On the same subject see my interview to CNN at http://www.kpho.com/story/23405317/skepticism-surrounds-russias-proposed-deal-with-syria

On the political/strategic aspects of the Syrian chemical weapons crisis I recommend to read my colleague Chuck Freilich's  article "Syria Deal: As Good As It Gets?" t
