Obama lied about Syrian chemical attack, ‘cherry-picked’ intelligence: report

In this recent article a pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Seymour Hersh, claims Barrack Obama knew of Syria rebels ability to launch a chemical attack. This causes much controvesy because in the week safter the attack the Obama Administration focused their attention on blaming President Bashar Assad. it states that the Administration had kept secret the fact that U.S. spy agencies found that Assad did not have access to sarin. If Assad did not have access to sarin, than there is no way he could have fueled this attack. According to Hersh, the American intelligence agencies created a series of reports that cited evidence that the al-Nursa Front, a jihadi group linked to al Qaeda mastered a way in which to use sarin to attack. After this finding they were placed on the foreign terroristorganization list, yet after the attack thye were never brought up as a suspect when clearl they should have. Obama Administration apparently left this out in order to build a case against Assad. If this claim is true, then this would back Russia’s orginal claims that it was the rebels behind the attack and not the Presidents. The question is why Obama choose to hide this information and decide he wanted to build a case against Assad and then back down and agree upon a compromise? I feel more needs to be looked into this and Obama and his Administration need to come out and speak on their behalf. Overall, it was an interesting article to read and again provides a different side to the story and shows how each side is hiding this and leaving information out to benefit themselves.
