US Navy moves closer to troubled nation as Obama considers military options over 'chemical weapons use'

 WASHINGTON — U.S. naval forces are moving closer to Syria as President Barack Obama considers military options for responding to the alleged use of chemical weapons by the Assad government.

With his bluff called, Obama needed to do something.  It looks like Syria may be in line for a cruise missile attack.  The story does not indicate that there is a carrier task force involved at this point, but it would make sense to have one in the area to fly cover for the fleet if nothing else.
