GOOD NEWS to share with all....especially
GOOD NEWS to share with all....especially
those like me with military relatives in harms way....
Cooler heads may have prevailed...or someone with extremely serious stroke called the whole farce utter "Bull sh*t".
Short version
"A U.S. State Department spokesman admitted yesterday that the U.S. doesn?t know whether a low-level, rogue Syrian official is responsible for the chemical weapons attacks.
Today, the wheels came off the war wagon altogether.
AP reports:
An intercept of Syrian military officials discussing the strike was among low-level staff, with no direct evidence tying the attack back to an Assad insider or even a senior Syrian commander, the officials said.
U.S. intelligence officials are not so certain that the suspected chemical attack was carried out on Assad?s orders, or even completely sure it was carried out by government forces, the officials said.
***
Another possibility that officials would hope to rule out: that stocks had fallen out of the government?s control and were deployed by rebels in a callous and calculated attempt to draw the West into the war."
