US ponders Syria options but urges caution over chemical weapons claims

U.S.

could join the Allied armed rebels, but members of Congress say there is little appetite for a major intervention in Syria

United States

considering a range of military responses to the alleged evidence of chemical weapons use by Syria, but it is still cautious about meaningful intervention.

informed Congress by Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday in Washington say the most likely option described Kerry would join other countries to specific groups of armed rebels.

The imposition of a no-fly zone is also considered, but is considered unattractive by the administration due to chemical weapons do not require aircraft to use - and because of the large quality of Syrian air defenses U.S. lives would be in danger.

discussion also focused on the use of forces and special instruments designed specifically designed to safely incinerate chemical weapons facilities, but there was skepticism that we can tackle the problem, which is supposed to be very scattered.

Kerry briefly took questions from politicians in the House of Representatives, but there was a marked down the rhetoric on Capitol Hill stage, even among members of Congress hardest.


"There was almost as much appetite for involvement in space like me when I go to an all-you-can-eat restaurant," said Brad Sherman of California, who has sponsored Obama proposed a bill to arm the rebels with anti-aircraft weapons.

other members of Congress who discussed later briefing with journalists, said they had more confidence now that the evidence indicates the use of chemical weapons was strong, but not conclusive.

"There is sufficient evidence to go to trial in a civilian court, but I can not say it has proven beyond a reasonable doubt," said Sherman.

It is unclear whether the United States independently developed a "chain of custody" for light soil samples and other evidence showing the use of chemicals that may have been transmitted by rebel groups.

White House Jay Carney said the spokesman there was still work to be done before evaluating American options. "We need to assess the credibility of the evidence before making decisions about what to do."

Thursday, the White House and other administration officials said Obama senior U.S. intelligence concluded with "varying degrees of confidence" that the Syrian government used chemical weapons twice in the civil war. Two Syrian officials denied Friday that government forces had used chemical weapons against the rebels.
Speaking to the BBC, the Prime Minister echoed the caution of the White House on the evidence so far, saying that the British government not to make the mistake of "rush into print "and will seek to verify the evidence with its allies. "It is very worrying that we see s'. A limited test, but no evidence of growth we have seen in the use of chemical weapons, probably by the regime, "said Cameron." It is extremely serious. This is a war crime and that we must take very seriously. "

also left well short of suggesting that the confirmation of the use of chemical weapons would necessarily be a trigger for military action. "I think that President Obama said was absolutely right -. That the international community should be a red line for us to do more," It has been speculated that Western special forces could be sent to ensure stockpile Chemicals in Syria, but Cameron said he could not predict the British troops on the ground.
