Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., who is aggressively lobbying against a military strike on Syria, says the Obama administration has manipulated intelligence to push its case for U.S. involvement in the country's two-year civil war.
Grayson made the accusation in an interview published Wednesday by The Atlantic and offered more detail in a Thursday discussion with U.S. News. He says members of Congress are being given intelligence briefings without any evidence to support administration claims that Syrian leader Bashar Assad ordered the use of chemical weapons.

He points to an article published by The Daily Caller that alleges the communications actually showed Syrian officers were surprised by the alleged chemical weapon attack. The communications, according to unnamed sources paraphrased in article, were intercepted by Israeli intelligence and "doctored so that it leads a reader to just the opposite conclusion."
"What they say in The Daily Caller is that [intercepted communications] would lead one to the opposite conclusion," Grayson said. "I don't know if it's right or wrong, [but] there's a very simple way to find out, that's for the administration to show me and other members of Congress" translated transcripts of the intercepts, he said.

“I could kick Obama’s ass for making me agree with Alan Grayson”
Very good, I agree, lol
I’ll add to the LOLZ
The birth certificate, the shady past... the chickens really are coming home to roost, but perhaps not quite the way the Reverend Wright meant.
I’m more and more convinced this entire Syrian affair is pre-planned.
It is an effort to strengthen the jihadists.
concur
-——I could kick Obama’s ass for making me agree with Alan Grayson.——
Think of it in terms of Alan Grayson agreeing with you....!
Obama did say he’d unite the nation
Blind squirrel, stopped clock, etc., etc....
Damn, I hate that I’m actually agreeing with this raving moonbat on something!
I would not argue against that, there's too much evidence that supports it.
Sure is beginning to look that way. Conspiracy to commit treason at the highest levels of government. Obama, Hillary, Kerry, and their plants in all national intelligence/security agencies, et al, are all in it to their ear bones. Benghazi was no accident. Praying our professional military brass is not playing along.
Post of the day. I feel dirty these days, thanks to the girly man..
I agree with him in not backing this disaster but his way of getting there is a little questionable.
“He who exalts himself will be humbled.” Our current President and his enablers did everything in their power to wheedle and put him forward as a Messiah. They are about to experience a serious humbling.
If this is what I think it is, it is Tonkin Gulf II. No less than.
This is what gives me the most trouble getting my head around. Some say that any who rise to the heights had to sell their souls, and they will somehow rationalize violating the oath.
I'm not quite that cynical (yet).
I'll pray for courage to refuse to obey illegal orders, which are pretty likely to be issued.

“I could kick Obama’s ass for making me agree with Alan Grayson.”
I was thinking the same thing. there has been so many scandals lately I can’t even remember what lie it was he was involved in but I remember having a real hard time just looking at a picture of his face.
God help me, I was actually impressed with his questions yesterday.
Sad that the libs have more sense than Bohner on this.
