but I think the Security Council meeting will end pretty quietly. As long as they talk I'm going to hold out hope for a settlement.

Of course I'm just speculating but I get the feeling that any deal here is going to be between Russia and the United States.

If all goes well there will be backing by both for the UN to go in and take the chemical weapons.
