is that he'll mention it as an important step but will fall short of outright asking for it's implementation.


I hope it works out but I'm just waiting for Syria to come back soon with something stupid like: "We think this is a smart move and resolve to allow UN control as soon as Israel does the same with it's nuclear weapons."
