The Syrian government agrees to Russia’s proposal to hand its chemical arsenal over to international control in a bid to avert a possible strike by the US-led coalition, Interfax reported citing the Syrian Foreign Minister.

“Yesterday [Monday] we held a round of very fruitful negotiations with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and he put forward an initiative regarding chemical weapons. Already in the evening we accepted Russia’s initiative,” Walid Muallem said.

He stressed that the agreement is designed to “pull the rug from under the feet of American aggression.”

In order to achieve any real security, accountability, and disposal of these weapons, Assad will have to remain in control and the fighting will have to cease. Concessions of time and cessation of hostilities will be “necessary” for a process which will never occur. No joy in Mud-istan for the islamofascists and Obama. Russia, Syria, Iran, and Hezbollah secure game, set, match. Face it, Zero......you’ve been outplayed.

So is Obama going to give his nobel peace prize to Putin and Assad, seeing as they brokered this?

This was Lurch’s accidental gaffe. Now that the Assad has seized on it, Barry’s not going to be happy. His entire goal in this was to take out Assad’s military capabilities allowing the Brotherhood to take over. I guarantee he’s going to find conditions to make the whole deal fall apart.

Assad will put a couple of crates of shells in a warehouse surrounded by blue helmets.

The rest of his weapons will remain available to troops, and his production facilities will double their output.

Checkmate, Horseface / 0bummer.

So, do we really want those U.N. @hole$ in control of chemical weapons? The ones whose Agenda 21 would have the earth’s population reduced by 85%?

Didn’t the Muslim (Assad, not Obummer) just say to Charlie Rose that he didn’t have chemical weapons?
