Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist: Hillary Approved Sending Sarin Gas to Rebels to Frame Assad (TR)

In June of 2013, the United States concluded that the Syrian government did use chemical weapons in its fight against opposition forces. President Obama immediately used this chemical attack as a pretext for invasion and authorized direct U.S. military support to the rebels, according to the White House.

Since the US has been funding these ‘moderate rebels’ more than 250,000 people have been killed, over 7,600,000 have been internally displaced, and 4,000,000 other human beings have been forced from the country entirely.

All of this death and destruction carried out by a sadistic army of rebels who’ve been funded and armed by the United States government, based on, what we are now told, was a complete fabrication.

World renowned journalist Seymour Hersh has revealed, in a series of interviews and books, that the Obama Administration falsely blamed the government of Syria’s Bashar al-Assad for the sarin gas attack that Obama was trying to use as an excuse to invade Syria.

It’s certainly possible and one more reason to stay out of that mess.

"On 22 December 2015, the London Review of Books published Hersh's article ″Military to Military″[53] in which he exposed the divide between the US top brass and the politicians in the White House when it came to dealing with Islamic extremists in Syria and Iraq. Hersh reports the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) of the United States Department of Defense has indirectly supported Syria's President Bashar al-Assad with quality intelligence in an effort to help him defeat jihadist groups and provided - via Germany, Israel and Russia - to help Assad push back Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State. Hersh also writes the military even undermined a US effort to arm Syrian rebels in a bid to prove it was serious about helping Assad fight their common enemies. Hersh says the Joint Chiefs’ maneuvering was rooted in several concerns, including the US arming of unvetted Syrian rebels with jihadist ties, a belief the administration was overly focused on confronting Assad’s ally Russia, and anger the White House was unwilling to challenge Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey over their support of extremist groups in Syria."

I dunno. Sounds about right to me.

Dude may not be on our side, but he's old-school journalism. Digging up facts, not making them up.

Wasn’t that her and bami’s idea to get rid of Assad and put ISIS into Syria??? Whatever they had to do to get the oil line into Saudi...and that’s why McCain and McMullin are such buddies with Bagdaddie...

We will have to wait and watch what Our President and his team does next...even if War Monger McCain wants to fly jets out right now...could be why Rand Paul came out today and said that before we go into Syria, it will go through Congress ...

The Saudis didn't give Hillary a hundred million bucks for nothing. She assured them she could get their MB backed crowd into power in Syria and would be able to build a pipeline across Syria to the Med.

Trump going into Syria would be nothing less than Trump pulling Bill and Hillary's butts out of the fire.

And I saw McCain on TV saying Trump doesn’t have to go through congress. I thought he was having an orgasm right then just thinking about starting another war.
