Leaked emails have allegedly proved that the White House gave the green light to a chemical weapons attack in Syria thatcould be blamed on Assad's regime and in turn, spur international military action in the devastated country.

A report released on Monday contains an email exchange between two senior officials at British-based contractor BritamDefence where a scheme 'approved by Washington' is outlined explaining that Qatar would fund rebel forces in Syria to usechemical weapons.

Barack Obama made it clear to Syrian president Bashar al-Assad last month that the U.S. would not tolerate Syria usingchemical weapons against its own people.

According to Infowars.com, the December 25 email was sent from Britam's Business Development Director David Gouldingto company founder Philip Doughty.

It reads: 'Phil... Weve got a new offer. Its about Syria again. Qataris propose an attractive deal and swear that the idea isapproved by Washington.

'Well have to deliver a CW to Homs, a Soviet origin g-shell from Libya similar to those that Assad should have.

'They want us to deploy our Ukrainian personnel that should speak Russian and make a video record.

'Frankly, I dont think its a good idea but the sums proposed are enormous. Your opinion?

A spokesman said that the U.S. joined the international community in 'setting common redlines about the consequences ofusing chemical weapons'.

A leaked U.S. government cable revealed that the Syrian army more than likely had used chemical weapons during an attack inthe city of Homs in December.

The document, revealed inThe Cable, revealed the findings of an investigation by Scott Frederic Kilner, the U.S. consulgeneral in Istanbul, into accusations that the Syrian army used chemical weapons in the December 23 attack.

An Obama administration official who had access to the document was reported as saying: 'We can't definitely say 100 percent, but Syrian contacts made a compelling case that Agent 15 was used in Homs on Dec. 23.'

Mr Kilner's investigation included interviews with civilians, doctors, and rebels present during the attack, as well as the formergeneral and head of the Syrian WMD program, Mustafa al-Sheikh.

Dr. Nashwan Abu Abdo, a neurologist in Homs, is certain chemical weapons were used. He told The Cable: 'It was a chemicalweapon, we are sure of that, because tear gas can't cause the death of people.'

Speaking to Pentagon reporters at the time, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said his biggest concern was how the U.S. andallies would secure the chemical and biological weapons sites scattered across Syria and ensure the components don't end upin the wrong hands if the regime falls, particularly under violent conditions.

Government forces and rebels in Syria have both been accused by human rights groups of carrying out brutal warfare in the22-month-old conflict, which has claimed more than 60,000 lives.

I hope its true, then maybe the US can send Obama to the Hague to stand trial for war crimes and the US can escape his reign of terror.

@Penquin The fact that infowars.com and prisonplanet.com (alex jones) published an article based on the stolen data from Britam Defence. Says not athing about the legitamicy of the sources. In the underground scene on the web, countless security experts and hackers have studied the sources inthe pas couple of days. And everyone comes to the same scary conclusion "seems 100% legit"
