"when the good ol' USA is ready, we'll drop on them like a few ton of bricks"

The only problem with that thinking is that Syria has almost more chemical weapons than we did when we were in it. It would be a humanitarian and EPA disaster zone.

From what I read about the only thing that could make it safe was to nuke many areas of the country. That would not go down well with the rest of the world and would give the soviets and china their excuse to play with their toys.

We go into Syria, China would take Taiwan. Russia would go after some of it's "old" territories. We would probably have to let them to have them let us.

It would be a mess. Syria by the presence of so much deadly soup has made it a difficult situation to deal with in any way short of turning it into a parking lot. That will be a difficult sell to the US electorate.
