RT @MicahZenko: Clapper (4/18): Syria chem weapons use is "a policy question and not one for intelligence to comment on." What changed?

@lrozen But I don't think that changes Clapper's point. That the decision to call it was a policy one. Thus, Hagel. -
Think 'policy' is partly ordering the intel assessment. Separately, think US & key allies decided Russia hopeless, won't budge
@emptywheel -
@lrozen Didn't like 3 hours ago WH say Obama wouldn't be pushed by allies? No longer operative? -
they ordered the intel assessment and it came back within the last 24 hours, Hagel said. Would be politicized to quash it, no?
@emptywheel -
@lrozen Let's just say all the messages from Admin seem inconsistent, is all.
