Martha Raddatz
Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI)
Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD)
Jeffrey Goldberg
Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL)
Stephanopoulos: good morning –
ha ha Washington had its
prom night for
nerds who didn't go to
their first one
Audience: ha
Stephanopoulos: Martha did
Syria
use chemical weapons?
Raddatz: yes they probably
definitely used sarin
Stephanopoulos: are the
experts sure?
Raddatz: yes almost
certainly probably
Stephanopoulos:
Congressman
are you persuaded?
Rogers: yes because action
must be taken
– North Korea is paying
attention!
Stephanopoulos: are you
sure?
Rogers: yes but it was a
small amount of sarin
Stephanopoulos: does that
make sense?
Ruppersberger: it doesn't
matter –
we have to act or we will
look like wimps
in front of the Russians
Stephanopoulos: no one
wants that
Rogers: there's a
humanitarian crisis –
who cares if there are
chemical weapons –
we need to look tough to
the Iranians!
Goldberg: Obama laid down
a red line here –
if Obama looks indecisive
Iran will nuke America!
Raddatz: you know wars can
sometimes be bad
Rogers: no!
Raddatz: the difference
here is Bush wanted
a war with Iraq but Obama
wants to avoid war
Rogers: the Arab League
wants us
to start a war – we have
to go in now!
Stephanopoulos: I'm sold
Rogers: Israel, Turkey –
they all agree
– America must attack!
Ruppersberger: what if
Assad falls –
the chemical weapons could
fall
in the wrong hands
Stephanopoulos: good point
Ruppersberger: I don't
think we should
start a war based on how
it looks to
our other buddy neighbors
Goldberg: the ultimate
nightmare is the
marriage of al-qaeda and
weapons
of mass destruction
Stephanopoulos: the GOP
told us
gay marriage would lead to
this
Raddatz: Assad is testing
us by
experimenting with
chemical weapons
Stephanopoulos: like when
kids
experiment with drugs
Schakowsky: war is messy
Rogers: no one is calling
for U.S. troops
– we just need to train
Syrian forces
Stephanopoulos: yes they
seem
to really need training
Stephanopoulos: what about
the Boston bombings?
Rogers: the Russians need
to step up and
tell us what Tamerlan was
doing there
Stephanopoulos: they
wiretapped the
mother and she sounds a
bit crazy
Schakowsky: calm down -
this is an
incredibly thorough
investigation
Ruppersberger: I have
decided
it's all Russia's fault
Raddatz: he was
radicalized here in America
Goldberg: you don't have
to go to
Russia to be radicalized –
you can
do it on the Internet
Stephanopoulos: but they
must have help
– those bombs cost at
least $100
Rogers: they must have
been taught to be
radicals by Russians –
otherwise it's our fault
Ruppersberger: the general
public has
to let the CIA know when
the next
bombing is going to happen
Schakowsky: were the dots
not connected?
Stephanopoulos: did the
FBI drop the ball?
Rogers: the FBI can't just
investigate
whoever whenever
Stephanopoulos: that gives
me a sad
Goldberg: the FBI doesn't
have the power
to investigate for no
reason and they
don't have the manpower if
they did
Stephanopoulos: but second-guessing
is so much fun
Goldberg: only Islam can
fix Islam!
Stephanopoulos: and we're
done
