Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem has confirmed that the Assad government is planning to sign the international Chemical Weapons Convention, declaring publicly the size of its arsenal for the first time as part of a US and Russia-proposed deal that will see the arsenal transferred to international control pending its destruction.
All members of the CWC are committed to the eventual destruction of their arsenals, though in some cases this can be a long, expensive process. The agreement in principle to move toward the destruction was made yesterday, and has already gained massive international support.
The least on-board nation appears to be the United States, which ironically is the one that went public with the offer yesterday, but continues to issue conflicting statements on its support for the idea while continuing to talk up war with Syria.
Syria is believed to have a massive chemical arsenal, produced as a foil against Israel’s nuclear weapons arsenal, but this will be the first time official details will ever be unveiled, as much like Israel’s arsenal, Syria has left it as a poorly-kept secret, only alluded to in public comments.
Now Kerry, lets be reasonable here, is your turn to demand from Israeli government to do the same.
Henceforth, the Assad Regime will massacre its opponents using only artillery, MIGs, etc. Everyone wins!
And the rebel terrorists haven't massacred a single person?
Oh, they have. But. it's hard to feel sorry for a regime that follows a fascist ideology (Baathism) and which has been ruled by a "President"-for-Life who is the son of a "President"-for-Life and whose family has a history going back decades of massacring its opponents by the tens of thousands and jailing and torturing them by the hundreds of thousands.
Baathism is better then being part of cultism or being The Superior Arian race.
Hitlerism started the Second World War with the idea in Fasicm, Syria have no such idea nor the country is technologically nor is industrialized where they need to conquer and occupy other nations for their product, syrian government respects its people no matter what they are or what they believe, there is no such thing as Arian race in Syria, therefore 78% of the nation backing the syrian government, that proves that there is no racism in syria, so, when you even mentioning the word fascist you better know what the ideology is about and why such ideology exist. Old fascism however have developed to what is proven to be Neo Fascism, look for it is right there in your face, in EU and USA is called Neo Cons or if you will Neo Con charlatans.
Well said.
Time for Israel to do the same and submit to nuclear, biological, and chemical inspection and control.
