U.S. preps for possible cruise missile attack on Syrian gov't forces
[quote](CBS News) WASHINGTON - CBS News has learned that the Pentagon is making the initial preparations for a cruise missile attack on Syrian government forces. We say "initial preparations" because such an attack won't happen until the president gives the green light. And it was clear during an interview on CNN Friday that he is not there yet.
"If the U.S. goes in and attacks another country, without a U.N. mandate and without clear evidence that can be presented," the president told CNN, "then there are questions in terms of whether international law supports it -- 'do we have the coalition to make it work?' Those are considerations that we have to take into account."[/quote]

34 RepliesStrikes on chemical weapons facilities are looking unlikely, punitive strikes against Syrian strongholds, Republican Guard, anti-air batteries, the 4th Armoured division or the presidential palace. Cruise missiles or longer term B2 bombing we have no idea. Military aircraft - C-130's and fighter formations - seen off Cyprus and at the British base in Akrotiri. UN Mandate unlikely, intervention based on the [url=http://www.responsibilitytoprotect.org/index.php/component/content/article/35-r2pcs-topics/2626-un-resolution-on-the-responsibility-to-protect]"responsibility to protect"[/url] more probable.
