Strategic Culture<\/em> has the article Seymour Hersh Says Hillary Approved Sending Libya\u2019s Sarin to Syrian Rebels<\/a>. This is a compilation of some old articles and some new ones. I’ll excerpt the first paragraph whose links I checked that refer to the previous sarin gas incident.<\/p>\n

\nThe great investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, in two previous articles in the <\/span>London Review of Books <\/span><\/em>(<\/span>\u00abWhose Sarin?\u00bb<\/a> and <\/span>\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.

As I went back to the Strategic Culture<\/em> article, I realized that I had been sidetracked in reading the Alternet<\/em> article. There may even be worse stuff later on in the article. I am going to post the Alternet article, and then go back to look at the rest of the Strategic Culture<\/em> article.<\/p>\n
