It's looking like the president will need to make a decision soon:
THE conviction that Bashar Assad’s regime has begun to use chemical weapons is gaining strength. Israel’s most senior military-intelligence analyst, Brigadier-General Itai Brun, said on April 23rd that there was strong evidence that sarin, a lethal nerve agent, had been and was continuing to be deployed. Israeli intelligence sources added that satellite images and witness testimony had “conclusively determined” the use of a nerve agent. Photographs showing victims with constricted pupils and foam coming from their mouths are consistent with poisoning by the compound.
Syria obviously has the capability to produce small amounts of sarin gas, particularly when it has a relatively short shelf life as opposed to storing for 10 years.
