Syria Hands Over Chemical Weapons Details to Watchdog
SKY NEWS ^ | 09/20/2013

The chemical weapons watchdog has been handed "initial disclosure" of Syria's arsenal of poison gas and nerve agents.

The Assad regime has given details of its toxic weapons programme to the world's chemical weapons watchdog.

The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the body tasked with dismantling Syria's stockpile of nerve agents, said that Syria had given an "initial declaration" outlining its programme.

It will not release the details of the declaration and is now seeking to verify what has been outlined.

OPCW is looking at ways to fast-track moves to secure and destroy Syria's arsenal of poison gas and nerve agents as well as its production facilities.

Under a US/Russia agreement brokered last weekend, under which Syria is expected to put its chemical weapons stocks under international control, inspectors are due to be on the ground in Syria by November.

However, on Thursday Russia's President Vladimir Putin conceded he could not be 100% certain that his Syrian counterpart, Bashar al Assad, would fully give up his deadly weapons stash.

And that “initial discosure” is gospel truth, of course.

Even after all the lies and deceptions and attacks, the West still hasn’t got the gyst of Moslem bull sh*t.

If we get rid of 50% of them, we've done something and the world is a little safer.

P.S. When will the US get rid of ALL its chemical weapons?

Yes, fifty percent of poison gas and poisonous chemicals will only leave fifty percent of the stuff to kill everyone, and is worth American military intervention so that Obama can wag the dog.

No question.

Check ‘em. At least one report says these are the same weapons Bush “lied” about in Iraq.

Where will they pop-up next if they aren’t junked?
