Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh has dropped yet another bombshell allegation:
President Obama wasn't honest with the American people when he blamed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for a sarin-gas attack in that killed hundreds of civilians.
In early September, Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States had proof that the nerve-gas attack was made on Assad's orders.
"We know the Assad regime was responsible," President Obama told the nation in an address days after this revelation, which he said pushed him over the "red line" in considering military intervention.
But in a long story published Sunday for the London Review of Books, Hersh — best known for his exposés on the cover-ups of the My Lai Massacre and of Abu Ghraib –
said the administration "cherry-picked intelligence," citing conversations with intelligence and military officials...
...Though a UN resolution nullified the chances of American military intervention, the impact would be significant if the allegations hold up;
recall that President George W. Bush's legacy was deeply tainted by charges that the U.S. had no proof of nuclear weapons in Iraq when they said they did.
Hersh hints at the seriousness of the charges himself:
"The cherry-picking was similar to the process used to justify the Iraq war."

ReplyDeletehis best lie might be claiming to have never met his illegal uncle then having it come out that he lived with him for a while before going to harvard.
