Yes he did. It's in the article he posted. He is in agreement with the Washington wire the story was a hoax. Read this clip and see for yourself. Either the soldiers are Americans or they are not. Katz is standing with the Washington Wire on this that the soldiers were Syrian. Here! Read it! From Katz's article link:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Obama administration has positioned a Navy ship carrying Marines in the Eastern Mediterranean. But U.S. officials said that those Marines are not going to be part of any strike on Syria, which will likely be carried out by cruise missiles fired by Navy ships.
The hack also includes pictures of people wearing U.S. military uniforms holding signs in front of their faces reading “I will not fight for Al Qaeda” and “I didn’t join the Marine Corps to Fight for Al Qaeda in a Syrian civil war.”
The Syrian Electronic Army has claimed responsibility for hacking the New York Times, the Washington Post and other websites.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So which is it? Katz? Montrovant? Are they Syrians dressed as Americans or are these men American soldiers?!
If you say they are American soldiers than you are in agreement with me that there is something more to this story and the article Katz posted is covering up some part of the true story. Thanks! - Jeri
Syrian Electronic Army Hacks Marines Website - Washington Wire - WSJ <-------------link Katz put up. Check it.
Could you point out to me where it says the photos used were necessarily faked by Syrians?
It says the Syrian Electronic Army hacked the site and used that photo. They could have simply lifted those photos from Facebook, Twitter, or other social media sites to use them. Whether they are real photos of US soldiers has nothing to do with whether or not the SEA hacked a recruitment site.
I have no idea if Katz meant to say that the pictures must be Syrians. She didn't actually say it. I don't think it is implied, but it's Katz; I'd never claim to understand her thinking.
Again, you are presenting a choice which I consider wrongly limited. The photos need not be American soldiers or Syrians. It could be American civilians wearing the uniform of soldiers. It could be citizens of any country in the world posing as American soldiers. Why must it be one or the other?
Maybe you and Katz should have a little talk "before" you post, Montrovant? Here is another quote from Katz:
They aren't Americans. They might be Syrian Christians wearing gold wedding bands.
This is what happens when the military is ordered to fight on the wrong side. The "enemy" looks more like us than our "friends".
We should have expected it. obama wrote of his intentions. If the political winds should shift in an ugly direction, he would stand with the muslims. Page 261 of The Audacity of Hope. The political winds have shifted in an ugly direction. The Islamic fundamentalists have gotten ugly. He stands with the muslims.
If American military are not refusing to fight today, hopefully they will soon.

Now let me say this and then I will leave you to it, Montrovant:
I posted this article this morning for one reason and one reason alone.
I am 4 square behind our American soldiers. There is a reason they went public while holding up signs in front of their faces to hide their identity. They are in fear retribution. The consequences could be severe for them and they know it.
These are the men who have fought to preserve our freedom of speech. As an american citizen who appreciates what they have done for me and for my fellow americans - putting up this article is the very least I could do for them.
I pray that their voices are heard and that they prevail in their effort to get the truth out.
No strike on Syria!
Have a blessed day.
