To get public opinion behind an invasion. Which is decidedly not present now. So are you predicting a terror attack?

Or maybe it's the pepsi-lite version of PNAC like Poppy's Desert Storm where we'll have bogus stories about babies ripped from incubators… OH WAIT! There are real dead babies this time.

SO maybe it's Wag The Dog- the NSA story is SOOOO damaging, Obama needs to bomb a few targets in Syria.
