A Delusional Disarmament Plan

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

Last week, Russia and the United States agreed on a “plan” to place Syria’s chemical arsenal under international control. Unfortunately, it can’t work.

Never mind the inherent problems with moving, let alone dismantling, these deadly weapons. Ignore the difficulties of finding trained personnel willing on short notice to do such dangerous work – particularly in the middle of a war zone.

One factor alone is sufficient to doom this cockamamie plan: We don't know the actual size or whereabouts of Bashir Assad’s chemical arsenal. There’s increasing evidence that he is moving and hiding what he can. And now that we have told the Russians what we think is there, you can bet Assad will keep whatever has eluded us.

Syria’s chemical genie is not going back into the bottle. Expecting otherwise is delusional.
