Not to say that I trust the American government in any way, shape or form or believe they're above something like this.

They're slightly lower than the rest of the line.

I looked on the Daily Mail Online. I couldn't find the article. I looked for all articles published from 1/29 to 1/30 that were news articles and the author was Louise Boyle. I found nothing. If this is a real article, I can't find the primary source.

Edit: This article appears to be semi-legit. After further research the article was indeed published on the Daily Mail's website on the 29th and was later pulled for reasons unknown. Original article can be seen on Archive.org - web.archive.org/web/20130129213824/http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2270219/U-S-planned-launch-chemical-weapon-attack-Syria-blame-Assad.html

The article itself was then quoted on Yahoo India - in.news.yahoo.com/us-backed-plan-launch-chemical-weapon-attack-syria-045648224.html.

Here's the full text of the article:

Leaked emails have allegedly proved that the White House gave the green light to a chemical weapons attack in Syria that could 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 Britam Defence where a scheme 'approved by Washington' is outlined explaining that Qatar would fund rebel forces in Syria to use chemical weapons.
Barack Obama made it clear to Syrian president Bashar al-Assad last month that the U.S. would not tolerate Syria using chemical weapons against its own people.

According to Infowars.com, the December 25 email was sent from Britam's Business Development Director David Goulding to company founder Philip Doughty.
It reads: 'Phil... We’ve got a new offer. It’s about Syria again. Qataris propose an attractive deal and swear that the idea is approved by Washington.
'We’ll 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 don’t think it’s a good idea but the sums proposed are enormous. Your opinion?
'Kind regards, David.'
Britam Defence had not yet returned a request for comment to MailOnline.

The emails were released by a Malaysian hacker who also obtained senior executives resumés and copies of passports via an unprotected company server, according to Cyber War News.
Dave Goulding's Linkedin profile lists him as Business Development Director at Britam Defence Ltd in Security and Investigations. A business networking profile for Phil Doughty lists him as Chief Operationg Officer for Britam, United Arab Emirates, Security and Investigations.
The U.S. State Department had not returned a request for comment on the alleged emails to MailOnline today at time of publication.
However the use of chemical warfare was raised at a press briefing in D.C. on January 28.
A spokesman said that the U.S. joined the international community in 'setting common redlines about the consequences of using chemical weapons'.

So the question then is whether the email is legit. Apparently the answer is no one knows. Britam is not commenting and anything they say is straight up hearsay anyway. Infowars as a source is definitely sketchy. There are apparently two versions of the email circulating. One is dated December 24th and the other is dated December 25th but otherwise they are legit. Infowars claims they got the info from a German hacker. Daily Mail says they got the info from a German hacker. Both parties in the email are real people (who aren't commenting), but their names and roles in the company are public info. I'm inclined to think this is likely bogus myself, but can't say definitively. Infowars as a source, varying sources for where the email came from and different dates make me suspicious. The story itself was indeed published and then pulled though.

This is why you research your conspiracies. You always find something interesting.

I couldn't find anything to but I was too scared to admit as people would say "no proof" and that but thanks
