Intelligence report says U.S. officials knew about nerve-gas attack in Syria three days before it ki

Ther is a reason the Daily Mail" has a nickname the Daily Fail, and this article is illustrative of that point.

Here's a few more paragraphs the OP did not include:

What he didn't mention was that his administration knew about the alleged nerve-gas attack three days before it happened.


At a U.S. intelligence briefing Friday afternoon, senior administration officials disclosed that there were indications three days prior that an attack was coming.

So in 1 sentence it has gone from "knew about the alleged nerve gas attack" to there being "indications....that AN attack was coming".

That's pretty crappy reporting.

And the next paragraph:

'In the three days prior to the attack, we collected streams of human, signals and geospatial intelligence that reveal regime activities that we assess were association with preparations for a chemical weapons attack,' the U.S. intelligence report released by the Obama administration said.

Now the "knowledge" is even less specific - it has to be "assessed", as "in association with preparations".

And of course the ATS pack descends upon it as proof positive of something or other.....

Even now, 2 weeks after the attack and with the full knowledge of where it was there is still a shortcoming in the intelligence available - but the ATS screaming masses choose to believe that somehow full knowledge existed days beforehand.

Do you know how they knew?

They knew because they put them there themselves , that's how they knew chemical weapons existed in Syria.

While Obama's Department of Justice seeks to shield the Bush Administration by declaring their war crimes “business as usual,” his Department of Defense prepares to eliminate hard evidence of those crimes by destroying Syria's stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. Those WMDs came from us.

That's why they were so cock-sure that they could pin it on Assad because they had planted it.

More and more information is now coming to light regards the deceit over this alleged chemical attack by Assad

U.S. Army Col. ANTHONY J. MACDONALD’s mail. Macdonald is General Staff Director, Operations and Plans Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence the Army Staff. It’s about chemical attack in Syria.

In the message August 22 Eugene Furst congratulates Col. on successful operation and refers him to Wasington Post publication about chemical attack in Syria. From the Anthony’s wife dialog with her friend it’s clear the video with the children killed in the chemical attack near Damascus was staged by U.S. Intelligence.

All a bit messy ehhh!!!! but definitely no justification for blowing up more people , if this sort of carry on is happening.

I am not defending the administration, but imo they knew and did nothing to prevent the attack for one reason. No one would believe their reason to go stop an attack. So they knew it had to take place in order to take action. Just a theory.

No matter how you dress this up , turn it around or make a sequel of it , they can't be turned into the cavalry this time , no knights in shining armour nor bringer of democracy or defenders of freedom.

The U.S Government is complicit and their trying to cover their proverbial backsides with the proposed slaughter of ..... hey just few more thousands of people that's all , won't take long just in and out , quick strike.

Whew..clean as a whistle.......> points finger ..... they did it.

You could not script this insanity.

These wingnut's don't even have the intellect to change the MO of there insanity.

This is verbatim as to 911, how much more insanity do people have to have "in there face" to see there is no lengths the people running this show and using the U.S. and its military as there stooges will go. Are we the only ones with cruise missiles, the French are so eager to get into this mess, don't they have cruise missiles??

Sorry. this gets a little to much to comprehend.........especially when the treachery, lies and insanity get so obvious.

Err...no.

firstly if the planted allegation is true then that still doesn't "force" Assad to use it.

Secondly Syria has plenty of capability to make and deliver Sarin - there is no need at all for the US to supply it.

thirdly Syria is co-operates with Iran on such projects.

There is not now and never has been any need for the US to plant chemical weapons in Syria.

Madsen is an idiot for suggesting so - but being a career conspiracy theorist it suits him to make things up like that because he knows that thousands of people want to believe him, and pay him to reinforce their existing beliefs.

I agree with you.

This situation is just touchy, because we are the self proclaimed police of the world. The majority of other countries rely on us to take this role as well. So they look at us, and wonder how we can let chemical weapons use go unpunished.

In a perfect world we should stick in our borders sure. This is far from a perfect world, and everyone looks upon us to go in and clean up assads mess. Whether he did the bombing or the rebels. The use needs to be put to rest. If they see we let them get away with it. Who is next?

May I just remind you that a great deal of the chemical weapons in Syria are there because the so called "police of the world" probably sold it to them. That's exactly what they did with Iraq.

And whoever is next depends on who buys the next lot of WMDs from the "police of the world'

Lol! Very true. That is if they haven't already been smuggled out of the area. I can't imagine security there is top notch.

Rebuttal :-

reply to post by Aloysius the Gaul

Your above statement that implies Assad did use them , when there is a great amount of evidence that others have had a hand in it and with far greater motive than Assad.

On Monday, Eman Nabih, an Egyptian blogger translated a video by Nadime Baloush, a radical extremist and a terrorist who stated that the Muslim Brotherhood and other Al-Qaeda backed rebels have used chemical weapons and will use chemical weapons in Syria.

www.examiner.com...

"“”I know that these chemical weapons are very dangerous to use against Civilians – But what can we do? We don’t have any alternatives – So, we will do as Our Osama Bin Laden Great Leader said: ”We must punish those who punish us, we must kill their men, their women and their kids. And I repeat what he said, we must kill their children and women And we won’t stop killing their women and children, till they stop killing ours. The idea of that statement of mine, is because the regime tried to break in where we are staying in the mountains, “Baloush said.

With these sort of confessions , how can you not have at least some doubt , or is there an agenda that you must support?

Secondly Syria has plenty of capability to make and deliver Sarin - there is no need at all for the US to supply it.

Why not if they have done it before , why not again :-

Iran was publicly alleging that illegal chemical attacks were carried out on its forces, and was building a case to present to the United Nations. But it lacked the evidence implicating Iraq, much of which was contained in top secret reports and memoranda sent to the most senior intelligence officials in the U.S. government. The CIA declined to comment for this story.

It further states :-

They show that senior U.S. officials were being regularly informed about the scale of the nerve gas attacks. They are tantamount to an official American admission of complicity in some of the most gruesome chemical weapons attacks ever launched.

www.foreignpolicy.com...

Seems when it suits them it is either ignored , assisted or used directly as below:-

Unanticipated outcomes of the 2002 Afghan civilian studies , Radiological measurements of the uranium concentrations in Afghan civilians’ urine samples indicate abnormally high levels of non-depleted uranium. Radiological measurements of Afghan civilians’ have high concentrations of uranium in a range beginning at 4 X’s and reaching to over 20 X’s normal populations. This is 400% to 2000% higher than the study controls and normal population baselines of the concentrations of nanograms of uranium per liter of urine in a 24-hour sample. UMRC has completed initial but still preliminary studies that corroborate these finding in biological controls and geological samples taken in Operation Enduring Freedom bombsites.

Hey its not chemical , but lets not split pea's here

Your moral high ground is about the size of that very same pea.

I just want to see what a tomahawk missile does to an airbase lol

reply to post by CaptainNemo


Yeah great idea , how about we pick one right near you or some of your loved ones , that should be fun to see , what do you think?

reply to post by Pinkorchid


The information and digital front is just one of many fields that conflict is played out on. From some reports there does appear to be a growing number of chemical attacks as well, as for what players and levels of participation is a very challenging investigation. The report in your link does raise a flag for further investigation, but there are a lot of misdirections around with situations like these for many different reasons, the fog of war, different interests, agendas or perceptions, misunderstandings, distractions, diversions and tactics. Yes it is messy.

You are totally wrong. That the USA planted chemical weapons in Syria was claimed not by Wayne Masden but by former U.S. Army military intelligence officer Frank Gregory Ford. As he said in his recent interview with Clyde Lewis, he witnessed shipment documents of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction to a storage depot eight miles South of Damascus, Syria. Listen to the interview or read its transcipt here

Of course there was a need for the USA to deliver chemical weapons to Syria - not to the government but TO ITS OPPOSITION FORCES!
Here is a video of Syrian "rebels" admitting that they possess chemical weapons:
