Whose sarin? (Obama exposed for Syria false-flag)

London Review of Books ^ | 19 December 2013 | Seymour Hersh

[Abiotic]

Barack Obama did not tell the whole story this autumn when he tried to make the case that Bashar al-Assad was responsible for the chemical weapons attack near Damascus on 21 August. In some instances, he omitted important intelligence, and in others he presented assumptions as facts. Most significant, he failed to acknowledge something known to the US intelligence community: that the Syrian army is not the only party in the country’s civil war with access to sarin, the nerve agent that a UN study concluded – without assessing responsibility – had been used in the rocket attack. In the months before the attack, the American intelligence agencies produced a series of highly classified reports, culminating in a formal Operations Order – a planning document that precedes a ground invasion – citing evidence that the al-Nusra Front, a jihadi group affiliated with al-Qaida, had mastered the mechanics of creating sarin and was capable of manufacturing it in quantity. When the attack occurred al-Nusra should have been a suspect, but the administration cherry-picked intelligence to justify a strike against Assad.

In his nationally televised speech about Syria on 10 September, Obama laid the blame for the nerve gas attack on the rebel-held suburb of Eastern Ghouta firmly on Assad’s government, and made it clear he was prepared to back up his earlier public warnings that any use of chemical weapons would cross a ‘red line’: ‘Assad’s government gassed to death over a thousand people,’ he said. ‘We know the Assad regime was responsible … And that is why, after careful deliberation, I determined that it is in the national security interests of the United States to respond to the Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons through a targeted military strike.’ Obama was going to war to back up a public threat....

Putin was right....again.

[1rudeboy]

false-flag

[grania]

Why can’t Assad bring it to the world court? It’s a fantasy to have them try Obama as a war criminal.

zer0 rides with a one-eyed demon, one of the four horsemen, with the devil (valerie jarrett) close behind.

[VerySadAmerican]

And remember, mccain and linda were in on it, too. And if they try to say they were only going on what obama was telling them, they should also say they’ll never trust him again.

[no-to-illegals]

Amen.

[McGruff]

o he's gonna ‘Lie us into war’? How ironic.

[867V309]

The only thing that exceeds Omombo’s mendacity is his ineptitude.

[butterdezillion]

lol. That about sums it up.

When Seymour Hersh has abandoned you....

Alexander Litvinenko begs to disagree.

[MestaMachine]

Alexander Litvinenko was hoisted on his own petard. He was a smuggler who lived dangerously and died foolishly with a lie on his lips...which his family later admitted.
In the meantime, almost everybody knew it wasn't assad who released sarin in Syria. It was our own dear friends, the rebels.

This is a Threat Matrix list documenting threats within and without. Anyone wanting on or off please advise.

[Parmenio]

So you’re saying that assassinating the enemies of the state in another country is OK? I’ve heard some pitiful apologetics for tyranny before, but you deserve some kind of prize.

[Salvation]

LOL!

[MestaMachine]

Litvenenko worked for a billionaire expat russian criminal in Britain. Educate yourself.

[Gritty]

A former senior intelligence official told me that the Obama administration had altered the available information – in terms of its timing and sequence – to enable the president and his advisers to make intelligence retrieved days after the attack look as if it had been picked up and analysed in real time, as the attack was happening. The distortion, he said, reminded him of the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident...

I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked!

In other words, it was a lie - designed to take us to war.

So, when do we crank up the impeachment apparatus?

[DuncanWaring]

On the second Tuesday of next week.

If Litvinenko broke the law, then he should have been indicted and deported, not assassinated. You’re advocating the killing of people extra-judicially, outside the rule of law. That’s really no different than what Stalin, Pol Pot or the Ku Klux Klan did. Truly ugly sentiments, and not something I’d expect to see on Free Republic.
