#1 That could be the very 'five percent' that one day saves the feckless author's life [or some other more deserving piece of humanity]. Five percent is a damn site more progress than has been realized in the dismantling of the Iranian nuclear threat. Keep up the good work !

BTW, had the ruthless Saddam permitted the UNSCOM and UNMOVIC work to continue, war might have been avoided in Iraq.

#2 They make it sound like Syria is as stable and untroubled as Switzerland. What problems could they possibly have in making a 100% effort? (/sarc)

#3 Damascus will be pressured to move faster, sources close to the world's chemical watchdog said Wednesday.

What's anyone going to do? Write a stern letter to Assad? Did any of these WMDs come from Saddam's Iraq? Our Campaigner-In-Chief has not been minding the store for more than 5 years.

#5 After five years of experience, I think if Obama worked on Syria like he has worked on the US economy, the US would be shipping chemical weapons to Syria for use.
