United States of America: US ponders possible military action against Syria
A White House official says the U.S. has a “range of options” if it decides to act against Syria’s alleged use of chemical weapons.
The official commented on Saturday as President Barack Obama met with his top national security advisers to discuss the Syrian government’s alleged use of chemical weapons on civilians in a Damascus suburb.
Obama has previously expressed reluctance to any U.S. troop presence in Syria.
However, U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has strongly suggested that the U.S. is moving naval forces into place in the region in anticipation of any decision the president may make concerning Syria.
