Revisiting the Obama track record on Syria’s chemical weapons (Effin' Kerry - 100% gone)

**SNIP**

The outcry leads us to revisit a 2014 claim from former Secretary of State John Kerry. Kerry said in a television interview that in Syria, "we got 100 percent of the chemical weapons out."

Syria had agreed in 2013 to an ambitious program to destroy its chemical stockpiles under international supervision, as part of a deal brokered by Russia. When Kerry spoke in July 2014, the process seemed far along. Based on reports from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons -- which later won the Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts -- we rated that claim Mostly True. There were caveats about incomplete information, but at the time, international experts said the claim largely held up.

Given recent events, we have pulled that fact-check (you can read an archived version here) because we now have many unanswered questions.

Uh, oh. What else did that idiot get all wrong? Iran perhaps?

Not Fonda Kerry

"Syria had agreed in 2013 to an ambitious program to destroy its chemical stockpiles under international supervision, as part of a deal brokered by Russia.9"

But the resident Putinistas tell us KGB/FSB Putin is our "friend". A guy to be greatly admired and trusted,

John Fonda Kerry of course was a big-time supporter of the Soviet Union, something Putin is in the process of restoring.

"Shortly after taking office in 1985, Kerry and Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa went on a fact-finding trip to Nicaragua, where they met with Daniel Ortega (right) and other Sandinistas. The trip was criticized when the Sandinistas cemented ties with Moscow."

Just wait till Iran has nukes. That will put the cherry on top of Obumbles’ disastrous legacy.

starting with throwing the not-his-own Vietnam medals in the reflective pool? or more recent?

Kerry’s statement was always meaningless. Destroying Assad’s stocks would have been irrelevant. ISIS and Al-Queda retained their chemical weapons.

There seems to be a common thread here, I just can’t seem to narrow it down.

Just wait till Iran has nukes. That will put the cherry on top of Obumbles’ *treasonous* legacy.

Then-Senator Kerry was heard to say, “Nothing bad happened after we left Viet Nam.”

These people lie. Kerry and Obozo are too dumb to understand. The new people in charge will change all that, I hope.
