Several military officials were reportedly caught off guard by a White House statement Monday night that indicated Syria was engaged in "potential preparations" for a new chemical attack, The New York Times reported....
...The reported lack of communication between military channels also appeared to be corroborated by a BuzzFeed News report that cited five defense officials who said they did not know of the details regarding a potential chemical attack, and were not aware of the White House's plans to release a statement.
Shortly after the White House statement was released, Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the United Nations, said on Twitter: "Any further attacks done to the people of Syria will be blamed on Assad, but also on Russia & Iran who support him killing his own people.

Precisely
...Several military officials were REPORTEDLY caught off guard;
...The REPORTED lack of communication between military channels;
...five DEFENSE OFFICIALS [nota bene; these are not MILITARY but likely desk-jockeys in DoD];
...said THEY DID NOT KNOW of the details;
...and WERE NOT AWARE of the White House’s plans to release a statement...
Hmmmm, sounds like “need to know”
Conclusion: FAKE NEWS. (maybe designed to flush out more leakers?)
“...I don’t recall you being a Trump supporter....”

I supposed you haven’t considered that maybe that’s simply because you don’t know me? Wise up!
And I don’t want to know you either.
Not everyone in the military is supposed to know what every other unit is doing. Each sector focuses on their assignments and missions, not everyone else’s assignments and missions. Master of the obvious alert.
AP reporter has similar story from WH senior official who knew nothing about it. Sounds like it was someone in State dept
If there is any truth to the new Seymour hersh story...people may be distancing themselves from what comes next from trump as it relates to syriA. This reporters stories might be a version of CYA
“The New York Times and BuzzFeed?”
These are the groups who if President Trump walked across the Potomac, they would report that Trump couldn’t swim.
Trump is the CIC.
Freepers are spot on with this fake news.
In what way? She is a Trump loyalist.
:: from WH senior official ::
If the article doesn’t name names, It’s always fake news.
That is not how DC operates...but you can believe what you wish
She wasn't during the campaign. Since she's been at her post, she's been very open about opposition to Assad and blaming him for everything that more likely is mischief by Syrian "rebels" the US subsidizes.
I've got to agree! But with that said, IMHO, Trump is letting the people who need to know, know! And, leaving it to the Bowbama holders to speculate and leak the speculation! Weeding out the leakers.
This all sounds like a false flag. Everyone is looking here while Israel is dealing with the demons on their border in the Golan that are lobbing mortar rounds in to the country. Maybe not but it’s just a thought outside the box.
Various independent sources are indicating pentagon and state were not clued in
Okay..trump is CIC. He can do that....but if he is relying on rogue intel (and that is a possibility)..then who can counter it to make sure he doesnt do something stupid
He needs to be very careful about what info he uses here..whether or not the story from hersh is true.
Haley should have never made that tweet about russia and iran..it has now been deleted
Might not be false;
