Seymour Hersh and RAND are not part of the US Gov
these are just expert opinions
Rand is strongly linked to the US government
They are advisors to the US gov
not part of it
They advice policy decisions and are used as basis for formulating policy
most experts on Syria back then was of the view that Assad was going to fall
They concluded that the collapse of Assad was against US strategic interests
David Pateraus is the only insider that said the US was of the view that fall of Assad is not desired by US, and that is contradicted by McCain
Also the statements of Obama are rhetorical in nature
Not the US intelligence assessment of more confidential nature
what inside
DP is the only one who has come out and said this
What
until today
What
David Patreaus and the assessment of the US intelligence community
the assessment of the US intelligence community who
IC said that Assad fall is undesirable and that the US is not support overthrow/step down of Assad?
offcially from IC?
sessment, put together by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, then led by General Martin Dempsey, forecast that the fall of the Assad regime would lead to chaos and, potentially, to Syria’s takeover by jihadi extremists, much as was then happening in Libya. A former senior adviser to the Joint Chiefs told me that the document was an ‘all-source’ appraisal, drawing on information from signals, satellite and human intelligence, and took a dim view of the Obama administration’s insistence on continuing to finance and arm the so-called moderate rebel groups. By then, the CIA had been conspiring for more than a year with allies in the UK, Saudi Arabia and Qatar to ship guns and goods – to be used for the overthrow of Assad – from Libya, via Turkey, into Syria. The new intelligence estimate singled out Turkey as a major impediment to Obama’s Syria policy. The document showed, the adviser said, ‘that what was started as a covert US programme to arm and support the moderate rebels fighting Assad had been co-opted by Turkey, and had morphed into an across-the-board technical, arms and logistical programme for all of the opposition, including Jabhat al-Nusra and Islamic State. The so-called moderates had evaporated and the Free Syrian Army was a rump group stationed at an airbase in Turkey.’ The assessment was bleak: there was no viable ‘moderate’ opposition to Assad, and the US was arming extremists.
DIA said this when?
2013 I believe
