good morning, america. this morning, attack on hold. president obama's surprise, last-minute decision to get congressional approval before launching an attack. against syria. >> our capacity to execute this mission is not time sensitive. >> are the votes for a military strike there? and how are our allies reacting right now? we have live team coverage. breaking news. nelson mandela home from the hospital. he's now being treated from his home in his own bed. the very latest from his doctors on his condition. facing firing. the foul-mouthed police chief whose ranting and raving while shooting off a machine gun went viral. >> if you didn't get enough the first time around. >> why he won't back down even if it means losing his job. >> how about that?

and caught on camera. look at this incredible video. a landslide sends a gigantic boulder down the side of a mountain, rolling to a stop just inches away from a car. the video you have to see this morning. >> good morning on this extremely busy sunday with big stories developing here at home and all over the world. >> let's start with president obama. and his stunning decision to put what appeared to be an imminent attack against syria on hold. now looking to congress to approve military action, after britain, a key u.s. ally backed out. now this delays any action against the assad regime for using chemical weapons by more than a week, because congress is out of session until september 9th. we begin with jonathan karl from

the white house. quite a surprising turn of events. >> reporter: absolutely. while the president has told the world he believes the united states should launch a military attack against syria, he also made it clear he is not ready to act alone. the president made an impassioned case that the syrian government should be punished for using chemical weapons. >> i have decided that the united states should take military action against syrian regime targets. this would not be an open-ended situation. but i'm confident we can hold them accountable for the use of chemical weapons, deter the behavior, and degrade their capacity to carry it out. >> reporter: but he isn't ready to launch an attack just yet. first, he wants to get a green light from congress. >> while i believe i have the authority to carry out this military action without specific congressional authorization, i know the country will be

stronger if we take this course, and our actions will be more effective. >> reporter: the move will certainly delay military action by two weeks or more. but the president said he has time. >> our capacity to execute is not time sensitive. it will be effective tomorrow or next week or one month from now. and i'm prepared to give that order. >> reporter: it was the president, who more than a year ago, warned syria -- >> a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons being moved around or being utilized. >> reporter: now that they've done it, he says america must act. >> we do what we say, and we lead with the belief that right makes might. not the other way around. >> reporter: the president will also attempt to build international support for this action, beginning with his trip to russia this week, for a summit meeting of world leaders, including some that are adamantly opposed to the military strike in syria. >> and that includes the president of russia, an interesting interaction. no question.

jon karl, thank you for your reporting this morning. now the action from the white house to capitol hill where the administration is going to launch an all-out lobbying campaign. and where lawmakers have already started to grapple with what will be a major decision. abc news' jeff zeleny is at the capital. jeff, good morning. walk us through the order of operations. when does the debate start? >> reporter: good morning. the debate is not going to start officially until next week. congress is still on its week-long recess, finishing up their summer break. the votes start next week. but there's a classified briefing on the hill this afternoon. the senate foreign relation committee begins taking some of those witness testimony statements on tuesday. this is the critical week that the white house has to explain its position, make its case to congress. right now i'm told by senior officials on both sides of the capital, the votes are not there yet. the white house has work to do over the week. >> what's your sense of whether it will pass?

the whole world was surprised when the british parliament voted against this. what are the odds here in the u.s. congress? >> reporter: the odds in the u.s. congress are, right now, if this vote was taken today, i'm told by lawmakers on both sides, it would not pass. but as always when these things get closer to the end, things can change. but if it were to pass, it would have to be unusual alliance of democrats and republicans. some libertarians and liberals are very opposed to this action right now. so it's threading a very difficult needle for this white house. >> a huge gamble. jeff zeleny on the capital this morning. thank you. let's bring in george stephanopoulos who is the host of "this week." george, good morning. >> hey, guys. >> let me put up a question and ask you -- let me put up a picture and ask a question. this is the situation room on friday night, the president and the national security team. look at the faces. everybody so grim as they make the decision. as i look, let's ask, if the votes go against them in congress, are they likely to act against syria any way? >> if the vote went against him,

he would be the first president in modern times to lose a vote on military force. that was the question that president obama ignored when he left the rose garden yesterday. that was the question being shouted out. i'm going to ask secretary of state kerry this morning. i don't see how they have a choice. ichb even if they lose, the president -- given what he said about the scale of the crime, a crime against humanity, he called it. he will have to act. he will be doing it without congressional authorization. to bet the white house and the bet that the president is making is that this is going to pass and this will strengthen his hand. >> why not call congress back sooner? did the president box himself in by drawing that red line when it comes to chemical weapons? >> that is the big question. if you look a year ago, a lot of people were surprised with the red line. on the other hand, when you look at the scale of the attack, it would have been hard to ignore any way. i talked to white house officials about why the president didn't call them back earlier. he said, that is their decision. one of the other things he said yesterday is the chairman of the

joint chiefs of staff, martin dempsey, has told him, it doesn't matter. whenever he gives the order, they will be able to carry out the mission. so a couple of weeks doesn't matter. >> interesting to see if that holds. george stephanopoulos, thank you. george will have a big morning on "this week." he'll be going one on one with the secretary of state john kerry. george, thanks again. and of course, this delay gives the syrians more time to prepare for an attack. terry moran has that from beirut, lebanon. you've been reporting that syrian media is reacting to the president's surprising decision. >> reporter: absolutely, bianna. the bottom line from syria this morning is we won. there were church bells ringing out, prayers of gratitude, and the syrian government playing patriotic music. the syrian deputy prime minister said it was the syrian army that warded off the aggression that the u.s. planned. there is no question that this is a blow, at the moment, to president obama's credibility.

and, as you said, it gives syria more time to prepare. we have been reporting that heavy equipment, missiles and tanks and launchers have been moved off of key bases. but that does leave the u.s. with a lot of tools in its tool box still. the destroyers and aircraft carriers in the mediterranean, b-2 bombers from around the world. and still plenty of targets. runaways, ammunition depots and bunkers, and, we understand, munitions factories. the delicate balance that the president has to strike is right now, he doesn't want bashar al assad to lose this war. there is no credible opposition in american position to take power. so he has to damage assad's military enough to punish them, prevent them from using chemical weapons again, while keeping him in power. it's a tough balance. right now the sense is that he backed down, the president backed down, and there is a huge sigh of relief being breathed in damascus. >> it really is the problem from

hell as has been described before, because so many people in the opposition are linked to al qaeda. let me ask you, terry, while we have you there this morning. what is the reaction in israel, our key ally in the region? >> reporter: worry. concern. this is -- came as a shock to israeli government ministers, to the israeli government and the israeli public. the israeli press this morning is full of expressions of genuine concern, that when the big battle they believe they face with iran at some point over that nuclear program comes, america will not be standing by israel's side. so there is a sense that this has long-lasting implications, especially if the united states congress does not approve the use of force. >> iran looming in the back of all of this. terry moran, thank you for your reporting from the region. we want to switch gears now because we do have another breaking story right now. after nearly three months in the

hospital, nelson mandela is going home. the former president of south africa and nobel peace prize-winner is going to be treated in his own bed in his own home. why now? and what does this say about his health? let's go to rob nelson. he's in pretoria. rob? >> reporter: good morning, dan. nelson mandela spent 86 days at the hospital in south africa. but this morning, he's back in his private home in johannesburg, where he will remain under the care of his doctors. the president of south africa released a statement hours ago ensuring he would receive the same level of care at home as he did in the hospital. the president said his home has been reconfigured to accommodate his medical needs, and the very same personnel who treated him at the hospital will be administering his care in johannesburg. there were false reports yesterday about the 95-year-old mandela being released. so the actual release that happened overnight was not a total surprise. mandela has been hospitalized since june 8th for a lung infection. there were serious fears that the world was about to lose this

towering figure. but mandela, for nearly three months now, has shown the same resilience and perseverance near death as he has throughout his life. just weeks ago in july, the country paused to celebrate his 95th birthday. and the gates outside this hospital have been adorned with posters and pictures in his honor. according to the release from the south african government, mandela has displayed grace and fortitude. we still need to remember this is a very sick man we're talking about. he does remain in critical but stable condition. dan, bianna. >> nelson mandela, quite the fighter. welcome news for his family and the people in south africa. you spent a lot of time in south africa covering that. >> finally going home. that's good news. good morning to you, bianna and dan. good morning, everyone. in the news, more breaking news. veteran british reporter david frost, best known in this country for his interviews, president richard nixon after he resigned has died.

>> you okay? we have something to cheer you up. ginger zee with the national forecast. >> i don't know if i can do that. but what i was doing all day yesterday, believe it or not, i was glued to my radar, especially in the southwest. let me show you pictures of what was happening. flash flooding in parts of southern california. this is from landers, california. this is why we tell you don't drive into flood waters. see what happens? the car gets stuck and pushed. yes, that person had to be rescued, and yes, that is going to happen again today. flash flood warnings are going to go up, probably around las vegas like they did yesterday. right there in parts of utah, arizona, and southern california. all of the humidity, the moist air that they're not used to, that's sticking in place, at least through the end of the holiday weekend. and it was unsettled all the way into the central parts of the country. a tornado reported, crystal north dakota, thank you for sending that in. erin white, from our affiliate there. and south dakota, we had tennis ball-size hail. really unsettled. but in kentucky, lexington area, i want to show you exactly what was happening. you have damage there from

damaging winds, hail, and flash flooding. i have so many pictures, it's wild, what happened across the nation. and the east coast, today, and into tomorrow, that flash flood warnings also possible. in a lot of places, it will just be thunderstorms, strong at times. key west, quickly. looking down the street, a water spout there yesterday. i have much more coming >> and here's that shot you have been waiting for all morning. we saw at the beginning of the

show, watch this. this is in taiwan. car driving along, and see that spurt over the top, land slide comes down, hits the car. and here's the kicker. >> wow! >> look at that. >> so close. they made it out. >> so close. >> they've had a typhoon in the area. they've had so, so much rain. incredible flooding. this is some of the wildest video we have seen of late. >> it's huge. >> objects in the rearview mirror may be closer than they appear. >> and the driver is okay. that's great news, too. >> thank you, ginger. incredible video. now to the police chief with a taste for foul language and youtube fame. this guy's made a series of viral videos where he shoots off his gun and fires off his mouth. now he is on the firing line himself. quite literally. he has been suspended and could get canned. linzie janis is on the story. [ gunfire ] >> reporter: the man seen here shooting off his mouth and his weapons is perhaps one of the last people you'd expect to star in a profanity-laced youtube

video. >> and that's how i handle these [ bleep ] parts. >> reporter: mark kessler is the chief of police for gilberton, pennsylvania. and this morning, he's in hot water over these videos, featuring the chief firing semi-automatic weapons while angrily arguing for the right to bear arms and against several politicians. >> ban the [ bleep ]. all right? >> reporter: the council suspended him in july, accusing him of using borough-owned weapons in the videos without permission. that suspension was set to expire this weekend, but it was extended indefinitely after kessler and his lawyer were unable to attend a council meeting. abc news spoke to him overnight. >> i didn't hurt anyone. maybe i hurt some feelings. and maybe i used some choice words that people didn't like. but that's my constitutional rights. >> reporter: and in his videos, he's anything but apologetic. >> well, i'm here to say i'm sorry. i don't think so.

this boy don't roll that way. >> reporter: the gilberton borough council says they will hear chief kessler's side of the story before making any decisions. >> the next step in our process as it moves on is to have a meeting to allow him to tell his side of the story. >> reporter: meanwhile, kessler says he has more videos in the works. >> come and get it! >> reporter: his lawyer says what his client does in his personal life has no bearing on his job. if he is terminated, he's going fight to get his job back. as for the people of the tiny borough of gilberton, they're split. some see him as a hero fighting against gun control laws, some are embarrassed he's the police chief and want him fired. >> a rambo quality to them. >> a taste for subtlety, thank you, linzie. appreciate it. >> oh, yeah. now to the young war hero serving up inspiration at the u.s. open.

despite his serious injury, he's made it all the way to the show courts, scoring points with the world's best tennis players and of course, their fans. marci gonzalez is at the billie jean king national tennis center in new york. good morning, marci. >> reporter: he has one of the best views in this place, but it's the way he sees the challenges that brought him here that's really incredible. angelo anderson never thought he would be here. on the court of the u.s. open, running alongside some of the biggest tennis champions in the world. in fact, the navy corpsman once worried he may never run again. >> at the time i didn't really see myself being athletic again. >> reporter: that time, three years ago, as he lay on the ground in afghanistan, bleeding from two gunshot wounds. >> the entry wound of the bullet was actually here. and then it exited here. >> reporter: the other bullet

shattered his femur. it's not the scar he focuses on, but the date tattooed next to it. >> the tattoo on my leg is actually my alive date. >> reporter: symbolizing not the day he almost lost his life, but the day he began fighting for it. undergoing several surgeries and six months of rehab learning to walk again. when he was asked to try out to be one of the ball persons at this year's u.s. open, he knew all that hard work had paid off. a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. a chance to inspire. >> military-wise, people who may be disabled or anything like that, please take what i'm doing as something that you can also do as well. your injury isn't the end of the world. >> reporter: his world, he says, opened up by that nightmare day on the battlefield. you think the injury was a blessing in disguise? >> yes. i can't say it's a burden or the worst thing ever. look at the opportunities i've gotten that came from it.

>> reporter: and anderson, who is still on active duty, says before this, he had no interest in tennis. never watched, never played. but now he says he's hooked and hoping to score some lessons while he's here. dan and bianna. >> great story. i love that. his alive date. >> he's earned those lessons. thank you very much. he's great. real role model. coming up here on "gma." the young woman who looks more like a model than a murder suspect. the alleged victim? her own mom. why the cops and her father thought they had prevented the violence. plus once the biggest name in sports, but this morning tim tebow is out of a job. is he now considering a career change? >> huge change for him. and coming up in pop news, what happened to little suri cruise? that's coming up. keep it here on "gma." much more to come on this very busy sunday morning. we're back soon. wow, this is good, mom. yeah.
