Here's why the U.S. is so sure that Syrian president Bashar al-Assad's government was behind a deadly chemical attack on August 21: U.S. intelligence listened in on a phone call between a Syrian Ministry of Defense official and someone at the country's chemical defense unit. That call, according to a report at Foreign Policy, is more or less why the U.S. is certain that Assad's government bears responsibility for the massacre near Damascus.

Does anybody else find it convenient that the world was just recently told about the NSA's reach.
Now, the 'evidence' they have is based off of a phone call?
Imagine 6 months before Snowden. And imagine ANY govt to trying to claim an intercepted phone call as evidence enough for war.
Seems without Snowden releasing those files, there wouldn't be as much weight to this claim.
I have been looking through the files which contained the emails which were faked. And one of the photos led me to this guy.

Yes a Swedish politician from Gothenburg who lived in New York City from 2006 to 2010, he is also a member of the Socialist Party USA, Has a wife who is in the UN. And he seems to be tied to Telecomix whos founders were from Gothenburg.

Telecomix is tied to hacking and activism and that is what this email leaks were. Strange thing is I thought they were against Syria with the Syria Project they did a while ago. So why are they now pushing propaganda supporting Syria?
The Blue Coat Systems leak showing spy equipment was being used in Syria to spy on it's citizen and was being updated by US companies I thought was a good thing. But was this actually an act against the US and NSA spying on Syria? Was it a case like Haliburton and Koch Industries selling equipment to Iran in order to get STUXnet Virus in the nuclear power plant? Strange rabbit hole I found here folks.

Don't these people have a secure line?
How can they be listening in?edit on 27-8-2013 by NeoParadigm because: (no reason given)
Powell played an intercept of a conversation between Iraqi army officers about the UN inspections. However, when he translated what they were saying, he knowingly embellished it,
POWELL:
"They're inspecting the ammunition you have, yes.''
"Yes."
"For the possibility there are forbidden ammo."
"For the possibility there is by chance forbidden ammo?''
"Yes."
"And we sent you a message yesterday to clean out all of the areas, the scrap areas, the abandoned areas. Make sure there is nothing there.''
According to the official State Department translation (and confirmed for me by Imad Khadduri), the Iraqi soldier merely said:
"And we sent you a message to inspect the scrap areas and the abandoned areas."

Sad to say but NATO belongs to France now. France ls in charge of what NATO does and does not do. And France has been hammered by the US for a while. IMF president framed for rape because he held purse strings on the war on terror which Hillary wanted to have the purse for her self. Sarkozy kicked out and NSA spying on him is what helped do it. And now France is in charge of NATO which Obama needs to attack Syria?
