PolitiFact has pulled a 2014 fact-check on remarks about Syria by former Secretary of State John Kerry after the claim the Obama administration “got ‘100 percent’ of chemical weapons out of Syria” turned out to be false. In a post about the recent chemical weapons attack in Syria, PolitiFact admitted, “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,” they explained. “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“Given recent events, we have pulled that fact-check (you can read an archived version here) because we now have many unanswered questions,” the fact-checking site declared.

An utter and complete loss of credibility.
Like the “oildrum.com”, Time to pull the plug on that site.
Obama lied, people died.
Thanks for clearing that up Mr Soros.
No no no. Those weren’t Syrian WMD’s. They came from Iraq.
Yeah yeah yeah, that’s the ticket.
We knew the PolitiFact story was another “Blatherism.”
No doubt, Snopes old them it was true.
If John Effin Cary said it how could it be anything but true? /x
Politifact is worthless. They have been wrong over and over and their agenda is more important than truth.
The Obama administration was not respected by anyone. How can you make an agreement that relies on trust with no verification with foes who think you are a joke?
So would you trust your daughters being 95% pregnancy, cancer, etc.
Do they have a ‘Mostly BS’ rating?
Politifact has a huge track record for being wrong and politically biased. Check this website out. You could spend hours reading about how wrong they are:
