Ex-Bush official: OPCW’s Syria cover-up recalls Iraq war lies
Former Bush administration official Col. Lawrence Wilkerson says that
reports of US pressure on the OPCW’s Syria chemical weapons investigation
in Douma recall the Bush administration’s coercion of the IAEA and OPCW
before the Iraq war.

OPCW whistleblowers have exposed a cover-up, under US pressure, of evidence
that undermined allegations that the Syrian government committed a chemical
weapons attack in Douma in April 2018. The allegation prompted US-led
airstrikes on Syria that same month.
