President Obama is considering a strike on Syrian military targets involving sea-launched cruise missiles or possibly long-range bombers that would last no more than two days, according to senior administration officials and reported by Karen DeYoung and Anne Gearan of The Washington Post. Reuters reports that the West has told the opposition to expect a strike "within days."
The limited strike would seemingly be a response to allegations that the Syrian government used chemical weapons on its own people before dawn on August 21. Hundreds were killed and thousands suffered "neurotoxic symptoms."
The design of the potential attack implies sending a message to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad without becoming entrenched in the 29-month conflict.
On Monday U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said: "There is a reason why President Obama has made clear to the Assad regime that this international norm [of chemical weapons use] cannot be violated without consequences."
The Post notes that the targets would not be directly related to Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal and would probably include key government buildings in the capital and perhaps airfields.

I’m not 100% certain Assad’s people used chems but rather the opposition forces [islamists] and it wouldn’t be the first time.
lurch want to do his master’s bidding so the blame goes to Assad, missiles will be launched - and we will rue the day
i hold a deep loathing of Kerry, Hillary and obama and do not trust anything they say.
Destroy the economy and then when folks are old and poor demand they stand on their own economically, destroy their savings and then chastise them for not saving more and retiring with millions to carry them later on.
I get the point.
Two days? That’s good.
Cause it sounds like Iran and Russia might declare an unlimited day strike on us....
He’s playing with fire and will start the next world war. Probably all part of the plan.

Yes, and the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand was a one day limited exercise to take out one obscure and minor leader.
Where’s the constitutional authority to use force?
Even a limited sucker punch on an enemy requires congressional approval.

Speaking of Kerry——has he said yet that Basher reminds him of Genghis Khan?
Another MISSION ACCOMPLISHED moment for Prince Obama.

We can always hope.
Talk about loose lips, sinking our ships:

Apparently, Assad and members of his family and inner office will not be targets.
