At least celebrated investigative journalist Jake Tapper admits that the Obama videos depicting sarin attacks in Syria, released by CNN 8 p.m, last night could not be verified for authenticity.
“CNN cannot independently verify the authenticity of these videos but we’re reporting on them because we have verified the Obama administration is showing them to members of congress as they hope to build a case to support military strikes against the Assad regime.” (CNN, Sept. 7, 2013).
If CNN cannot independently verify the authenticity of these videos, then why are they showing them?
Some 13 videos graphically depicting the gruesome Sarin attack in Syria make up the White House compilation video turned over to CNN, even though many of them had been previously posted on YouTube. But Tapper points out that the CNN collection of footage is “significant” because the Intelligence Community has given it a stamp of authenticity.
More significantly, the video images CNN described as “hard-to-stomach” were already shown by the Obama administration to a select group of senators in closed-door briefings to make the case that a limited military attack on Syria is justified.
In other words, a “select group of senators” were shown the videos on Thursday, but the television and Internet world got to release them two days later on Saturday.
The 13 different videos shown to Congress show the Syrian victims of sarin gas on August 21. Senators were told that their authenticity was verified by the intelligence community.
Make that the same intelligence community that has admitted wholesale spying on American citizens through the NSA database.

Because CNN is part of the communists network and support our communists black Muslim King Obama.
It is my understanding that death by Sarin, VX or Tabun are quite agonizing ways to die if I remember my training in NBC warfare correctly.
Where are the twisted up postures, where is the facial rictus?
Didn’t see any of that in the rebels home movies.
This is the regime which said a youtube video caused Benghazi...am amazed they are pushing another video...
I agree 100% . . . !
Maybe they got the pics from Sum Ting Wong and Ho Li Fuk. I heard they were flying again.
better videos in “Wag the Dog”
Obama will not protect any American that goes to Syria. After his behavior during the Benghazi debacle (where was he?) and all the outright lies that followed, why would anyone think he is going to be forthright in what’s going on in Syria. He does not have America’s back and can’t be trusted. Benghazi showed him to be a horrific CIC intentionally letting Americans die- not someone to lead a war.
Another freeper mention that ALL the men had TROUSERS on, and this was supposed to have happed between 3:00 and 5:00 A.M.....Question..."Do they SLEEP in their TROUSERS"????
Very, very strange. I did see some pictures of Kurds that were gassed and they were somewhat contorted, not laying like these are supposed to be.
I know. Looks more like the result of phosgene/choking agent.
