Obama wants the US to help Al Qaeda slaughter Syrian Christians

UPDATE below* 

Obama's Syrian Insanity continues --

Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis: U.S. Going to Kill Syrians to Show Syria that Killing Syrians is Wrong: "Quote of the day goes to Abby Martin who says "We're killing Syrians to Show Syria that Killing Syrians is Wrong. I just cannot wrap my head around that". George Galloway (member of the UK Parliament) responded . . . "The next time you see President Obama happy clapping in a Christian church, tell him that Al Qaeda slaughtered the Christian people of Syria literally, their necks and throats cut, heads sawed off, the Christian churches on fire at the hands of Al Qaeda, paid for and armed by the United States of America.""

and more Obama insanity . . .

*OK here's the UPDATE -- as of 7:51 am (EDT US) Sept 10, 2013 --
John Kerry makes an offhand “rhetorical” remark yesterday that the US would not bomb Syria if it gave up its chemical weapons, Russia runs with the offer, Syria accepts, France is writing the UN resolution, Obama gives in -- "Kerry touched off the discussion with an off-hand remark that Syria could only avert military action if it turned over its weapons within a week. Kerry and his aides afterward claimed the secretary was merely making a "rhetorical" point. But Russia's foreign minister formally proposed the idea to Syria, and the Assad government said it welcomed the plan. As the United Nations secretary-general and several U.S. allies gravitated toward the proposal, the Obama administration conceded that it would seriously consider it. Obama went further in his interview with Fox News. "I welcome the possibility of the development," he said. "We should explore and exhaust all avenues of diplomatic resolution to this.""

NSA, chatter, noise, FUD

OK here's  the headline du jour: Al Qaeda threat: 19 US diplomatic sites to remain closed through next weekend (+video) - CSMonitor.com

Sad, and so pathetic, and one wonders--have they given Susan Rice (see below) more "talking points" (more like "lying points") like she spouted last year on national television about Benghazi--none of which were true?

NSA defenders: embassy closures followed pre-9/11 levels of 'chatter' | World news | The Guardian: "The incoming national security advisor, Susan Rice, chaired a meeting on Saturday at the White House and was expected to further brief Obama, who was celebrating his 52nd birthday on Sunday. A number of Congressional leaders concerned by the NSA's powers, particularly regarding domestic surveillance, urged caution over linking the latest terrorism alert. Adam Schiff, a Democrat on the House intelligence committee, said: "This is not the usual kind of chatter … it had to be corroborated or come from very reliable sources to take this kind of action. "You have to be very careful how much you represent that any particular programme has contributed to our security. There is no indication that the metadata programme [related to domestic surveillance] contributed to information about this particular plot.""

Could it all be false alarms--is al Qaeda now  playing the NSA (et al) at its own game? If so, NSA has no way to separate the "chatter" from the "noise" and their "intelligence" is "useless." It's just more FUD being used to manipulate others.
