Just in case you are collecting topics and occurrences for the next war in the Middle East, I wanted to pass on some remarks made by James Comey about Syria earlier today.
I won’t be dignifying his comments by quoting them but you can see them in full at: FBI Director: Radicalization Of Westerners In Syria Is Of Great Concern.
Comey’s main concern is over approximately one hundred (100) Americans who may be in Syria to take part in the local civil war. Apparently the FBI doesn’t know which side they are on.
I mention this because the repetition of “concern” eventually infects even reasonable people, without them even being aware that unsupported allegations were simply repeated until they sound truthful.
Much like the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Before the background material grows too much more, you might want to start tracking stories to their points of origin and then to who repeats the story, etc. There will be no shortage of such material in the coming months.
I first saw this in a tweet by Ken Dilanian.
