IPS-journalist Gareth Porter heeft research gedaan waaruit blijkt dat de Obama-regering de informatie over de 21 Augustus-aanval met chemische wapens nog erger gemanipuleerd heeft dan de Bush regering deed in 2002/2003.

In dit interview meldt Porter oa dat de CIA de opslagplaatsen van chemische wapens van het Syrische leger nauwkeurig in het oog hield en geen verwijdering van wapens uit de voorraad heeft geconstateerd.
