How is this plan working out for you Obama?

– Syria has given up less than 5 percent of its chemical weapons
arsenal and will miss next week’s deadline to send all toxic agents
abroad for destruction, sources familiar with the matter said on
Wednesday.
The deliveries, in two shipments this month to the northern Syrian
port of Latakia, totaled 4.1 percent of the roughly 1,300 tonnes of
toxic agents reported by Damascus to the Organisation for the
Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), said the sources, who spoke on
condition of anonymity.
“It’s not enough and there is no sign of more,” one source briefed on the situation said.
The internationally backed operation, overseen by a joint OPCW-United
Nations mission, is now 6-8 weeks behind schedule. Damascus needs to
show it is still serious about relinquishing its chemical weapons, the
sources told Reuters.
