At this point, I don’t believe anything they put out, but can you imagine? They try to justify action now by saying “oh, we heard the conversation that it was going to happen”? Amateur hour at the White House strikes again.

Three days before the horrific chemical attack that killed nearly 1,500 people in Syria, American intelligence agencies had strong “indications’’ the atrocity was about to happen, according to a shocking report yesterday.
The disclosure in Foreign Policy magazine has infuriated leaders of the Syrian opposition, who said they were never warned.
“If you knew, why did you [the US] take no action?’’ an outraged Dishad Othman, a Syrian activist living in America, fumed to the magazine.
He said none of his compatriots in Syria had been given any warning.
The Obama administration revealed the startling news Friday.
It released an intelligence report that said, “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.’’
Another Syrian activist, Razan Zaitouneh, told Foreign Policy, “it’s unbelievable they did nothing to warn people or try to stop the regime before the crime.
