"Even as The New York Times leads the charge against the Syrian government for this week’s alleged chemical attack, it is quietly retreating on its earlier certainty about the 2013 Syria-sarin case, reports Robert Parry."

There are so many former US military leaders and CIA employees, who are speaking out against the USG government, some are “former” precisely because they refuse to be part of the corporate military industrial complex, or retired and having the opportunity to examine the “big picture”, recognizing our media sham.
