Seymour Hersh Says Hillary Approved Sending Libya\u2019s Sarin to Syrian Rebels<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

The great investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, in two previous articles in the\u00a0London Review of Books\u00a0<\/em>(\u00abWhose Sarin?\u00bb<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0\u00abThe Red Line and the Rat Line\u00bb<\/a>) has reported that the Obama Administration falsely blamed the government of Syria\u2019s 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\u2019t come from Assad\u2019s 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.\u00a0\u00abBy 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\u2019s arsenals into Syria\u00bb<\/em>.\u00a0Hersh didn\u2019t say whether these \u00abarms\u00bb included the precursor chemicals for making sarin which were stockpiled in Libya, but there\u00a0have<\/a>\u00a0been\u00a0multiple<\/a>\u00a0independent\u00a0reports<\/a>\u00a0that Libya\u2019s Gaddafi possessed such stockpiles, and also that the US Consulate in Benghazi Libya was operating a \u00abrat line\u00bb for Gaddafi\u2019s captured weapons into Syria through Turkey. So, Hersh isn\u2019t the only reporter who has been covering this. Indeed, the investigative journalist Christoph Lehmann\u00a0headlined<\/a>\u00a0on 7 October 2013, \u00abTop US and Saudi Officials responsible for Chemical Weapons in Syria\u00bb and reported, on the basis of very different sources than Hersh used, that\u00a0\u00abEvidence 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\u00b4s Interior Ministry\u00bb.<\/em><\/p>\n
