The problem with being a habitual liar is that the 1 time that you do tell the truth, nobody is going to believe you.
To quote the illustrious orator and former president :george bush
'"fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and ...erm...ahhh...hmmmm...well...hum....you won`t fool me again!"

What do you think is the JOB of the NSA, if not gathering intelligence, MAINLY from foreign nations and MAINLY from the M/E nations (our potential enemies)?
The NSA exists for exactly that reason so there can not be any doubt.
Do you doubt that the NSA has the resources or capability to get such basic or fundamental intelligence?
Do you THINK that the US goes to war without evidence? (Ok, I see the irony here....but just saying...)
Oh wait....so you think a made-up scenario about a false-flag etc. is more likely? Why is that?
For me it's more likely that the US/NSA in fact gathered intelligence and has good proof that Assad did indeed cause the attack which (to a certain extent) would justify involvement. Why? Because INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE KILLED.
Any other interpretation, theory is nothing but that...a theory which is even less credible and more doubtful as the simple explanation, eg. that yes, NSA has gathered the required evidence. I for my part choose THAT theory which makes most sense and sounds most plausible as opposed to getting my information on "bef****itsnews" and similar websites. While you're wasting time spinning your conspiracy theories, REAL people die.
Short: We all know NSA spies on you and me and works a zillion of "social profiles" through their super-computers, but you have doubts they would "spy" on the leaders in Syria? Seriously....

No, but it gets old. The thought that 100s or 1000s of innocent people die/died while we spin entertaining tales sickens me.edit on 27-8-2013 by NoRulesAllowed because: (no reason given)
A Canadian human rights monitoring group has documented the use of American-made Internet surveillance and censorship technology by more than a dozen governments, some with harsh human rights policies like Syria, China and Saudi Arabia.
t isn't so much the intercepted phone call that I don't believe, I just have a hard time believing Defense Officials are going to openly say "Yea, let's go ahead and start lobbing Chemical Weapons in the rebel controlled area of Damascus" over the phone.
