Sen. Menendez Touts How Obama Convinced Putin to Destroy Chemical Weapons in Syria Without a Single Shot
‘It convinced Putin at the end of the day to have Assad give up the chemical weapons he had at least at that time, which were internationally supervised and destroyed’
EXCERPT:
MENENDEZ: “I would just on your comment remind us that when we pass that authorization for the use of military force, which then-President Obama took to the G20 summit, it convinced Putin at the end of the day to have Assad give up the chemical weapons he had at least at that time, which were internationally supervised and destroyed. So I think it’s a powerful use of an authorization that got a goal at the time resolved without the firing of a single shot."
