The White House say that they knew three days ahead of the chemical weapons strike that it was coming, and apparently simply forgot to tell anyone about it. (What difference does it make at this point?)
This time last year, these same crack people immediately determined that the Benghazi terrorist attack was a spontaneous YouTube protest. Obama said that was “our best intelligence.” (What difference does it make at this point?)
We are lucky to have such a benevolent dictator, who wisely decided to ask Congress – before he got impeached.
President Jarrett is vacillating causing virtual President Obama to appear to be a bumbling fool.
Appear?
Kerry said we are relying on ‘thousands’ of bits of intel garnered from social media. Nice work Lurch, time to unfriend Al Qaeda.
White House knew about the chemical weapons attack 3 days ahead of time, did nothing about it and didn’t publicize it:
“We have intelligence that leads us to assess that Syrian chemical weapons personnel – including personnel assessed to be associated with the SSRC – were preparing chemical munitions prior to the attack. In the three days prior to the attack, we collected streams of human, signals and geospatial intelligence that reveal regime activities that we assess were associated with preparations for a chemical weapons attack.
Syrian chemical weapons personnel were operating in the Damascus suburb of ‘Adra from Sunday, August 18 until early in the morning on Wednesday, August 21 near an area that the regime uses to mix chemical weapons, including sarin. On August 21, a Syrian regime element prepared for a chemical weapons attack in the Damascus area, including through the utilization of gas masks. Our intelligence sources in the Damascus area did not detect any indications in the days prior to the attack that opposition affiliates were planning to use chemical weapons.”

So when US troops donned their chemsuits during the Iraq invasion, they were preparing to gas Iraqis?

We are immensely proud of our great intelligence services.
The same intel that failed to keep tabs on a Tsarnaev brother after an alert was raised when he traveled to Chechnya.
