The real endgame for the U.S. and Israel is to let them bleed - that
way, their
activities will be devoted to killing each other and not Americans or
Israelis.
It was probably an errant rogue Syrian General somewhere that ordered the
chemical attack.
If Assad wanted a trigger to start a larger war he could have used his
own air
power to level all the cities. Then, the U.N. could have declared a no
fly zone.
But, you can't send in a cruise missile to hit the chemical stockpiles -
that
would blow up all the sarin into the air and disperse it all over.
The most vulnerable parts of the Syrian regime are it's defenses - they
are fixed,
almost impossible to move, and expensive. Without the fixed Syrian defenses
and with an imposed no fly zone, Assad would probably topple in a matter of
weeks - his army is weak and would probably desert in droves.
The real problem isn't Syria anyway - it's Jordan. If the Islamists
decide to
destabilize Jordan with another Arab Spring that would make the entire
region
a battle ground, from Libya to Syria.
