Former CIA agent, Ray McGovern, now part of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) movement is here asked for comment on the alleged sarin gas attack against civilians by Syrian President Bashar al Assad. McGovern says that he has direct contact with intelligence personnel who are in touch with military on the scene, who know what happened during the gas attack in Syria. He says here:
“The attack that released these chemicals in Syria…was not a chemical bombing or chemical missile…it was a targeted bombing or missile attack on what was suspected to be an arms depot in the rebel-held territory…little did the Syrians know, that it was full of phosphates and all kinds of chemicals…
McGovern continues:
“The CIA played it straight and Trump was persuaded by whomever to do what he did last night.” (Many people suspect that Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner was the persuader).
McGovern laments that, in Realpolitik, “Whoever lies first, wins…and we saw that in play yesterday and today and tomorrow.”
I agree, there is more to it than that. See “The consequence to ‘Making America Great Again'” http://azzasedky.typepad.com/egypt/2017/04/the-consequences-of-making-america-great-again-.html
Rude interviewer–kind of a jerk. Do McGovern and his group have a status issue? VIPS? Geez.
