>> president obama goes into syria for one reason, to stabilize syria or the middle east. by doing so, i believe, and so do the american people believe, that by doing so he's going to have the opposite effect. he's going to destabilize the region. >> you believe we do not act -- every other despot in the world will not feel they can use them with impunity? >> i don't believe that's the case. >> you said iraq, afghanistan, didn't seem to have any effect. it was a precedent that didn't matter to bashar al assad because he didn't seem in any way dissuaded from acting in the way he does. >> what did you mean by that? >> i'm just saying the threat of america doing something had no effect on assad's dealing and, you know, perhaps 100,000 deaths in this country -- >> can we take a step back? if the american people don't want it, why are we doing it? why would we say, go ahead, president obama, risk our money, risk our lives. what's the point? >> there's too much confusion behind it because no one has a clear answer. >> the american people didn't want medicare either. >> did he no

>> so far syria has condemned the attack, but syria and iran have an alliance, and iran said that any attack on syrian soil would be an attack on iran. but so far neither syria or iran have responded. but we're entering a new and very dangerous stage in middle east conflicts if weapons are being transferred, this could be a big development and not one for the better >> shep: it could be a game changer for the israelis. >>> this out of arizona, cops searching for the gunman who opened fire in an office complex and shot three people. and trace gallagher has more. >> outasked about a motive at the top of the show, shep, and we heard from the cbs affiliate in phoenix, and this could be a legal dispute, we thought it was the title office, buff apparently there was a legal office inside of that building, and that could be the focus of this, and after that mediation meeting, the suspect grabbed the gun and opened fire. but there were three separate scenes, and one of them said to be in extremely critical condition. the suspect's home is about 7 miles from the crime scene, and now the police

or bomb syria. clearly, there have to be other choices in between. we ought to explore them. >> i just wish the president had laid this out better. i wish he'd quick bagging away from his own red line. i wish he were more a commander in chief than a community organizer. >> the debate begins as early as tomorrow. >> thank you, steve. tomorrow, as lawmakers consider a possible military strike on syria, president obama will sit down with chris wallace. now that interview will air during a special report with brett bear on monday, 6:00 p.m. eastern time. all of this in advance of the president's address to the nation on tuesday night. fox news will bring you complete coverage starting at 9:00 p.m. eastern time. >>> to vatican city for you, pope francis thanking those who joined him in a prayer for peace for syria last night. he presided over a four-hour vigil in stat peter's square. and today, he condemned the selling of weapons, wondering if the desire to make money is fueling wars in the world. >>> as we follow the crisis in syria, we also remember the

great to have you here. >> thank you. . >> good, let's look at syria. first, a year ago, i think it was, president obama famously said their use of chemical weapons would be a red line that syria shouldn't cross and would have consequences. what is bashar assad's consequences that he's willing to cross that line? >> what happened recently was the sixth attack and now a pattern is emerging, each attack has been bigger than the previous one. so he has been testing both the international and public opinion, the united states resolve and also how far he can go inside syria. now we can establish that pattern quite clearly. >> so he figures he's testing the u.s. and so he thinks he can move ahead as he wants to do, that's how you would see it? >> and also, you know, in every case, government media are supporters of the government to leaf the areas targeted before, sometimes they wait for several weeks and then they attack. in every case they attack places picked by the up discussiopposie rebels, to keep the rebels from creating a government. so it is clear th

missile strikes on syria in return for syria turning over all its chemical weapons to international weapons inspectors to be destroyed. it all started out as an answer to a question in london this morning by his secretary of state, john kerry. >> is there anything at this point that his government could do or offer that would stop an attack? >> sure. he could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week, turn it over. all of it. without delay and allow a full and total accounting for that. but he isn't about to do it and it can't be done, obviously. >> the state department quickly called that a rhetorical argument and not a real proposal from kerry. but within a few hours, the russian foreign minister turned kerry's answer into a concrete proposal that suddenly started gaining traction around the world and on capitol hill. shortly after that announcement, syria's foreign minister released a statement lacking details but saying syria welcomes the russian proposal. and shortly after that, the united nations secretary general, ban ki-moon,

they see syria as a test run for iran. they see the u.s. hesitation will embolden nuclear ambitions. the larger question being asked, is the u.s. still a super power trying to impose some sort of order in a chaotic middle east. also the question in israel and across the middle east is will america come to the aid of its closest allies like israel, like jordan and like turkey. this move to postpone the strike in syria is only raising further questions about the obama white house. now, in syria government officials there taking a much more up beat stance, declaring victory as a result of this delay by the obama white house. president assad insisting that syria will not be discouraged by its principles. of course, the syrian military is still on high alert. back to you. >> thanks so much. now live to the united nations where a spokesman is briefing reporters. >> strictly adhering to the highest established standards of verification recognized by the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons. in light of the horrendous magnitude of t

another day of huge developments concerning syria. the united nation security council meeting today. secretary of state john kerry is about to leave for a trip to meet the russians and now, new warnings that a strike on syria could lead to an arms race with iran. americans across the nation today remembering those lost in the september 11th attacks on new york, at the pentagon and shanksville, pennsylvania. even after 12 years, tears show the healing isn't over. >> fox news obtained state department memos that describe the, quote, substandard security all ahead unless breaking news changes everything on "studio b." >>> first from fox at 3:00, the russians reportedly handed over their plan for syria as the united states puts the war talk on hold. at least for now, in hopes of a peaceful solution. the secretary of state john kerry set to travel to switzerland tonight to meet with counterparts from russia and syria. they'll hash out russia's proposal to put syria's chemical weapons under international control. at the united nations, the

honestly, i don't support the use of force in syria. but it's a good reason for the president to have made up his mind what he wanted to do in the first place. and then gone and done it. as the saying goes, better to ask forgiveness than ask permission. >> the president will speak to the nation on tuesday night. what do you want to hear and what could he say, ambassador, that could potentially change your mind? >> well, i don't think given his lack of leadership to date there's anything he could say to change my mind. in fact, it's the fecklessness, the continued dithering and flip-flopping that worries me even more. it's as if the president thinks that as he sees the horrible use of chemical weapons, he asserts that an american trik of sostri undefined proportion can act as a retribution for the use of chemical weapons and then everything will be over. that is simply not the reality we live in. and it's the lack of strategic focus of the president's remarks, his diplomacy, his politics here at home, that leave me very worried. i've tho

there is a tragedy in syria but i hope we find a way to stay out of it. i think the market does as well. >> that has to be the last word. >>> forget ditching class. how about skipping college all together? a growing trend some are blaming on student aid as your life changes, fidelity is there r your personal economy, helping you readjust along the way, refocus as careers change and kids head off to college, and revisit your investments as retirement gets closer. wherever you are today, fidelity's guidance can help you fine-tune your personal economy. start today with a free one-on-one review of your retirement plan. how long have you got on your battery? just about two days. with up to 48 hours of battery life, it's the longest lasting 4g lte smartphone. the new droidmaxx by . when endurance matters. droid does. . >>> coming up, forget about dropping out of college. this >>> remember that? not since that song topped the charts have we seen this on college campuses. the number of people enrolling in school actually dropping. the last time that happened was

>> let's go to syria first. syria didn't sign it so there's no way they're going to be enforced. they didn't sign it, they're not beholden to it. hypothetically you'd have to get two-thirds of the u.n. national security to vote on some kind of enforcement. but i read anything about it and the enforcement there's no teeth to it. well, they'll make some recommendations on what to do. >> so the world signed this but it's a symbolic thing. >> right. >> could he be charged with war crimes at the hague? could they get him for gassing kids? >> good luck. the u.n. security council would have to make some kind of recommendation. and on there you have russia and china -- >> you have milosevic in the baltics and they have him because he was ethnic cleansing and -- >> but you didn't have to get him to cooperate. you have to get russia to make him do what russia wants and say agree to sign on to this and get rid of the weapons and supervise it through the u.n. >> but you're always going back to the u.n. >> so this chemical treaty is a bunch of baloney. it doesn't mean anything to anybody? >>

if we attack syria, we are targeted the assad regime. say we overthrow the regime, which appears to be their aim at some point. what comes next and why aren't we talking about what comes next? is that not important? >> this is the problem again with the obama administration. the president and our secretary of state. we don't know what their plans are. what they're trying to accomplish. the only thing it sounds like they're trying to accomplish is to fire off the few missiles, dust up some dirt over there and then claim victory. all at the same time saying we're not going to have regime change. we're not going to put boots on the ground. the president can't make that promise to the american people. he doesn't know what the consequences of those actions are going to be and i agree with dennis. i think the president must go to the congress. he must ask for approval on this. the american people deserve it. the congress deserves it. and the world deserves it. >> just to be clear, i don't think we're even capable of bombing chemical weapons su

what does the policy in syria tell the iranians comes to building a possible bomb? john bolton and senior fellow at american enterprise institute joins us. good morning, ambassador. they are learning and what do you think they are writing down in memos today in tehran? >> i think they are seeing the president's red line looks to be written in invisible ink. it's very significant. president obama made his first trip to israel as president a few weeks ago. behind the scenes comments meetings with israeli officials. he stressed over and over again the mantra that all options are on the table regarding iran's nuclear weapons program. he pushed the israelis as he has in the first four years for them not to use preemptive military force. left them with a clear impression that the united states would do whatever it took including military force to stop iran from achieving that objective. i think he was never serious about that regardless of my feelings, when you see this red line disappear, you have to believe that both israelis on one hand and iranian leaders on the other

so keeping syria and humiliating the united states is part of that strategy. >> what about syria? the president dar not having arms. and the same day that they announced this change, president didn't do it himself. he sent his deputy of national security adviser to his -- to -- alert the press of this change. they almost undercut same day by saying he was reluctant do it and wants to get assad to the negotiating table. undercut the message on syria. how seriously should we take this arming decision? >> that's a very good decision. that's kind of a recurring problem of this president. what's the level of his commitment? is he in or out? somewhere in between. people feel he is often in between. secretary of state, john kerry is about to go on an overseas trip. he is visiting seven different countries in a two-week period. starting starting starting in qatr. but to talk as well, again, about drawing russia into negotiations in geneva. that has to confuse every party involved in what is going on in syria. what exactly do they want? >> especially so because -- what's the incentive for
