| White House releases Intel Assessment re Syria Chem Weapon use |
| 2013-09-01 |
| Syrian Government Use of Chemical Weapons on August 21 A large body of independent sources indicates that a chemical weapons attack took place in the Damascus suburbs on August 21. In addition to U.S. intelligence information, there are accounts from international and Syrian medical personnel; videos; witness accounts; thousands of social media reports from at least 12 different locations in the Damascus area; journalist accounts; and reports from highly credible nongovernmental organizations. the issue that stands out from this is that Assad must be desperate - using chem weapons near Damascus-- he apparently couldn't clear the rebels from those places with all the Hezbollah and Iran troops and his best Alawite regulars |

| #4 Very true P2k. Anyone who believes the intelligence community isn't serving the political agendas of the regime [as opposed to National Security objectives] is sadly mistaken. Loathsome, cunning lapdogs the lot. |

| #3 Meanwhile requests for info on Benghazi from both State and the WH linger. Obviously, backlog or 'process' isn't the excuse. |

| #2 actually, the Obama admin did little to develop the Obamacare language, most of it was developed by people working for Senator Max Baucus and Representative Pelosi however, a draft resolution that would authorize force was developed by the Obama Admin |
