WASHINGTON The White House on Tuesday accused the Russian government of engaging in a cover-up of the chemical weapons attack last week by Syrian forces that prompted American airstrikes, saying that United States intelligence and numerous contemporaneous reports confirmed that the Syrians used sarin gas on their own people.
In a declassified four-page report that details United States intelligence on the chemical weapons attack, the White House asserted that the Syrian and Russian governments have sought to confuse the world community about the assault through disinformation and false narratives.
Senior White House officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the governments view, said Russias goal was to cover up Syrian regime culpability.
The officials said they could not comment on the possibility that the Russian government knew in advance of Syrias plan to carry out the chemical weapons attack, or of a subsequent attack on a hospital that was treating victims.
But one official said that, given the history of close cooperation between the Syrian and Russian militaries, Moscow must answer for the attacks. Pentagon officials have said that Russian personnel were at the Syrian base used to launch the chemical weapons attack.
...Wars and rumors of wars... (Revelation)
It’s unbelievable how much Trump is fretting about the Russia allegations to now watch him hell bent on going to war with Russia now. I would have gone to war over Iran, but Syria? Really?!
The Russians had assured the US and everybody that all chemical weapons had been removed from Syria and destroyed, and they were so convincing that the Obama regime accepted their assertions at face value.
The Russians have no leverage here. If there were no chemical weapons in Syria, how could they be used by ANYBODY?
Moscow must answer for the attacks.
We’re going to shoot NK test missiles out of the sky
We won’t stand for the man made Chinese Islands.
2nd Two I agree with.
But we’re gonna need a bigger boat.
Hey, how about sending in international investigators into the site of the attack to determine exactly what happened. You know, autopsies by non-Al Qaeda forensic doctors and chemical warfare experts. SURELY EVERYONE would agree with that...right? Well, maybe not. Perhaps the findings would upset the narrative? I predict no investigation, EVER.

If Russia paid to influence the election in DJT’s favor... I think they should ask for their money back.
For what it’s worth, Turkey did tests on four bodies and said some form of chemical agents had been used.
They mentioned the class but I’m not knowledgeable enough about them to know which ones they were referencing.
More NYSlimes horse$#!t
Paul is right.
Ahh, I’m not gullible enough to trust Islamist Erdogan’s Turks. Erdogan is in bed with the Syrian Islamists.
the autops were done in Turkey with assistance of OPCW. Confirming samples were sent to The Hague lab.
Susan Rice and John Kerry said they had verified there were no chemical weapons left.
Turkey? Yes they are impartial./ s
I didn’t put much weight behind it either. Put it out there to hear some other people’s take on it.
Thank you for the additional information.
Will be interesting to see what comes of it.
The four page report also references testimony from the World Health Organization and Doctors without Borders also. Lefty groups for sure but with no incentive I'm aware of to lie about symptoms and/or pathology results.
Thank you for that additional information.
I hadn’t thought much of Turkey’s testing, but it seems there may be more to it.
I appreciate the post.
