US official: 'IS making and using chemical weapons in Iraq and Syria'

[Peace Patriot]

2. "...a US official..."?

This is shit. And I agree with your suggestion: History IS repeating itself.

The report later refers to an "individual" ("...the individual said...&quot , i.e., this anonymous "US official," then:

The US government's position continues to be that it is investigating claims of chemical weapons use in Iraq and Syria, but the official speaking to the BBC said that many intelligence agencies now believe there is now enough evidence to back up these claims.

The official requested anonymity because that person was not authorised to speak about it publicly.--from the OP

"NOT AUTHORIZED" to speak about it publicly! Then what the !@#$ is this "US official" DOING?

The CIA, on behalf of US military profiteers, has to somehow justify all that expensive weaponry raining down on civilians in Syria and elsewhere, AND shuttled in to "the rebels" in Syria to overthrow a government that our military and corporate profiteers don't like. This shit has been going on for more than half a century--the CIA/MIC manufacturing wars for war profiteers, who should have been demobilized and defunded after WW II and never were, alas. They've grown into a monster. And this is a good example of how that monster perpetuates itself, and gets bigger and bigger.

The mustard gas "cell" is probably a CIA cell, if there is any reality to it at all.

I'm so sick of this shit. I've seen these lies too many times in my long life. Believe me, the CIA created "IS" just as they created Al Qaeda. They created this horrible chaos in the Middle East, just as they created it in Vietnam, Colombia, Honduras, north Africa and elsewhere--all for profiteering in military hardware and systems or profiteering from hijacked resources, slave labor and coopted governments.

"Curveball" was just the latest in a lo-o-o-ong line of warmongering LIARS within our own government. And I'd sure like to know if this "unauthorized US official" is speaking for President Obama, or trying to force him into more and more war.
