Syria chemical weapons facilities "destroyed"

This is a really great article to take a look at and is a portal for many other interesting titles and blogs on the area. The title itself shows hows there are so many people claiming that all the tasks and goals are met and completed. "Destroyed" in quotations shows the lack of clarification of what destroyed really means. Is it that Syria no longer has the weapons in their possession or are no longer able to use them? Is it that the weapons have poof, disintegrated and all the mess is cleaned up? It is none of the above. The article goes into depth about the deadlines the Syrian's met for allowing outside forces to come and clean house on 21 out of 23 facilities. Another deadline that was met was taking them out of the country and destroying some of the chemicals within the country for immediate relief. The third deadline that is mentioned will not be met until June 2014, which is the complete disposal of the chemical weapons and equipment. The OPCW does not have a part in this and therefore the UN has to out source and acquire a group to take on the role of figuring out what to do with such weapons.

It is helpful to read Aljazeera's articles and know that they are not as biased and information withholding as I would have assumed. People want to read and learn about what is going on, deadlines and specific goal intentions are very comforting to read because it shows actions are taking place and not all are just behind closed doors or talked about. There is always the other side to this but all in all Aljazeera has been the most reliable website for update situations.
