Obama lied about Syrian chemical attack, ‘cherry-picked’ intelligence: report

The Obama administration quashed intelligence reports that suggested an al Qaeda-linked group could have been responsible for the sarin gas attack carried out in Syria last August, according to a news report published in London on Sunday.

In threatening a U.S. military strike on Syria during the weeks that followed after the Aug. 21 chemical attack, President Obama and Secretary of State John F. Kerry cited “definitive” evidence that Syrian President Bashar Assad had been responsible for the incident.

What they kept secret, according to an article by Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, was the belief of U.S. spy agencies that military forces loyal to Mr. Assad were not ones in Syria’s civil war to have access to sarin.

I believe that it was common knowledge here on FR that this was an al Qaeda false flag operation. And it almost worked. Someone must have told Obama to back down or face yet another embarrassing “You Can Keep It” moment when the truth eventually came out.

The left called Bush a liar for so long that any actual lies by Obama
will be seen as an attempt to get back at them. What the Left doesn't realize though
is the mindset of payback, it's a Leftist attribute not the right and Obama's lies are real.

I believe this is the first expose Hersh has done to a democrat.

I’m not rah-rah’ing for Putin, but he did step in and derailed obama fumbling about in Syria. I don’t have to like Putin to respect him on that one. IMO, he stopped obama from sending our troops into Syria (because that was where it was going).

So? Obama lies about everything. Since before his occupation of the white House began, he has only told the truth maybe three times: 1. I will fundamentally transform America. 2. I will regulate the coal fired power stations out of business. I am still searching for the third time

Little barry bastard boy is a chronic liar, a drug addled sexual degenerate who lies more than he speaks truth. Thus little bastard boy is the perfect democrip politician. All other democrip politicians seek to be like him.
