Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh has dropped yet another bombshell allegation: President Obama wasn't honest with the American people when he blamed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for a sarin-gas attack in that killed hundreds of civilians.
In
early September, Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States
had proof that the nerve-gas attack was made on Assad's orders. "We know
the Assad regime was responsible," President Obama told the nation in
an address days after this revelation, which he said pushed him over the
"red line" in considering military intervention.
But in a long story published Sunday for the London Review of Books, Hersh — best known for his exposés on the cover-ups of the My Lai Massacre and of Abu Ghraib – said the administration "cherry-picked intelligence," citing conversations with intelligence and military officials.
