U.S., Russia Agree on Syria UN Chemical Arms Measure
(Wall Street Journal) Joe Lauria - The five permanent members of the UN Security Council agreed Thursday to a draft resolution that requires the Syrian government to surrender its chemical weapons, but in a concession to Russia makes no threat of enforcement. The resolution would implement a U.S.-Russian deal on the destruction of the Syrian arsenal by the middle of next year. In another concession to Russia, the resolution doesn't blame the Syrian government for the Aug. 21 chemical-weapons attack outside Damascus.
