i have a comment about john bolton. we cannot continue to engage in awning any country on suspicion. there must be an investigation ,o determine who is responsible because right now there is no due process of law and we have a that demands see whytcause we are proposing a un-sponsored investigation where the russians and the chinese and the europeans are going to participate, because that is what we are doing right now, that's what's becoming of this great nation. we should stick to due process of law, it is important. host: the president yesterday tweeting about what happened in syria over the weekend. "many dead, including women in children, in mindless area of the track, area of atrocities on lockdown, making it inaccessible to the outside world. president putin, russia, and he forn are responsible backing the animal assad. big price to pay." "another humanitarian disaster for no reason what wever." several tweets yesterday about syria, one more thing that president obama crossed is dated redline in the sand. morning

john bolton, with the bolton project at cambridge analytica and bolton data at cambridge analytica and his link with the nra and russian politicians, john bolton is right in the middle of this stuff, too. and maybe that's what he's talking with the white house lawyers about, ahead of his start date on monday. but this is starting to get weird. h.r. mcmaster is going out with a bang. john bolton does appear to be on his way in, but i think that is becoming a more complicated prospect than might be broadly appreciated. all right, got lots more to get to tonight, including, i'm very happy to tell you, we have an exclusive interview with someone who has made no public comments since leaving government service months ago. he's going to give his first exclusive tv interview to us tonight. it's a surprise. that's next. stay with us. -if you told me a year ago where i'd be right now... aah! ...i would have said you were crazy. but so began the year of me. i discovered the true meaning of paperless discounts... and the indescribable rush of saving drivers an average of $620. why does fear feel

that's all about john bolton. whose super pac was megafunded to the tune of multi-million donations from trump donor robert mercer. and what the pac did with the donations is in large part he spent those dollars with robert mercer's company, cambridge analytica, who was, at the time, testing out its new techniques about how they were going to use all these tens of millions of stolen data files from facebook users and turn them around and use them in an election on behalf of republican candidates. and you can see in these documents from the whistle blower, cambridge analytica, hustling to get john bolton exactly what he needs. at one point they are worried that he quote, seemed a little bit pissed off, which does fit with his reputation. it's pretty well documented history of him screaming his lungs out at people and chasing them down hallways. so john bolton is now, according to cnbc today, reportedly in conversations with white house lawyers about potential conflicts of interest, about whether his pac and super p

here's one last thing to watch when it comes to john bolton. he has only been on the job for three weeks now but since he has been there, the people who had previously been charged with national security issues at the white house, they've been dropping like flies. i'm going to have to use the wall here for a second. ready? ready? take dramamine. we're moving. since john bolton arrived, in the past three weeks, we have seen the departure of the spokesman for the national security council. he announced that he was resigning when bolton came on board but it later emerged that he didn't have a choice. he was told resign today or be fired. the next we were told about the departure of the white house homeland security adviser, tom bossert. he's out too. then next it was a very highly regarded deputy national security adviser over here, this would be the -- one of several who have already departed. she wrote the current national security strategy. she was pushed out once bolton arrived as well. soon to be followed by yet another deputy national securi

mcmaster, the new national security advisor john bolton is due to start on monday. you probably want to stick a pin in that for now because there are questions about john bolton starting on monday. real questions out of today's news and we'll get to that in a minute with rolling stone reporter tim dickinson tonight. before we get to the substantive issue of john bolton taking this job and the question of if that's going to work, also just consider the immediate timeline here and when we got that footage today of mcmaster leaving and staff applauding him and everything, that was not a show. he left. he's actually gone. john bolton we're told is due to start first thing monday morning. is anybody working? there is no national security advisor? hold tight. hold tight because there is a lot of international eye poking going on right now including the president trying to start this trade war with china. you saw the markets go off a cliff again today because of that. the president of mexico is even keel about president trump and making stern nationally televised denounceu

john bolton as the new national security advisor. thank you, jennifer. for more let's bring in a former green beret commander and g.o.p. congressional candidate in florida. always great to see you. i want to start, why are they are still chemical weapons being used inside syria? i thought we had handled that, we've been reporting in 2015, 2016, 2017 that they were taken out to that u.s. aircraft carrier and destroyed. what's going on? >> if you will remember, we were poised to essentially take down their air force, we had multiple destroyers and cruisers along with several submarines. john kerry had almost told the world that we were about to take this action as a result of syria crossing the redline years ago and we didn't because of russia's assurances that they would ensure the regime destroyed other chemical weapons. in the years passed, they have repeatedly used chemical weapons. let me tell you, why these are so insidious. these poor people are going to basements and low-lying areas to avoid the aerial bombardment and artillery shelling that's goin

john bolton arriving on monday. he prepared his whole life for this job but said nothing. you can only have one national security adviser. what do you expect out of john bolton in the first week and month of his tenure as national security adviser? >> i expect quite a bit. john bolton has one thing that a lot of trump appointees have not had and that is extensive experience working the bureaucracy. and i think bolton is going to be able to implant himself and start shaping what the national security council personnel looked like, more america firsters and protecting them, their positions. and also he's going to be able to play the inter agency process pretty well vis-a-vis mike pompeo, who will be secretary of state we presume. and mattis. he will become an essential member of the trump administration. >> alaina, last word to you. among those congress people concerned with foreign affairs, are he this welcoming of john bolton's arrival like i am from the regan era. we're clapping and applauding. how about up on the hill? >> hugh, i have heard nothing but enthusiasm, especi

and john bolton is a very tough bureaucratic fighter. he learned at the knee of one of the best, james baker, the former bush secretary of state. he has sharp elbows and he is going to protect his territory. >> what do you make of a president who thrives on chaos, playing each other off. whatever word people want to put around it. letting nikki haley flail and be brought down by larry kudlow who i'm sure felt very, very upset when haley was mad at him. i'm sure larry felt upset about that. he is a gentleman. but the president had no problem with any of that. having all these people think he is reporting to him but it's not clear and playing off each other. and they're the new guy so they're the favorite. how long does it last? >> i'm not sure any of that was deliberate. what happened is i think the president changed his mind of the policy of the russian sanctions that had been briefed to nikki haley. she goes out and dually talks about them. she feels she was thrown under the bus. >> she was thrown under the bus. so she pushesback agains

will our new adviser john bolton have to ask for his video back. joining us, the author of this article in the "rolling stone." mr. dickinson, thank you for joining us. >> i think one of the things that been missing in this talk about torshin is how big a figure he was in the russian senate. he was their number two and briefly rose to be their acting chairman. he was briefly mitch mcconnell essentially. and torshin was there in 2014 when russia was officially annexing crimea. he appeared at the signing ceremony with vladimir putin. this guy is a big deal in russian politics, far apart from any of the scandal we're talking about. there was a plausible reason to sanction him back in 2014. other high level officials were sanctioned then. the question this raises for me is why no, why is he getting targeted now? and steven mnuchin talked in pretty broad terms about russia's maligned influence, including its interference in western elections. it seemed to me that i think the right question is does someone in the administration have other information tha

in practice, we know from john bolton's history that is not his intention at all. his intention is to push forward any forces within the intelligence community -- whichever agencies or agency it may be -- who are pushing for war, rather than diplomacy. this is someone who scorned diplomacy, who disdains the united nations or international law, who is never met in international issue or challenge or crisis that did not require a u.s. military solution. so that is one part of the danger. on top of that, you have this in norman's need for distraction -- enormous need for distraction. with the headlines today all focused on the raid on terms private lawyer, he is one to want to turn attention away from that. what better way to do that historically but to go to war somewhere. it is a very dangerous moment. it could mean a small scale, essentially symbolic response against this alleged chemical weapons attack. we should be clear despite the fact in the second that you just played in the run-up of trump saying "we are still finding out about it, we're talking about a," wi

one man who will help shape the president's decision, john bolton. his new job as national security adviser today. i have a great team to break all of this down. let's explain what's going on. later today, the u.n. security council will hold a meeting to discuss the international response to saturday's suspected chemical attack in syria. aid groups are accusing president assad of using chemical weapons to suffocate dozens of his own people in a rebel-held neighborhood near damascus. assad's regime denies it. but president trump did not wait long to respond. on sunday morning, he lashed out at assad, as well as russian president vladimir putin. that is not worthy. and assad supporters deciding there will be consequences for his actionings. his team did not rule out a military response. >> this is one of those issues on which every nation, all peoples, have all agreed, and have agreed since world war ii, is an unacceptable process. >> if the president decides to act, he could do it quickly. following a similar chemical attack last year. he waited less

this is the stuff that john bolton has been selling for years. which is what it is, but what does it mean to the french president to be visiting our president, who -- to be the top macron, president -- we have that last one there? presidents of the elites and the islami islamists john bolden's organization has a line like this for everyone. germany seems to be an area of particular focus. germany, infectious disease is spreading as migrants settle in, germany my grant rape crisis sowing terror and crisis, here's one in the uk -- is the united kingdom a islamist colony? here's another great headline from john bolton's gatestone -- europe -- the great white death? that means exactly what you think it does. until he took hi job as national security divorce three weeks ago john bolton was running this organization that was proclaiming that white people are a the way to being extinguished because of immigration. the great white death. arguments like these that open societies are dangerous and democracy is a failure, and white people are going to die o

in practice, we know from john bolton's history that is not his intention at all. his intention is to push forward any forces within the intelligence community -- whichever agencies or agency it may be -- who are pushing for war, rather than diplomacy. this is someone who scorned diplomacy, who disdains the united nations or international law, who is never met in international issue or challenge or crisis that did not require a u.s. military solution. so that is one part of the danger. on top of that, you have this in norman's need for distraction -- enormous need for distraction. with the headlines today all focused on the raid on terms private lawyer, he is one to want to turn attention away from that. what better way to do that historically but to go to war somewhere. it is a very dangerous moment. it could mean a small scale, essentially symbolic response against this alleged chemical weapons attack. we should be clear despite the fact in the second that you just played in the e run-up of trump saying "we are still finding out about it, we're talking about a,"

bolton. >> nbc news review finds that from 2013 until last month, basically meaning now, john bolton chair add non-profit that has promoted misleading and false -- remember what misleading and false mean? lies. absolute lies. it was a site that was basically anti-muslim news. some was amplified by a russian troll factory. the non-profit is the gatestone institution. it is based here in new york city. it warns of a looming, quote, jihadist takeover of europe, leading to a, quote, great white death. >> this is the national security adviser. the report is the work of nbc news national political reporter heidi, who joins us now. great reporting on this. tell us more about the gatestone institution and john bolton's connection to it. >> reporter: right. we have exclusive, new details about this institute, which has been written about as an anti-muslim think tank. what we found, based on our exclusive reporting, is by cross-matching some of the information that was coming out from gatestone, that some of this information was amplified across europe and the u.s. by a russian -- confirmed ru

kennedy: john bolton may be a hawkish person, but he's also really smart. the great jettest dane injuries spending way more time there. >> john bolton has never reckoned with the cost of occupation or exit strategies ever. we remember when he would refuse to apologize any mistakes the united states might have made policy-wise with iraq. we missed our opportunity to nation build if that was the mission. kennedy: maybe with a commander-in-chief who pivots towards let's spend the money over here instead getting zero return on investments. it will be interesting to see how they reconcile that part of this his world view. this is campaign trump. we are not the world's policemen, but you listen to him on ker north korea or iran. the john bolton hire will be interesting. >> the rhetoric had a lot to do with the clear enemy. kennedy: we are up against a hard break and we'll have to discuss our hard enemies. coming up, president trump waging war on jeff bezos continuing his attacks on amazon today. who wins and who loses when the president takes on the tech presiden

caller: i think john bolton is a choice, very honest, and transparent. i think that is what the trump administration needs right now with what he is faced with with china and north korea. i have a comment on the audience you are reaching. i have been watching you since you started, and your audience has changed. they have become very vicious. i think that is what has bush c-span to biasd that has been showing. even the weekend programming has leaned to the left. that is what i have interpreted c-span has become. host: appreciate the comment. we do our best not to have a bias here. we create a form and allow you to express your opinions no matter what side of the aisle you sit on. john bolton's first day of the job, donald trump's or national security advisor. take us through what you see his first day looking like. guest: he will certainly know his way around the white house and the federal bureaucracy. he was the u.s. ambassador during the george w. bush years. no one is disputing his qualifications at all. he is incredibly knowledgeable. the approach i

what changes when john bolton meets in that official capacity. how much do you think things will change at 1600 pennsylvania avenue tomorrow? >> ambassador bolton brings a lot of support from republicans up on capitol hill, and quite frankly is in line with the likes of the republicans that katy so rightfully just pointed out. look, david, president trump received very high marks just the other year when he was down in mar ao with japanese prime minister abe, and they were having dinner, bob kraft was there. the president ultimately decided to issue a response in syria in response to the horrific tragic images of children being impacted by a chemical attack. then, of course, you flash forward a year later. we just heard this from hagar about how the continuation needs to be continued. this comes at a time which president trump also issuing the dramatic sanctions with regard to russia, that earned bipartisan praise. for all intends an purposes russian spies. this is without question, the first test for john bolton tomorrow on his first day, as kat

bolton who his entire career has been terribly skeptical of diplomacy and distrustful of north korea and so it'll be interesting to see that i don't explain how it let me get robert kennedy's use on that i saw you smile robert when i mentioned john bolton's name how is the trump administration going to be speaking with one voice on this issue what is his strategy going to be going forward yeah well the time ministration probably won't speak with one voice i mean this is i think it's pretty well established now after fifteen months that the charm going to stray sion is perpetually chaotic and that's one of my big concerns actually but the trump him summit is that we just don't know we're going to get on the president's going to go all kinds of conflicting advice is going through all kinds of stuff on twitter he's not really going to read his briefing notes you know he doesn't read a great deal he might just walk in there and who knows what he's going to say. my my big concern in terms of football and specifically in the trump ministration is that if this thing really goes badly if it

>> john bolton argued that it's legitimate for the u.s. to respond to north korea's nuclear weapons program by striking first. do you agree with that? >> again, i don't want to weigh into a hypothetical about what conditions it might be appropriate or not appropriate. we're a long ways from that. we're working diplomatically to get the right outcome in north korea. >> john bolton argued that cuba was developing biological weapons and it was appropriate for the united states to go to war against cuba. did you agree with him on that? >> senator, i'm not going to -- his words speak for themselves. >> they speak for him but he's not here. i want to understand your opinion. >> i'm deeply aware of that. i'm sorry, might you ask -- is there a factual predicate there about cubans and weapons? >> did you agree with bolton's viewpoint that we should go to war with cuba? >> no, senator. i haven't at any time said i believe we should go to war with cuba. >> how about with regard his belief that hussain had hidden weapons of mass destruction and we sho

so john bolton what we call say into the job really grasping the nettle. that's right and it was a big question martine when john bolton was first announced as the new national security advisor what impact that would have on the ministration stance on russia and now there is some indication that now in his second week on the job that bolton has been pushing for a more aggressive response here the white house says that he met with the russian ambassador in the white house today and during that meeting expressed hopes for the both countries to have improved relationships but also laid out a series of needs that the u.s. has for russia to address before the relationship can improve and that it on top of that list would be addressing the election meddling in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential elections as well as the attack on the former russian spy in the u.k. and the situation in ukraine and in syria now it is not unheard of not uncommon in fact for trump to undercut his advisors after they've made a public statement we just saw that earlier this

looks like john bolton is cleaning house, if you will. >> it is concerning that john bolton seems to be swiftly moving towards an early retirement. several of the president's advisors among them. the previous national security team around the president included some folks like general h.r. mcmaster who were a leveling or balancing force with decades of experience in our military. john bolton is fairly seasoned and experienced. i'm concerned his positions have been to advocate for regime change and military strikes. he may be one of the few people to believe the war in iraq was a good idea. >> thanks for taking time for us. >> thank you. >> russia has been jamming the gps of drones over syria. how can this affect our action? >> it has a real significant impact on u.s. military oern operations in syria. what this means is there's a signal that comes from a gps satellite that the drones receive that tells the operators back on the ground where the drones are, what their position is and tells the drone where to continue to go on its course. if the signal is interrupted which is what the

john bolton is now the national security adviser who was the fellow who who really really wanted us to go into iraq on the premise that there was the i think that the administration is slowly turning toward regime change again i think that that's what they're they're going to go after and the whole idea i think as far as a strategic policy if there is one for the united states ultimately is to divide syria yeah well then that's been you know that's the if you can throw in the turkish angle which of course is a completely different program but you know it looks like is partition is really what they're going to settle on here you know joe the interesting thing is is that you know i've never believed that anybody in the u.s. government or politicians think tankers and all of that they don't give a hoot about the syrian people they never have and what i see now is that this is a geo political gambit here we've noticed that russia is being held responsible for this alleged chemical attack which when there is no evidence proof presented to the to the public which i guess the public is just g

john bolton has never met a war he didn't like. here he finds himself in a situation where he has a president who wants to walk away from a war and leave the field to a country, iran, that bolton loathes with every fiber of his being. it's not a question of who thinks what in the cabinet. any given day, any given hour, it's about how the president of the united states feels. >> not only that john bolton, but donald trump's good friends, the saudis loathe as well. >> the saudis would not like to see the united states walk out of syria and leave the battleground to iran. so this is -- he con found -- every time he speaks out he confounds his allies a. that's the crucial thing, the president saying something and the president doing something as we've seen over and over again, not necessarily the same thing. >> two very different things. bobby ghosh, thank you. jennifer and keir will join me again later in the show. we'll take a hop down memory lane next. if yor crohn's symptoms are holding you back, and your current treatment hasn't w

to john's point and what john bolton was saying in that clip is we may find and this administration says assad is a bad guy and we will take action to put him back in his box if he crosses the line on chemical weapons. we're not going to throw them out of power. we would rather live with assad and have syria be isis free. that is in our national security, rather than take on the big fight of assad is and what comes next. >> i agree. go back and look at what the president said a year ago. i would be looking for the same kind of logic this time around, trying to find a way to recertified that national security interest and nothing more. >> that logic is depending on the united nations making the same determination and asking for international action. it never happened. i don't know how that gives a legal basis. this isn't going away. we'll talk about it again. >>> would congress authorize force in syria if it came to a vote? alright, i brought in high protein to help get us moving. ...and help you feel more strength and energy in just two weeks! i'll take that. -yeeeeeah! ensure high prote

>> john bolton argued that it's legitimate for the u.s. to respond to north korea's nuclear weapons program by striking first. do you agree with that? >> again, i don't want to wade into a hypothetical about what conditions it might be appropriate, not appropriate. we're a long ways from that. >> john bolton argued that cuba was developing bye logical weapons and it was appropriate for the united states to go to war against cuba. did you agree with him? >> senator, i'm not going to -- his words speak for himself. >> no, it speaks for him, but he's not here. you're here. >> i am deeply aware of that. there's a factual -- >> did you agree we should go to war with cuba? >> no, senator. >> how about -- >> i haven't at any time said we should go to war with cuba. >> how about in regard to his beliefs that hussein had hidden weapons of mass destruction and we should go to war with iraq? >> senator, i think -- i may not have expanded efetch ain't he. i've read the history. the intelligence community had that assessment and was incorrect about its

amy: that was john bolton last year. jamal abdi, your response? >> john bolton was delivering a speech to this organization that has been described by state department, human rights watch, ke rand as a cult-li organization that has engaged in terrorism. bolton was taking speaking fees to speak for this group when they were considered by the united states government to be a foreign terrorist organization. , it is extremely dangerous. they now have access to the white house. they have abused their members. the organization has had operations inside of iraq to try to go into iran to wage the swelling campaigns. and if this is the party that the trump administration is investing in a sort of the iraqi national congress, as was the case in the lead up to the iraq war, i don't think this is going to resonate at all with anybody inside of iran. it is a reviled group ephod alongside saddam hussein. group that fought alongside saddam hussein. i think it is very scary what they may be willing to do in order to frustrate u.s. interest with iran and potential

it remains to be seen whether john bolton will do that. i do think with what we know about the way he conducts himself, he's not liking to be much of a check on the president's impulses, which are, as you said, a little schizophrenic sometimes. it's america first and we need to take care of ourselves at home, but also in some cases very hawkish, that we need to strike out. we also know that john bolton in the past has advocated against helping with syria in the chemical attack. but he's also advocated the legal case for a preemptive strike there, and now that the president will be engaging in these talks, we think possibly, in the next seven weeks. it will be interesting to see how he tries to fit himself into the debate. >> since leaving the george w. bush administration, he's been on fox news quite frequently, he writes for the journal and "new york times." if you pick up the "wall street journal," he says, the legal case for striking north korea first, and to stop iran's bomb, bomb iran. he's making his case here. he says, yeah, i was o

it is john bolton's first day. he's a hawk on russia. how is he going to be influencing the president? >> well, to put it this way, john bolton is sort of overly simplistic terms is never not hawkish. that is almost always the position he is pushing. he's sort of saber rattling and bellicose. so that's what the president is going to be hearing from him. i have to say, the president on one hand, he likes that tough talk, and he sometimes likes being forceful. but in a lot of ways, ideologically, he and john bolton actually diverge. the president says america first is his view and we should be in less foreign conflicts. he's wanted us to withdraw from syria. so the president is going to hear some of the tough talk he likes from his new national security advisor. but on these particular chemical attacks the president has been more willing to be forceful but everything he hears is not going to be in line with what he necessarily feels in his gut, and so it is an open question as to how influential bolton will be able to be on all these issue

his new national security adviser john bolton, his first day on the job is today. abby philip, cnn, white house. shy. meantime, moscow is calling the reports of a chemical attack a hoax. a statement from the foreign ministry said syrian government troops are liberating civilians from the control of terrorists and militants. >> the statement goes on to warn this. using far-fetched and fabricated pretexts for military intervention in syria where russian servicemen are deployed at the request of the legitimate government is absolutely unacceptable and can lead to the most serious consequences. >> and for more on this we are joined by amy green in paris. she is an american political science researcher. thank you so much for being with us. >> hi, rosemary. thank you. >> now, in a tweet, president trump warned russia and syria and iran there is a big price to pay for the alleged chemical weapons attack in douma. but how politically sensitive could this prove to be, coming just days after mr. trump said he wants u.s. troops out of syria? >> it's a tricky approximately. th

we heard that from john bolton. they will not give concessions before they see physical evidence. >> we will hear they will unify time zones. they were a half hour apart. there were reports of the mountain where they tested was ready to collapse. do you know anything about that? >> reporter: that's right. this is what we heard from chinese biologists. they say it is irrelevant because it is not able to be used. kim jong-un addressed that. he said that is not true. he said we have two more tunnels we never told you about which are in good condition. they will still shutdown. >> hence the importance of of journalists. paula, thank you. >>> reports this morning say white house physician ronny jackson is not going back to his old position. he withdrew his application of v.a. secretary after the allegations he emerged. an official told cnn that jackson returned to the medical unit, but not as the president's doctor. >> sean connolly will take over the job. and the president called on the democrat tester to resign after g

answer, their lips are moving. >> that was obviously before john bolton became the national security adviser. he's now working on this meeting. given all the broken promises we have seen on the nuclear issue under president clinton, bush, president obama. three different north korean leaders now. can you really trust anything that comes out of a meeting with kim jong-un? >> jonathan, this administration has its eyes wide open. we know the history. we know the risks. we're going to be very different. we're going to negotiate in a different way than has been done before. we're going to require the steps. we use the word irreversible with great intention. we're going to require the steps that demonstrate that denuclearization is going to be achieved. we're not going take promises. we're not going to take words. we're going to look for actions and deeds. until such time, we'll keep the pressure campaign in place until we achieve that. that's different. and so, in each case, both countries have to do more than words. we'll have to deliver an outcome that is the one that kim jong-un and i

but i'm going to go back to what john bolton said. seen a lot of words but not seen a lot of action. so there's an opportunity, but there's really no evidence that north korea is really going to make the actual changes that we need to see. i went again to south korea after our trip in february. we went to the olympics, and there you had that standoff between mike pence and kim jong-un's sister, and it was clear then that the u.s. was in a position because the south koreans have taken this process way ahead of where we wanted, that we had a choice. we could either try to go with the south koreans and see it through or we could just throw up our hands which is a path that leads to war, so the trump administration made the right choice. they decided to explore whether peace is possible. all of us have to sort of support that. at the same time, until we see actual signs, actual actions by the north koreans, all of us should remember that we've seen this movie before and we should go into it with that in mind. >> i think that movie was set

hating people she is the worst diplomat on the face of the planet now we have john bolton who is the national security adviser who works right out of the white house directly under the president john bolton is one of the people who walked this into the iraq war. iraq had never done anything to us was never a threat to us and since then we've killed a million innocent people in iraq and this is the same john bolton normally people who fail disappear into history but not in foreign affairs if you fail then you typically advance yourself but i worry about the war cabinet that surrounds donald trump and constantly pushing. interwar the one exception is general mattis maddest made a very interesting statement and this was just last month and he said he said the anonymous states cannot confirm that syria has ever used chemical weapons and says we have reports from the battlefield from people who claim it's been used but we have no evidence of it this is exactly the situation in duma and the united states has no excuse for going in there and and frankly the people the terrorists to do more
