REPEAT AFTER ME: THERE IS NO ABOUT-FACE.
At MOST, the NY Times article says the UN was wanting to know what happened to MONITORED CHEMICALS..i.e. stuff that was not in violation of UN resolutions but they were keeping track of it.
CHEMICALS......NOT CHEMICAL WEAPONS.
Newsmax is just once again lying to try to twist the facts and get readers.
Wishful thinking I guess.
