From the CNN article:

US officials have said that there is "no doubt" that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is responsible for the attack.

The "no doubt" part refers to an article that is just as non-explaining as the posted article.

The US did not know prior to the attack it was going to happen, the official emphasized. The US scoops up such a large volume of communications intercepts in areas like Syria and Iraq, the material often is not processed unless there is a particular event that requires analysts to go back and look for supporting intelligence material.

Yeah, that sounds pretty definitive.

So far there are no intelligence intercepts that have been found directly confirming that Russian military or intelligence officials communicated about the attack. The official said the likelihood is the Russians are more careful in their communications to avoid being intercepted.

This is the kind of thing that passes for concrete intel?

They must think we are real idiots.

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.

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.

Globalists' Hegelian mindgames, a "meme-repeat" of the never definitive Bush WMDs in Iraq, and Bay of Pigs before that.

I wonder what big State secret they told Trump to get him to 180 on this sort of thing?
