The target list in Syria

NY Times:

Pentagon Sees Syrian Military, Not Chemical Sites, as Target


President Obama is exploring a range of military actions against Syria designed to “deter and degrade” the ability of President Bashar al-Assad’s regime to launch chemical weapons, officials said.
I would take out his air assets.  That could be done in a few days and would change the strategic balance within Syria.  It makes more sense than a punitive attack on random military units or assets.

BTW, the Times has been a victim of a denial of service attack today.  It would not surprise me if it originated in Syria or its allies.
