Maybe not as fast as some thought. Also the UN has already came out and said they do not seek any Military Solution. Moreover Ban Ki moon came out today and said the UN Inspectors need more time anyways.
US still defining objectives of strike on Syria
The Obama administration is still defining the central objectives of a potential military strike on Syria and considering possible Syrian government reprisals, even as U.S. intelligence agencies prepare additional evidence to show the Bashar Assad government's responsibility for last week's alleged chemical weapons attack, two senior administration officials said Wednesday.
One of the officials also said the administration is considering more than a single set of military strikes. "The options are not limited just to one day" of strikes, the official said, adding that no additional U.S. defensive weapons have been deployed in the region in anticipation of Syria reprisals. The U.S. already has Patriot anti-missile batteries in Jordan and Turkey.
In broad terms, the U.S. and international objective of striking Syria would be to damage the Syrian government's military and weapons enough to make it difficult to conduct more chemical weapons attacks, and to make Assad think twice about using chemical weapons again.
One administration official said Wednesday the administration also is concerned that if Assad is not punished, dictatorial leaders of other nations in possession of chemical weapons, like North Korea, might see the failure to act as a sign that they, too, could get away with using the weapons.
Administration officials have said Assad's actions posed a direct threat to U.S. national security, providing Obama with a potential legal justification for launching a strike without authorization from the United Nations or Congress. However,
officials did not detail how the U.S. was directly threatened by an attack contained within Syria's borders. Nor did they present concrete proof that Assad was responsible.
The U.S. and its international partners were unlikely to undertake military action before Thursday.
That's when British Prime Minister David Cameron will convene an emergency meeting of Parliament, where lawmakers are expected to vote on a motion clearing the way for a British response to the alleged chemical weapons attack.....snip~
