No gas in Syria except in Michael Gordon's story.

 
 

The lovely Victoria Nuland told us today from her dais and podium at the State Department that the US has no evidence that Syria used chemical weapons in an reported attack on Homs that US Consulate Istanbul had "filed" with Washington some time ago.

It has been evident for days that this was true and the report probably a piece of trash received in liaison from the Turks, but that did not prevent "Iraqi Mike" Gordon from writing the piece linked below in support of his logrolling for war with Syria. 

"All the news that's fit to print."  pl
