Dubious claims made by former
National Security Adviser Susan Rice and other members of the Obama
administration regarding Syria have attracted jeers and catcalls from
conservatives following this week's sarin gas attack. Contrary to their
repeated assertions, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad did not destroy
his chemical weapons stockpile, in violation of the Obama
administration's much-touted chemical weapons deal of 2013.
“There
can be no dispute that Syria used banned chemical weapons, violated its
obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention, and ignored the
urging of the U.N. Security Council,” President Trump said.
Via Fox News:
Video footage from the chemical attack scene immediately raised credibility problems for claims made by members of the Obama administration that the prior agreement had rid the war-torn country of chemical agents.-go to links-
During an interview this past January with National Public Radio, former National Security Adviser Rice touted the “success” in Syria, in striking a deal with Russia's help that resulted in the prior administration dropping the threat of military action.“We were able to find a solution that didn’t necessitate the use of force that actually removed the chemical weapons that were known from Syria, in a way that the use of force would never have accomplished,” she boasted. “We were able to get the Syrian government to voluntarily and verifiably give up its chemical weapons stockpile.”
