UN Appoints Iran to Nuclear Disarmament Security Committee

The "Elites" live in a world of their own, with no allegiance to Reason, and no accountability to the people.

The Hill:

So far, Assad has complied with the terms of the U.N.-mandated disarmament deal, offering up a comprehensive assessment of his chemical stockpiles and allowing international inspectors into the country.

But given Iran’s deep ties to Syrian President Bashar Assad and its armed support of the regime’s forces, the U.N. decision “is outrageous and puts a fox in charge of the hen house,” Rogers said in a statement.

“This is a county that has centrifuges actively spinning in an effort to obtain a nuclear weapon, the Michigan Republican said.

“Placing a patron state of Syria on this committee as the U.N. begins disarmament of Syria’s chemical weapons is a further blow to the credibility of the United Nations,” Rogers added.

The U.N. deal is part of a Russian-brokered plan to disarm Assad’s forces, who used chemical weapons against anti-government rebels fighting to topple the Syrian regime.
