very very aware of that that's why i'm so reluctant
the say we should do something here
it's it's time that we help the syrian people
