Assad: I’m no “butcher,” I’m like a doctor who saves livesAssad: U.S. does not have “a single shred of evidence” of chemical weapons attackBashar Assad tells Charlie Rose U.S. should “expect every action” in response to Syria strikesComplete CBSNews.com coverage: Syria crisis The Syrian president again called on the U.S. and Congress to present hard evidence proving a chemical attack was launched within Syria and warned that a strike against Syria would only foster the growth of al Qaeda within his borders. “First of all, because this is the war that is going to support Al Qaeda and the same people that kill Americans in the 11 of September. The second thing that we all want to tell to the Congress, that they should ask and that what we expect, we expect them to ask this administration about the evidence that they have regarding the chemical story and the allegations that they presented,” Assad said. President Assad said he and the Syrian people are “disappointed” by President Obama’s behavior, and compared his foreign policy to that of former President George W. Bush. “We expected this administration [to be] different from Bush’s administration,” he said. However, “they are operating the same doctrine with different accessories. That’s it. We expect if…[this administration] to be strong to say that ‘We don’t have evidence, that we have to obey…the international law, that we have to go back to the security council at the United Nations.'” If he found himself face-to-face with President Obama, Assad told Rose, he would simply tell him:” “Present what you have as evidence to the public. Be transparent.” “He didn’t present because he doesn’t have have [it],” Assad said. “Kerry doesn’t have it.” Responding to Charlie Rose’s claims that evidence has been presented to Congress, including satellite footage and intercepted messages, Assad repeated several times, “nothing has been presented,” eventually adding that even if the U.S. did present seemingly credible evidence, he would doubt its veracity. “We have the precedent of Colin Powell ten years ago when he showed the evidence, it was false and it was forged,” Assad said. “You want me to believe American evidence and don’t believe the indication that we have? We live here.”

(CBS News) How could a potential U.S. attack on Syria unfold? One possible model for such a strike happened in 1998, when the U.S. launched cruise missiles at targets in Afghanistan and Sudan in retaliation for the bombings of two…

“It will depend on whether any UN member state goes to the secretary-general and says we should look at this event,” Sellstrom told TT from Damascus. “We are in place.” Just hours after Sellstrom made the comments, French President Francois Hollande said in a regular cabinet meeting that the latest allegations of a chemical attack “require verification and confirmation,” according to government spokeswoman Najat Vallaud-Belkacem. Vallaud-Belkacem said Holland would ask the UN team to go to the site “to shed full light” on the allegations. CBS News correspondent Holly Williams reported, however, that it wasn’t immediately clear whether the Syrian government would grant the UN team access to the Ghouta suburbs to gather evidence. Ahmed al-Jarba, the head of the Western-backed Syrian National Coalition, and the London-based Syrian Observatory opposition group also called on the U.N. team to investigate the incidents. Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, a British expert in chemical and biological weapons, told CBSNews.com on Wednesday that, based on the reported death tolls and the available video evidence — which he stressed he could not authenticate independently — it appeared that a weapon of mass destruction like Sarin gas was probably involved. In many of the smaller-scale attacks across Syria, de Bretton-Gordon has said small quantities of Sarin, or far weaker organophosphate compounds, could have been to blame, and it is feasible that poorly-trained rebel forces could have been behind such attacks. “Sarin is 4,000-times more powerful than organophosphates,” he explained, suggesting that if the toxic gas was used Wednesday on a large scale, it was “very unlikely” that opposition fighters could have been behind the attacks, as they “just don’t have access to that level of chemical weapons and the delivery means” needed to disperse them so widely. Damascus, the sprawling ancient capital city and President Assad’s base of power since the conflict erupted, had come under increasing pressure from rebel forces, which had tried to advance on the city center primarily from the east. Baghdadi reported that, according to eyewitnesses, the fierce military offensive began around 7:00 a.m. on Wednesday. One man said he counted about seven air raids and dozens of shelling targeting the district of Jobar, less than one mile from a main square in the capital. On Sunday, the 20-member U.N. chemical weapons team, led by Sellstrom, arrived in Damascus to investigate three sites where chemical weapons attacks allegedly occurred. The sites they were meant to probe are the village of Khan al-Assal just west of the embattled northern city of Aleppo and two other locations, which are being kept secret for security reasons. The Syrian government has always denied claims by the opposition of chemical weapons use, saying rebels fighting to overthrow Assad’s government have used such weapons.

The movie, which is set in Scotland, centers around Merida, who defies her mother’s wish to get married, and through her actions, accidentally causes chaos in the kingdom. The film, directed by Mark Andrews, has scored a high 70 percent “Fresh” rating from critics on Rottentomatoes.com. Here’s what some of them had to say: “Youngsters with a taste for adventure will no doubt overlook the movie’s workmanlike outlines and applaud its spirited, self-reliant heroine, who proves to be as appealingly unruly as her tumble of Titian curls,” explains Ann Hornaday, Washington Post. “The Pixar name used to mean something. And it never quite meant pleasantly safe, safely forgettable movies like this,” writes Stephen Whitty of the Newark Star-Ledger. “It’s a lively, psychologically astute tale filled with humanity, wit and charming performances,” writes Claudia Puig of USA Today. “This Celtic-themed story hews so closely to classic fairy-tale tropes, it’s the studio’s most Disney-fied production yet,” notes Sara Stewart, New York Post. “‘Brave’ isn’t a bull’s-eye, but it’s close enough,” writes Tom Long of the Detroit News. “Leave the kindergarteners at home, and take your tween daughter to this one, if she is willing to be seen in public with you,” explains Willie Waffle of wafflemovies.com. “Brave” is easy to like but hard to love, a feel-good fable with the latest bells and whistles,” Joe Williams of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch writes. Let us know: Will you go and see “Brave” this weekend?
