"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," said a U.S. intelligence report the Obama administration released Friday.
"Multiple streams of intelligence indicate that the regime executed a rocket and artillery attack against the Damascus suburbs in the early hours of August 21," the report added. Satellites detected that the weapons were launched from territories held by the regime. They landed in rebel controlled or contested neighborhoods." SNIP
After the the attack they put all those streams of information togather on that exact location and now they "assess" (note the present tense) they were prepartions for a chem attack.
But you go ahead and spread garbage insinuations that the U.S. is evil.
