“US officials declined to comment on whether the military action under consideration would go beyond the use of cruise missiles and require fighter aircraft to enter Syrian airspace. ‘We’re exploring every option,’ the official said. If the United States took no military action against Damascus, then it would send a dangerous signal to other regimes with chemical stockpiles, including North Korea, the official said. Citing North Korea, the official said ‘what’s to say, as they (the North Koreans) watch this play out in Syria, they wouldn’t use weapons like this?’ Obama’s aides were still working to define the precise objective of any potential intervention, a second administration official said.”
