All last year Obama was under increasing pressure to attack Syria: twice-weekly editorials in The Washington Post demanding war on Syria; face-to-face meetings with Hollande, Netanyahu, Cameron, Erdogan; many attempts at false flags blaming the SAA, culminating in the incident at Ghouta. And even after Ghouta Obama managed to avoid war on Syria, agreeing to Syria destroying its chemical weapons (wile Israel's much more horrific arsenal remains in tact).
A report on Consortium News suggests that agreement on coordinated attacks on The Islamic State has been reached between the USA and Syria. This should reduce the probability of an incident such as a US fighter jet being shot at by the Syrian air defence systems, which the warmongers could obviously use as a Gulf of Tonkin. But they might ignore this agreement anyway and claim without evidence that a US fighter was shot at.
The Obama administration, working through the Russian government, has secured an agreement from the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad to permit U.S. airstrikes against Islamic State targets in parts of Syria, according to a source briefed on the secret arrangements.
The reported agreement would clear away one of the chief obstacles to President Barack Obama’s plan to authorize U.S. warplanes to cross into Syria to attack Islamic State forces – the concern that entering Syrian territory might prompt anti-aircraft fire from the Syrian government’s missile batteries.
...Yet, this secret collaboration may go even further and include Syrian government assistance in the targeting of the U.S. attacks, according to the source who spoke on condition of anonymity. That is another feature of U.S. military protocol in conducting air strikes – to have some on-the-ground help in pinpointing the attacks.

The whole point of The Islamic State is to create conditions for war on Syria. The warmongers would have loved to have gone into Syria shooting at anything that moves, provoking retaliatory fire from the Syrian military, and then declaring war on Syria. This agreement has significantly reduced the probability of any confusion between Syria and the USA on where and when US fighter jets are attacking.
But as I said, the warmongers could conjure up a Gulf of Tonkin type event that never occured...
But here is what Tarpley has tweeted regarding an 'intruder' in The White House:
