It seems from the information being given to the public that it shouldn't be that hard to figure out. There are too many factions that will be forced to play their hand out of necessity if serious military action is taken against Syria by the U.S. The a limited air strike against infrastructure targets will not cripple the Syrian government completely, but will only validate future retaliation against U.S. assets and our allies. Anything short of a complete, full scale demolition of their forces will only serve as a provocation. In that case it will most likely cause the president to feel obligated to finish pi$$ ing on the ant pile and put boots on the ground. It's never in the best interest of our nation to put Private Joe Snuffy on the ground to kill bad guys when ultimately the conflict cannot by any conceivable means be put to a swift resolution and the U.S. will have nothing more to show for it than when they started.
Decisive strike and clear message, not some wimpy two day affair, or better yet just keep saying how dissapointed you are with them using those nasty chemical weapons and leave it at that!
