The great investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, in two previous articles in the London Review of Books ("Whose Sarin?" and "The Red Line and the Rat Line") has reported 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; and Hersh pointed to a report from British intelligence saying that the sarin that was used didn’t come from Assad’s stockpiles. Hersh also said that a secret agreement in 2012 was reached between the Obama Administration and the leaders of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, to set up a sarin gas attack and blame it on Assad so that the US could invade and overthrow Assad.
"By the terms of the agreement, funding came from Turkey, as well as Saudi Arabia and Qatar; the CIA, with the support of MI6, was responsible for getting arms from Gaddafi’s arsenals into Syria."
Hersh didn’t say whether these 'arms' included the precursor chemicals for making sarin which were stockpiled in Libya, but there have been multiple independent reports that Libya’s Gaddafi possessed such stockpiles, and also that the US Consulate in Benghazi Libya was operating a "rat line" for Gaddafi’s captured weapons into Syria through Turkey. So, Hersh isn’t the only reporter who has been covering this. Indeed, the investigative journalist Christoph Lehmann headlined on 7 October 2013, "Top US and Saudi Officials responsible for Chemical Weapons in Syria" and reported, on the basis of very different sources than Hersh used, that:
"Evidence leads directly to the White House, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey, CIA Director John Brennan, Saudi Intelligence Chief Prince Bandar, and Saudi Arabia´s Interior Ministry."
And, as if that weren’t enough,

Seymour Hersh is not a conservative, and he writes this damning article? He is a left winger.
This is getting very interesting. It is almost like the left wing taking out their own candidate that they think is unelectable.
“Joe Biden, please pick up the white courtesy phone!”
Bunch of lying ‘RATs and GOPe.
In a way I agree with Hersh on Snowden. He changed the nature of the debate.
IN that way he was a success.
He is less loved by the GOPe than anyone however.
It’s in the open. Now Hillary has less blackmail on Obama.
I am not sure about Osama, of course, but would not put it past our govt to lie about it. And I've been wondering if the real Osama would let any doctor in to give him and his family vaccines which is supposedly how they got a DNA match to know he was really there. Anything is possible, but I would think he would use a Pakistani Army doctor or fly someone trusted in. Or maybe that was all made up, too.
America is being run by gangs of criminals and thieves and we are immersed in nothing but "polls" all day long and most people seem worried about nothing but "climate change", racial inequality, and new methods of virtual porn viewing.
It is also like Fast and Furious in that it is an act of state-sponsored terrorism. It makes me sick that these criminals keep doing this in the name of the United States.
It was none other than the New York Times itself that broke the Hillary email server story.
Wait till they finally connect the dots on Rahman for Stevens deal, that got messed up. I’m waiting!
One reason could be that the UK voted no.
Another is that this Sarin lie was reasonably well known even back then.
This is because the Sarin ‘shells’ are like huge canisters, and have an effective range of only about two miles. I don’t recall the geographical details but at the time it was evident that they could only have been fired from rebel-held territory.
Huh, and I forgot the most important fact.
IIRC Kerry was maneouvered (by the Russians) into allowing peace in exchange for Syria giving up its chemical weapons. The casus belli disappeared.
War criminals, Hillary and Barry. They should be in prison.
This is the most evil government in the history of the republic.
bkmk
What is of such value in the region of Syria and Libya to the Clintons? Why would Sid Blumenthal be there? Was it just getting rich from selling old weapons inventories?
I just sent this to Trump on twitter. This is YUGE!!
The creep wanted to install the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria like he tried in Egypt.
Obama has clearly been lying.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Our country is in the hands of Liberal fascists and people ignore the fact. Millions are dead, Tripoli lays in ruins, Egypt barely saved herself, Iraq, and Turkey are dismembering themselves,while Syria is now in rubble and we have ISIS fully armed by the US Iranian and Libyan arsenals, with demographic warfare beong waged on Europe.The Iranians, Russians, Red Chinese and North Koreans are dividing the world up between them, as America helplessly stands by and watches in ‘not so much dismay?”
Fascists are in control of America. We must send them packing!
Good read:

That’s a great article.
That’s a great article.>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yes! It puts the whole left/liberal fascism movement into proper perspective.
They are sworn enemies of freedom and democracy.They are intentionally destroying our Republic.
Actually, that was Senator Rand Paul who asked during Senate hearings. It was the first time I saw anyone actually tell Hillary she should have been fired for dereliction of duty. Here’s the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKkkTXSfygo
You’re right & your memory is far better than mine. Thanks
