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,

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
why didn’t he invade then?
The liberal Hersh has nailed this?
This should have Hillary and her former boss in a graybar hotel.
I know what would happen if any ordinary American citizen was facilitating WMD’s from one country to another.
[ Obama has clearly been lying. ]
No!!!! Say it isn’t so!!!!! /just every single day
O’s attempt to overthrow the Syrian government has cost a reported 500,000 lives in Syria already.....and the blood shed is continuing...
ps: plus O’s set off the worst part of the Muslim invastion of Europe and North America, also continuing....
Good God!
But, you know..? This really DOES sound like Hillary.
Missiles, guns, NERVE GAS —you really think this would have ALL the ingredients of a story picked up by EVERY channel and newspaper, now don’t you..?
Yet I predict this will remain only in the alternative media.
WHO WOULD PAY TO GO TO JOURNALISM SCHOOL..??
Surprised? Really?
Bump
Hillary’s resume of behaviour would easily update with this and it would fit right in without seeming to be out of the margins of normal.
Hillary will say she doesn’t recall? She does however remember sending someone named Sharon to somewhere around there at that time. Fog of war being what it can be.

I remember back in 2012 a knowledgeable (or intuitive) reporter asked Hillary about “rumored” shipping of Libyan weapons to Syria through Turkey she appeared startled and promptly deflected by saying State wouldn’t know about things like that and the question should be directed to the CIA.
Such an operation smells oh Hillary trying to benefit her Saudi financial benefactors as well as smelling of Obama’s tiring to advance Islam & jihad.
I think Seymour Hirsch has this NAILED.
It’s like Obama, Hillary et al play chess backward. Like Fast and Furious. They decide what the desired outcome should be, then attempt to provoke groups into a certain reaction, setting up a play for their desired outcome. But it never works. They are flipping BAD at it.
I think that commenter is onto something. Hillary is damaged goods, Trump will crucify her. I bet Hillary drops out and the shadow government drafts Biden and Warren.
Now that they seem resigned to running with Trump, you know they have something else up their sleeves.

Did she mean the CIA, or the branch of the State Department CIA ?
The mainstream media won't print his stories, but the Guardian did:

It's about Obama, NSA and the pathetic American media. The Republican Party doesn't like him. Worth reading the whole article.
