But we would be bombing the same group we've been supplying with weapons; Assad isn't responsible for the bombing, at least according to some UN inspectors, and actual survivors of the gas attack. But hey - our "intelligence" knows better than the people who were actually there, ya know.

Sounds alot like WMD with Bush huh, didn't he supposedly have solid "intelligence" they had those & once we were there on the ground they were no where to be found.

Here is what we do know. The rebels were caught smuggling chemical weapons across the Turkey border already. Which means we should have already known a possible chemical attack was going to happen eventually. We know the rebels are mainly controlled by insurgent groups even though Washington wants us to believe those insurgents are contained in the north away from the rebels. We know insurgent forces in the past have attacked villages & then posted videos claiming other forces against them killed innocents & they were victims. So why is it so hard for Obama and company to believe it could have been the rebels who attacked knowing it would draw in international assistance to achieve their goals. they have been begging us to get involved for about 2yrs now & they know the only way the US will act is if chemical/nuclear weapons get involved. Assad as bad a guy as he is had absolutely nothing to gain from using those weapons, he knows as well it would draw in unwanted attention to the situation. So one has to ask themselves after all the recent scandals, can you even trust what Washington presents as "solid evidence" anymore?

Because Obama and company already know who's to blame - it's not an issue of convincing them one way or another, but of them convincing the gullible American people that Assad is at fault, and really needs to be tomahawked. It doesn't take much to fool the fools that make up our population; you put it on ABC, NBC, and CBS, and the lemmings will eat it up like puddin'. It's how this whole "war on terror" got started in the first place, and yet the people still to this day will quote the propaganda word for word, and still buy into all of the "terror attacks". My God, how we've been played. We are victims of our own gullibility and niavete.

Obummer is pushing for an attack with a hidden agenda in mind.

He wants retaliatory strikes on Israel. His buddies in the mooslim brotherhood that he supported in Egypt, and now Syria, want to wipe Israel off the map.
Obummer launches a couple of ineffective missile strikes, and he again gets off Scott free while the middle east takes care of Israel.

U.S. to release intelligence on Syria chemical attack on Friday: official


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House plans on Friday to release an unclassified version of an intelligence assessment of a chemical weapons attack last week in Syria, a U.S. official said.

The report may give Americans more insight into why President Barack Obama has said that his officials have concluded that the Bashar al-Assad government is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people in a Damascus suburb.

Obama administration officials shared some of the evidence with lawmakers on Thursday and cited intercepted communications from Syrian officials among other details.

Obama and his officials are weighing the options on how to respond to the attack, including a possible missile strike. Obama has said he does not want to get drawn into a protracted conflict, but wants to ensure that chemical weapons are not used again.

There were no immediate details on the time of the release of the intelligence report.

In terms of legality, I hate to pull the old man card, but does anyone remember Granada or Panama?What about the "Shores of Tripoli"? Jefferson really wiped his ass with the constitution on that one.
