Who assumes that what the intelligence report says now is actually based in fact and not in convenient fiction? The US poised to attack Syria -- having long supported the opposition -- and the stars needed to align to help that happen. For a released intelligence report to yield the very strongly desired results, among a collection of agencies with a long history of bending the truth (patriotic so long as it served the end goal), should be met with a hefty serving of skepticism.

In fact, they may have seen their use as a political opportunity to provide justification for furthering American interests in the middle-east.
