Last Wednesday, in the hours after a horrific chemical attack east of Damascus, an official at the Syrian Ministry of Defense exchanged panicked phone calls with a leader of a chemical weapons unit, demanding answers for a nerve agent strike that killed more than 1,000 people. Those conversations were overheard by U.S. intelligence services, The Cable has learned. And that is the major reason why American officials now say they're certain that the attacks were the work of the Bashar al-Assad regime -- and why the U.S. military is likely to attack that regime in a matter of days.
But the intercept raises questions about culpability for the chemical massacre, even as it answers others: Was the attack on Aug. 21 the work of a Syrian officer overstepping his bounds? Or was the strike explicitly directed by senior members of the Assad regime? "It's unclear where control lies," one U.S. intelligence official told The Cable. "Is there just some sort of general blessing to use these things? Or are there explicit orders for each attack?"

Could it be simply the common enemies of all involved (obama and moslems) are the Jewish Peoples and Christian Peoples?
Could it be that simple?
Yes.
Actually, it is an intercept of a general calling Ba’athist HQ to find out what the heck happened. The Obama regime is lying.
“According to a Tuesday Foreign Policy magazine, US intelligence has intercepted an urgent phone call placed by a senior Syrian Defense Ministry official with a commander in a chemical weapons unit.
“According to the report, the official contacted the commander to demand answers for the alleged chemical attack that killed more than 1,000 people in a Damascus suburb August 21. The call is the US’ main proof that Assad’s regime is responsible for the attack.”

Apparently, most other countries in Nato are not buying the bullscat from Obozo Liar and his Muslim Brotherhood kitchen cabinet:
Obama Liar’s mediots are having a hard time with this reality, that only France is willing to back Obozo Liar and his Muslim Brotherhood kitchen cabinet in a war with Syria.

US finds itself with only 1 War with Syria partner, France:

PARIS (AP) The United States found itself Friday with France as its only major partner in a potential strike against Syria, after a stunning rejection of military force in Parliament forced Britain, America’s staunchest ally, to pull out of any operation.
The collapse of British support for a mission to punish Syria for allegedly using chemical weapons puts pressure on President Barack Obama as resistance grows at home and comes with the irony that France was the most vocal critic of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
Cui bono should be applied to anything involving the middle east and the super rich Opecker Princes.
Would this be the same intelligence guys that missed 9-11? That missed the Boston bomber flying to jihad summer camp despite several warnings from other intelligence agencies? The ones that took months to finally read Mr. Workplace violences e-mails to and from the 9-11 Imam? Hey they could be right this time!
Too narrow, Grampa. Let’s return to the intent and meaning of the General Welfare Clause and apply it to every government action. When Cui Bono is just a narrow slice of society - vote “No”.

You are correct in that we need to start at the local level and apply Cui Bono from there to the international level.
Now, we have to apply it to the effort to get us bogged down in Syria.
