Syria like Bosnia?

CNN has learned Syria has moved some of its chemical weapons after the U.S. and Russia reached a diplomatic deal. The first deadline under that plan is this Saturday. The panel debates whether the war in Bosnia is really a model for the current crisis in Syria.

The politics and practicalities of a Syria deal

There are new claims today the Assad regime began moving chemical weapons to Lebanon and Iraq. If that's true it would further complicate the job of disarming Syria's chemical arsenal. Anderson discussed all of this with former Chief U.S. Weapons Inspector David Kay, and Senior Political Analyst David Gergen.

Is disarming the Assad regime "Mission Impossible"?

David Kay was America's chief weapons inspector in Iraq, and he says there are likely hundreds of people qualified to search for chemical weapons in Syria. But he estimates the job would we require at least 2,000 inspectors. Anderson spoke to him and former CIA officer Bob Baer about what the inspectors would do once they are inside Syria, and the difficulty of completing their mission.

Disarming Syria's Chemical Stockpile

The United States and Russia agreed to give up chemical weapons, and more than 15 years later the job of destroying them is still not done. That effort will be far more difficult in Syria where weapons inspectors will have to work in the middle of a brutal civil war.  Nic Robertson reports.

Senator McCain on Russia's plan for Syria

Senator John McCain is a long time supporter of American military
intervention in Syria's civil war. He speaks to Anderson and voices his
concerns about the diplomatic deal Russia is working to broker.
McCain even questions why Secretary John Kerry is flying to Geneva to meet
with his Russian counterpart, instead of holding that meeting in New York.
Does the U.S. have credibility on Syria without the threat of military
force? Anderson asked that question to former Bush administration national
security official Mike Doran and Chief Political Analyst Gloria Borger.
