Award-winning Iran-Contra
journalist Robert Parry says the chemical weapons attack in Syria was
launched from a joint Saudi-Israeli special operations base in Jordan,
according to his intelligence sources.
U.S.
intelligence analysts determined that a drone was responsible for the
attack and “eventually came to believe that the flight was launched in
Jordan from a Saudi-Israeli special operations base for supporting
Syrian rebels,” according to the source.
“The
suspected reason for the poison gas was to create an incident that
would reverse the Trump administration’s announcement in late March that
it was no longer seeking the removal of President Bashar al-Assad,” writes Parry.
As we highlighted back in 2013
after another chemical weapons attack in Ghouta that was blamed on
Assad, rebels freely admitted to Associated Press correspondent Dale
Gavlak that they had been given the weapons by Saudi Arabia but had
“handled the weapons improperly and set off the explosions.”
Parry’s
background lends the information credibility. He covered the
Iran-Contra scandal for the Associated Press and Newsweek and was later
given a George Polk award for his work on intelligence matters.
The contention that the incident was a “false flag” to create a justification for air strikes has also been voiced by former Congressman Ron Paul as well as numerous other prominent voices, including Vladimir Putin himself, who went on to warn that rebels could now stage a similar incident in Damascus to goad the U.S. into toppling Assad.
Whoever
was responsible for the attack does not take away from the horror of
the event and the fact that innocent people and children died.
Parry dismissed the four page report
released by President Trump’s National Security Council that blames the
Syrian government for the chemical attack as being heavy on assertions
but lacking actual evidence.
The
white paper states, “we cannot publicly release all available
intelligence on this attack due to the need to protect sources and
methods,” although as Parry points out, “In similarly tense situations
in the past, U.S. Presidents have released sensitive intelligence to
buttress U.S. government assertions, including John F. Kennedy’s
disclosure of U-2 spy flights in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and
Ronald Reagan revealing electronic intercepts after the Soviet
shoot-down of Korean Airlines Flight 007 in 1983.”
Parry
challenged the Trump administration to make its evidence publicly
available, while also questioning why both CIA Director Mike Pompeo and
Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats were not show in a photo
released by the White House which shows the President and a dozen of his
senior advisers monitoring the April 6 missile strike from a room at
his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
“Given
President Trump’s spotty record for getting facts straight – he and his
administration should go the extra mile in presenting irrefutable
evidence to support its assessments, not simply insisting that the world
must “trust us,” concludes Parry.
