Not Letting Obama be his boss.....Syria's Assad Gives Up Less Than 5% of Its Chemical Weapons Arsenal
Not Letting Obama be his boss.....Syria's Assad Gives Up Less Than 5% of Its Chemical Weapons Arsenal
Exclusive: Syria has shipped out less than 5 percent of chemical weapons
Syria has given up less than 5 percent of its chemical weapons arsenal and will miss next week’s deadline to send all toxic agents abroad for destruction, sources familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.
The deliveries, in two shipments this month to the northern Syrian port of Latakia, totaled 4.1 percent of the roughly 1,300 tonnes of toxic agents reported by Damascus to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
“It’s not enough and there is no sign of more,” one source briefed on the situation said.
The internationally backed operation, overseen by a joint OPCW-United Nations mission, is now 6-8 weeks behind schedule. Damascus needs to show it is still serious about relinquishing its chemical weapons, the sources told Reuters.
Failure to eliminate its chemical weapons could expose Syria to sanctions, although these would have to be supported in the U.N. Security Council by Russia and China, which have so far refused to back such measures against President Bashar al-Assad.
The deal under which Syria undertook to eliminate its chemical arsenal stopped the United States and its allies from launching bombing raids to punish Assad for a chemical attack last August and made clear the limits to international action against him.
Wild Thing's comment.........
Obama's ego does not work well with others, He thinks the world listens to him and will take his orders and it simply does not happen with him. He is no respect from any country including the USA.
