Fact-checking website PolitiFact on Wednesday retracted a 2014 article that found it "Mostly True" the Obama administration helped broker a deal that successfully removed "100 percent" of chemical weapons from Syria.

"We struck a deal where we got 100 percent of the chemical weapons out," then-Secretary of State John Kerry said on NBC's "Meet the Press" in July 2014.

Meaning Assad couldn’t have done this?

Russia got them out and put them on USA ships...and we destroyed the weapons.

It was Russia who recommended the option to get rid of the chems....not Kerry.

I was in Iraq taking pictures of mobile chemical weapons labs when “BUSH LIED ABOUT WMD.” Orwell nailed it.
