Exactly. So calling up in a panicked tone would be indicative that I suspect it might be a rogue leader. If it was confirmed it didn’t come from my side, I could assume it was my enemy.
Al Qaeda has its hands in lots of things, and if they can have plants in the Afghan army who kill US troops, then they can have infiltrated the Syrian army as well.
None of this explains why Assad would have used chemicals on people within easy driving distance of the visiting UN inspection team.
That's a suicide wish and demonstration of a desire to lose.
And every indication is that Assad does not desire to lose.
However, we have not analyzed this intercept. Could the call itself be an enactment, an operation run against both the intercept people and against Assad?
How do we know the intercepted call is really what it appears to be on its surface?
