US intelligence intercepted communications between Syrian military and chemical experts

[USA-FRANCE]

The US military and intelligence community has intercepted communications featuring Syrian military and chemical experts talking about preparations for the sarin attack in Idlib last week, a senior US official tells CNN.

[USA-FRANCE]

So you think that it is a complete impossibility that Assad ordered the gas-attack? How can you be so sure?? Based on what logic?

I prefer beleiving in Trumps judgement to bomb the Syria airbase rather than Assads propaganda machine.

[SecAmndmt]

The rebels were responsible for the gas attack blamed on Assad in 2013. Assad does not benefit from a tactic of using CBW when he knows he will likely be hit militarily for doing so.

I ask again, which foreign power should have held the feds to account for CS gassing the Branch Davidians, which resulted in the slaughter of American Christian women and children at the hands of our own government? There is ample audio and FLIR video proof available. Just asking.

I’m not going to say much about this but I will say that we DO have the capabilities to gather these kinds of communications.

If ya’ll think we don’t then well, bless your heart.

[Rebel2016]

Last time it was reported, all sorts of communications can be easily forged by spy agencies.

[Tench_Coxe]

I listened very carefully to the guest Tucker Carlson had on tonight--the Russian expert. Indeed, there seems to be a concerted effort among factions in the US government and the media to push a conflict between the US and Russia.

The question is "why"?

[DoughtyOne]

That’s it. This doesn’t confirm Trump’s story. Why it makes him guilty. /s

You folks are devoid of reason.

[Slyfox]

The fact that Hillary and Obama considers Assad the enemy doesn’t make him the enemy.

They hated him because they wanted their ISIS pals to take over Syria.

Remember what Hillary did to the Billy Dale and the entire White House travel group? She didn’t mind smearing people who got in her way.

Why would anyone think she and Obama just might not fib on the intel to get what they want?

Call me highly suspicious.

[Jeff Chandler]

Please read carefully the article.

WOO HOO!!!!

Thanks. I needed a good laugh.

[USA-FRANCE]

Actually, Assad DOES benefit from using chemical weapons:

1. The idea is to scare the population in a massive way, trying that way to launch an exodus, its part of the ethnic cleansing policy of Assad.

2. He did that attack because he could never have imagined that Trump would react.

3. Thus, Assad misscalculated.

[Freedom56v2]

If they got this electronic intercepts and they tracked the SU-22s to the target and back like I’ve read, and they have photographic evidence of Sarin chemical weapons from satellites, it’s open and shut.

Pootie Putin is talking out his butt.

Interesting how CNN has been “fake news” and Deep state unreliable and against Trump until they support your desired paradigm.

[BootsOfEscaping]

Agreed. Its amazing to see so many people defending Assad like he is a choir boy.

[Slyfox]

Of course we do have the capabilities. The CNN article said as much.

The thing is from past experience CNN and the previously muslim-led CIA do not inspire me with confidence.

[SecAmndmt]

The last time he was accused of using CBW, it turned out it was the rebels and not Assad.

So, NO SALE on the Assad gassing his own people conspiracy theory.

an UNNAMED senior US official tells CNN.

[Red Steel]

If figured someone would take that tack with me.

You see the word “if” in my post? “If” is the operative word.

[USA-FRANCE]

So you say Assad is not the enemy ?
Sa I guess socialists like Hitler and Stalin werent enemies either then?

Please... Assad is allied to the Islamic republic of Iran and their Hezzbollah terrorist organisation... isnt that enough for you to understand Assad is the enemy?

Iran IS the enemy of the USA, and all friends of Iran are potential enemies for the USA. Its just the way it is.

Just pure maths.

[Red Steel]

Correct “if” = I To many “ifs” when dealing with CNN. ...

[Paladin2]

"whom do we trust?"

Well, NSA, CIA and FBI and LAM are certainly suspect...

[USA-FRANCE]

Agreed,

FR is being infested by pro-hezzbollah trolls !

"I prefer beleiving in Trumps judgement to bomb the Syria airbase rather than Assads propaganda machine."

I agree. From what I've read, the gas used in the attacks in 2013 (March & August) had the same hallmarks, and were said to have likely come from stockpiles of the Syrian military. If Assad was responsible for those earlier attacks, he certainly didn't face any consequences for them. So hell, if I'm Assad, and I've already gotten away with fooling the world twice before, why wouldn't I do it again?
