Rice claim on Syria chemical weapons gets 'four Pinocchios'
2017-04-11
[FOXNEWS] Rice’s comments about the 2013 agreement to purge the Assad regime’s chemical weapons quickly were called into question, along with the claims of other Obama officials.

The Washington Post noted, "the B.O. regime had a tendency to oversell what was accomplished, perhaps because Obama received so much criticism for not following through on an attack if Syria crossed what Obama had called ’a red line.’"

"The reality is that there were continued chemical-weapons attacks by Syria -- and that U.S. and international officials had good evidence that Syria had not been completely forthcoming in its declaration and possibly retained sarin and VX nerve agent," the Post wrote.

Citing Rice’s exact words, the fact-check column ruled: "She did not explain that Syria’s declaration was believed to be incomplete and thus was not fully verified -- and that the Syrian government still attacked citizens with chemical weapons not covered by the 2013 agreement. That tipped her wordsmithing toward a Four."

#6  Its sad when you see a bunch of media whores regretting being whores when caught whoring.

In a normal world all of them would be fired; thus dissuading whorishness. But in modern media whoring is fine as long as the customer is worthy and super liberal.
