This promising proposal aims for immediate accountability and inspections, with the goal to completely eliminate Syria\u2019s chemical weapons arsenal by mid-2014. However, ongoing civil war can make disarmament extremely difficult. We must be able to verify Syrian disarmament, including regular and detailed reports from the weapons inspectors who must have full access to Syrian weapons stockpiles.  \u201cThe United States and Russia are the experts at disarmament, but we must pay close attention to Russia\u2019s actions toward its pseudo-ally Syria. Russia\u2019s arms transfers and purposeful disregard for Syrian atrocities warrants close scrutiny of their involvement in U.N. enforcement.  \u201cThere\u2019s no easy solution to the Middle East\u2019s thorny history. The terrible Syrian conflict still rages on. We need a longer-term Syria policy that protects our interests, enforces international law and prevents humanitarian catastrophes.\u201d  ###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://web.archive.org/web/20140222210845/http://hultgren.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=49&itemid=560"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7793339900672436, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
