There's really no need to hire someone in Damascus.
Just send the chemicals from the CIA to the Saudi Mukhabarat, they'll pass it on to Al Nusra or an like-minded affiliate and BOOM there's your red line.
And there are stories already, where some rebels tell an AP reporter that their guys were just transporting/storing the shit for another group, and didn't know what it was, and there was this accident, and a bunch of their guys got killed.
Could even be true. Of course, it could be a cover story for a rebel gas attack intended to be blamed on the government ("we didn't do it on purpose!"), or one rebel group setting another up to take the fall, or it could be Syrian government disinformation (Russian news sources are carrying this story), or it could just be another rumor in the fog of war.
What about the WingNutDaily; my guess: being a conservative creature, WND would be as far as possible from embracing Russia as one can imagine.
Congress is so corrupt that they have made their corruption legal and no longer answer to the American people who either don't care or are too stupid to realize what's going on. Maybe it's always been an illusion.
The Russian government continues to cover the back of the Syrian government as it has for decades.
I can't stop to notice that US does pretty much the same with the Saudi house (sort like a proxy war but instead of communism vs free world, it's now Sunni vs Shia). What doesn't make sense to me: is the Saudi house less interested in re-establishing the caliphate?
Where " trouble-makers" is the set of people trying to use truck bombs, car bombs, and suicide vests, plus various experiments with poison gas and plague, to kill masses of innocent people, yes.
Ummm... some would say US is happily in bed with such trouble makers. But this can't be true... or can it?
-Tepco reported that the radiation level was 100-millisieverts. It now transpires that 100-millisieverts was the highest reading that the measuring equipment in use was capable of displaying.
What the actual fuck. How could such a stupid mistake be made?
Yes, the test should have been repeated using measuring device with 10-millisieverts max scale: everything would be normal then, no reason to worry.
Seriously, if were considering setting up a new business model and didn't want to be dragged down by the hordes of patent-trolling parasites out there, NZ is starting to look good. Plus at 5 foot 10 inches I'm bound to be bigger than most of the Hobbits.
Won't help you too much: as the NZ sheep don't have support for "technologies for tracking vehicles", you won't be able to "provide users with electronic updates".
I suppose you're among those that think 9/11 happened because Islamic countries just decided they "hate our freedom", rather than a long history of being fucked with in a manner that pre-existed that event and continues through today, and will inevitably result in further animosity and eventual blowback.
Here we come to the heart of the issue - you fundamentally fail to understand al Qaida's motivation. Al Qaida wants to continue the Muslim conquests of centuries ago, when invading Muslim armies threatened to conquer Europe, and continue on to the rest of the world. They want to restore what they see as the glory of Islam. They want to restore the Islamic caliphate government dissolved in 1923 with the fall of the Ottoman Empire. They want replace existing government in Muslim countries with strict Islamic governments ruling according to their interpretation of Islamic law. They want to reclaim former Muslim lands, such as Spain, by reconquest. They want to expand the new Islamic empire to all nations, and convert all people to Islam. They are militant and imperialistic.
Do you know what Bin Laden's demands were to the US after 9/11? Convert to Islam, and replace the Constitution with Islamic Sharia law.
Don't worry sweetie, the life they can't save now could be yours.
I feel a bit freer because of that, you know? Honey... I know, it may sound weird to you, but... I don't crave to be saved by the government spooks, thank you.
I wonder how many attacks by the Chines, Russians, North Koreans, and Iranians you have blamed on the US?
Could this be an "argumentum ad micturio praelium" ("pissing contest" argumentation, a lower cousin of ad populum)??? Nah, you are correct: cannot exclude attacks from others, but...
Does anyone in the world do disagreeable things besides the US, in your mind?
Slipping on the trolling side already? The OP didn't say others aren't doing it, just that:
* he sees what others are doing as a smaller concern in comparing with US (see "Looks like Chinese hardware is the least of the worlds problems")
* he cannot rule out false flag operations from the US spooks side. Feel free to disagree, but... come on, you should be able to do better than building strawmen.
Ah, oh... would this be punishing your ordinary views somehow? My apologies, I don't intend to curtail your right of free speech, even I don't feel any compulsion to show my commitment to it
If Snowden leaked this at this point he's exposing information on operations, methods, everything.
At what point does it cross the line and become treason? Is there a line which gets crossed where every Snowden supporter would say "this has gone too far"?
As a non-US citizen and potentially impacted by the US govt actions, I don't have any incentive to say "this has gone too far".
It sucks that they are not improving science, basic science is the best investment a country can make. But it's not like they're falling from a great height.
No, it's not a fall from great height, there wasn't any time in which a pool of science managed to accumulate in Romania because of a constant outward flow of brains (the policies the Romanian govt has towards science may act like a push for it to happen). Some people I heard of:
Andrei Alexandrescu Cristian Calude Daniela Rus Dan Dediu
Here we see the beginnings of real, hard evidence of just how disastrous the NSA's recent actions are to the best interests of the country.
Sorry, but this is all Snowden's fault. If it hadn't been for him everything would still be working as designed and no one would be (provably anyway) the wiser.
"A wrong is right if not known"? Like: the wife-cheater is not to blame for the divorce, the snitch is? If that's what you say, you may continue to be sorry.
USA's authoritarian, Orwellian stance is hurting American companies' ability to compete in the global market, domestic and international. It hurts the American economy.
Yes, but... albeit hurt, doesn't the economy feel safe now?

Maybe there's still hope for the congress critters to consider other info
Holy shit, I never thought anyone else would notice al-Qaeda is just the Saudi wing of the CIA.
List of prominent people which had noticed as well (some even in the US congress).
To be fair might wicked brothers are microscopic bacteria...
Oh my my... wad'da ya know??... I thought bacteria were you're twin grandfathers.
Was it an African bird or a European one?
Why... the bird was French, TF title says so! (not to mention samzenpus vetted it!)
(posters these days... nobody read the titles anymore).
(grin)
Fight on my brothers and expose their wicked ways!
I would gladly fight on your wicked brothers, except... I can't find them. Somebody must've hid them.
Ummm... some would say US is happily in bed with such trouble makers.
I doubt it for these reasons.
The Russian government continues to cover the back of the Syrian government as it has for decades.
Ummm... yeah. Seems that I'm not alone not buying it.
* Syria strike would turn US into 'al Qaeda's air force'
* Obama's obsession with Syria
Who would benefit from US involvement?
What does the Saud house have at hand to force US into this conflict and on their side?
Maybe two wrongs don't make a right, but bringing a knife to a gunfight is a good way to end up dead.
In this context, bringing a bullet proof vest might have been more beneficial than bringing an entire arsenal.

John Bolton has a more nuanced view. No doubt you will disagree.
2 wrongs != 1 right (China hacking does not excuse US hacking)
Besides, John Bolton who?!? Do you subscribe to his views?
thanks.

I'm certain you must be interesting when taken in small enough doses.
Smaller doses is why it remained so much of me. About 90 kilos.

I'm asking what line do Snowden supporters draw. Or should Snowden have no limit to what he can leak?
Direct observation of the posts in the Slashdot petri dish reveal that for many of them there is apparently no limit, regardless of the consequences.
Pray tell, following Snowden's leaks, what consequences (worse than what US is already doing) may there be for non-US internet users?
that is so cool.
GENIE's free from the lamp! And one wonders, were the Chinese showing where this TAO leads to?
If Snowden leaked this at this point he's exposing information on operations, methods, everything. At what point does it cross the line and become treason? Is there a line which gets crossed where every Snowden supporter would say "this has gone too far"?
As a non-US citizen and potentially impacted by the US govt actions, I don't have any incentive to say "this has gone too far".
I Oppose the Cyber-War...but I support the hackers.
an ethical US citizen which pays taxes?
