Hashem told him to do.......

Syria has now officially signed on to the CW treaty, and Russia wants the CW weapons out of Syria just as much as the US. Assad can try to waffle all he wants, but within the next six months all of his CW weapons will be moved to Russia for disposal. The US will allow Russia to do the disposal because the US and Russia have been cooperating for over ten years disposing of their own CW stuff. The Russian and US security organizations will ensure none are left behind. Russia will do this so if Assad gets overthrown, Al Qaida will not get access.

His Chamberlaining Peace failing Policy, He tried to save by more Chamberlaining Peace Policy, which also has failed. Obama is the Bigges Usefull Idiot in the History of the US, as according to my opinion. He has been outsmarted again and again and again. Arn.Sweden.

Sure. And the earth is a flat plane.

The neo-cons are dead set on starting a major war. This is not over yet. If war breaks out. The world should know that the collapse of the dollar is guaranteed as a consequence. The bastards in Washington need a way out. War is their way out.

there is no end to this man's failures.

I wish you were right but anyone following the Middle East knows that in fact what will happen in six months is that Russia, Syria and the US will still be arguing about where the weapons are, how to remove them, and if Syria is in compliance with whatever they have committed to. Assad will be happy to pay lip service and sign whatever is demanded. He may even part with some part of his weapons. But he will not give up on the one weapon that protects his Allawite minority rule no matter how many rebels show up at his front door.

verify the gas in possesion by Hezbollah, the gas that has now been dispersed, just like Sadham Hussein did but the world still has not realised that. In a nutshell the Russian plan is unverifiable.

I´m afraid that israel is on his own about iran threat. Trusting in Obama is a suicide.

"our" being: Western Civilization. If that is NOT the case, then he is the greatest success story since Jesus, (oops): Muhammad & his Allah!

USA should start bombing now. It will most likely not happen. So the chemical weapons are being scattered all over the place in order to hide them. - How will USA find these bombs without going in "Boots on the ground"??? It will be too late for bombing from the air. Thanks to the Russians.

Over more than 100 years now! Thanks for Veto the UN to death, first the UDSSR now russia, Thannks for bringing earth again and again on the brink. Thanks for spread russian weapons all over the world. Thanks for russias endless fight against freedom and human rights..Thanks for protecting dictators all over the planet.. Such a great Country..

in Syria cannot be trusted. Puton had big mouth to USA in letter. He forgot USA saved Russia against Nazi Hitler in WW2 by sending huge amount of warmaterial to fight Germans. Shalom from Holland

disposing of chemical weapons. Too much talk - UN react with ACTION. The Russians cannot be relied upon - a ruthless people. My grandparents escaped the pogroms of the early 20th century and emigrated to the U.S.

Bashar Assad has demonstrated many times his cruelty, a trademark of his family, be it his father Hafez, his uncle Reefat, his brother Maher. He has also been, like all despots, a master of the lie, of the deception. Didn't he secretely get a nuclear plant build in Syria on behalf of Iran & with the help of North Korea? How about Assad supporters? Yes Russia may have an interest in seeing Syria's chemical weapons out of reach of radical Islamists who might use them to terrorize the Russian Infidels who killed Muslims in Chechnya. But Russia mainly wants the Assad mafia family to remain in power so as to keep a military & political foothold in the region. So it is unlikely to be a reliable guarantor of the respect of any deal to secure the chemical weapons. Russia has persisted in arming the the Syrian military establishment in spite of the horrible toll on the civilians. It has never failed to politically protected the Damascus regime in the UN.

This world is in ! Economies all over the world are on a downward spiral. Government everywhere is simply not fit for purpose and cannot make a clear decision based on sound common sense. Here we have a situation in which the elected government of the US has messed up and confused an issue that should have been dealt with easily by a those with some experience. Phoney liberalism at the heart of decision making is ruining western democracy. Think of the consequences before you vote and don't listen to those who rush out and tell their elders and betters to vote for someone who simply does not have the experience to do the job.

some WMD from Syria or where ever, you might want to consider that Aum Shinrikyo MADE the Sarin gas they used to attack people in the Tokyo subway. They didn't get it from someone, THEY MADE IT. If actually wants a WMD, they will get it or make it. Remember the Boston bombers got everything they needed from the local "big box" stores. Syria is a "rational actor" and they will not have given WMDs to anyone. Being delusionally paranoid makes the whole world look dangerous. The Russian plan will work just fine because BOTH the US and Russia want it to work.

Israel should be held accountable too...Enough double standards. Hold the Jews accountable for their countless crimes against humanity in Kana and else where...

guy shoots some guy at school. gets arrested, bailed out by some politician who argues he should not go to jail, just have his guns taken away, and sent back to school. its okay,he's signed a peace of paper that promises not to go near guns again! how is assad's case ANY different? and no one is even suggesting to remove him from power, just break a few fingers so he is unable to ever pull a trigger!

Doubt this time is any different.

Have you ever heard of satellites? Are you so foolish as to believe that we have not been watching? Do not judge American might by the likes of Obama. Our military and technology stand at the ready always. Remember shock and awe!

since, as Commander In Chief, he can't make his own decisions, to carpet bomb and napalm Syria in order to take out all of those nasty WMD's, which John Kerry has UNDENIABLE proof were used by Assad, even though he has yet to present such proof, against other Syrians. Actually, who really cares if the Syrians want to kill each other, it's really rather inhumane to stop them.

Make a threat, then delay carrying it out to "give diplomacy time to work" and you just give Assad the ability to hide his chemical weapons. Congratulations, idiots of the administration. What you can understand from the hiding behavior is that ASSAD HAS NO INTENTION OF GIVING UP ALL CHEM WEAPONS.

How can Israel let this growing threat materialize. This is insane. A neighbor that is slaughtering it's citizens and aiding a world recognized terrorist org and Israel does nothing. If Assad can kill tens of thousands of it's own citizens and use gas, what would you think he would do to Israel? This is insane weakness on part of the Israeli government. It is a shame that America is the only country in the world that has put force on the table.

abides by it 100% because they value their reputation as a leader and a nation. Really, Spyguy? Are you THAT dumb? Iran signed the NPT, has broken it multiple times. That's just ONE example.

Just announce that the West expects 1300 tons of CW to appear at a port for handing to intl hands. Anything less than that is a violation of the agreement and justification for rocket attacks. Then let the Syrians and Russians stew over it. No sense tying up UN resources and allowing delay tactics to slow things down as the body count in Syria rises.
