CIA Director Pompeo Admits Convincing Trump Over Disproven Chemical Weapons Attack in Syria (http://www.globalresearch.ca/cia-director-pompeo-admits-convincing-trump-over-disproven-chemical-weapons-attack-in-syria/5599591)
From his own mouth: (https://www.cia.gov/news-information/speeches-testimony/2017-speeches-testimony/director-pompeo-delivers-remarks-at-insa.html)
I got a call from the President one afternoon back in April. He wanted to talk about some disturbing images that were coming in from Syria. I’m sure you saw many of them yourselves—scenes of innocent civilians writhing in agony, the apparent victims of a chemical weapons attack.
The President had a very direct message for me: Find out what happened. So we immediately assembled a crack team of Agency experts. They began piecing together the evidence, working closely with some outstanding partners from across the Intelligence Community.
The next day the President called his cabinet together. As we sat down, he turned to me and asked what we had learned. I told him that the IC had concluded that a chemical weapon had indeed been used in the attack, and that it had been launched by the Syrian regime.
The President paused a moment and said: Pompeo, are you sure? I’ll admit that the question took my breath away. But I knew how solid the evidence was, and I was able to look him in the eye and say, Mr. President, we have high confidence in our assessment.
The President never looked back. Based on the Intelligence Community’s judgment, he made one of the most consequential decisions of his young administration, launching a strike against the very airfield where the attack originated.
So I can assure you that when it comes to having the confidence of the Commander in Chief, CIA and the Intelligence Community are in great shape.
What Pompeo is admitting to is,
at best, providing the President with faulty intelligence.
However, we know from the Hersh leaks
that the intelligence community was already well aware of the fact
that the Syrian government did not commit a chemical weapons attack.
With that in mind, it appears that Pompeo has admitted to lying to Trump
regarding the guilty party in Khan Sheikhoun and the existence of chemical weapons.
and at the very least, he managed to create a paper trail that leads right to the door of the CIA.
Is anyone surprised?
It is their ability to announce the tragic massive fraud of Khan Sheikhoun
while looking like the level heads and the good guys of the situation.
Trump, of course, comes off looking like the lone assassin, the lone madman so eaten up with narcissism
that he is putting the country at risk.
But while Trump is undeniably a narcissist
and he is undeniably putting the country at risk,
it is the fact that he is listening to and obeying the deep state apparatus that is the danger,
not that he is ignoring them.
