(14,400 posts)1. My guess
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."

It appears AIPAC is firmly in control of our Middle East foreign policy. They most definitely have regime change in mind, not just taking away Assad's chemical weapons.
