In the absence of serious Syrian cooperation on substantive matters, the mission can't get to the ultimate truth. That is what is seems to me the focus the U.N. Security Council should be.
I think that's a very positive sign, both for developments in Iraq and for cooperation here in the council,
I think Syria's cooperation has been grudging at best. I think they've tried the lowest common denominator approach to see what they can get away with. This really is obstruction of justice on their part.
For me, it called back memories to 1990-91 and how the council worked during the Persian Gulf crisis, ... And I think if we could help get back to that kind of level of activity and cooperation it would be ideal.
Let there be no ambiguity about the American view that Syria's lack of cooperation .. is not acceptable.
This is 'true confessions' time now for the government of Syria . No more obstruction, no more half measures, we want substantive cooperation and we want it immediately.
We call on Cuba to cease all BW-applicable cooperation with rogue states and to fully comply with all of its obligations under the Biological Weapons Convention,
