Do not let they stop a massacre with a new massacre

The U.S. President Barack Obama tried to convince Americans skeptical of his plan of a limited military attack on Syria, in retaliation for alleged chemical weapons attack by the regime in Damascus on 21 August that Washington says has left more than 1,400 dead. But the idea of a new U.S. military intervention in the Middle East cauldron is very difficult to sell to citizens weary of wars and many of their representatives in Congress, who consider the White House plan very confusing.

If the United States attacks Syria will be the first time in history that a war will be moved by a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. There is no justifiable war. All wars are dirty.

Ex-analyst: “CIA fabricated evidence to lure the U.S. to war in Syria”

The intelligence material gathered to prove the guilt of the Syrian government for the alleged use of chemical weapons was made ​​by members of the U.S. intelligence community to deceive President Barack Obama and convince him to take measure of punishment, according to Ray McGovern, a veteran of own CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), said in an interview with the Russian news agency RT.

McGovern was one of the signatories of a letter of veteran employees from the intelligence agency delivered to Obama, prompting that Bashar al-Assad is not responsible for the alleged attack with chemical weapons, and that “the CIA director, John Brennan, is committing the same fraud pre-Iraq on members of Congress, the media and the public”.  The former analyst said that Secretary of State John Kerry demonstrated to be under the influence of the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu – the only country that would benefit from a war in Syria, and that people with influence and White House advisers try to convince Obama to take a measurement.

American demonstrators opposed to an attack on the Syrian protest in front of the Capitol in Washington DC.

Ray McGovern was a CIA analyst for 27 years and worked with seven presidents, responsible, during the 80s, to prepare daily morning reports  with the material gathered by the agency to the head of government. McGovern was a fierce critic of the Iraq war led by President George W. Bush in 2003. McGovern has worked in recent years as a political activist. He has a blog on the website of filmmaker and author Michael Moore, one of the staunchest critics of American militarism and large corporations in the country. More recently, also criticized the government’s actions in the episode involving the founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, responsible for the leak of secret documents. He even said at the time that the only Assange crime was “spreading the truth”.
