Seymour Hersh Alleges Obama Administration Lied on Syria Gas Attack

I want to know why Seymour Hirsch is some sort of voice of authority.

It's completely out of character for Sy Hirsch to be making waves for the Left. He's the hardcore Lefty who reported on the My Lai Massacre and Abu Ghraib to roars of approval from the Democrat Establishment.

I want to know why Seymour Hirsch is some sort of voice of authority.

Because, at one time, he, with his crazy rants, and the left, with their lies, found common ground.

However, I'm pretty sure he's being playing tag with senility this century.

It's not exactly news, revealing or otherwise, to accuse BHO of lying.

The left hackles are always up whenever anybody points out facts or truths that run contrary to their narrative.

Maybe but Hersh is from the Geraldo school of journalism in my opinion.

This accusation is an interesting step, especially coming from the left. Not many people doubted that it was terrorists who unleashed the chemical weapons and blamed it on Assad. I always assumed that the Obama administration didn't know, and didn't want to know, who is responsible for the attack.

If Obama knew it was terrorists that we were supporting or if US interests were involved in the planning, wouldn't anyone with prior knowledge of it be guilty of a war crime? I wouldn't mind if McCain and Obama were charged with a war crime and terrorism.
