President Obama is in a pickle as he tries to find a proper way to respond to Syria’s use of Chemical weapons. If he doesn’t respond the U.S. loses additional credibility with our supporters and more importantly with its adversaries. If we do attack but it’s insufficient it will bolster President Assad because he can clearly state that he survived an attack from a super power. If on the other end the President plans a full scale attack it can be a long drawn out war which could bring others into this war against our interest including Russia, China and Iran . Therefore the President must instead follow a clear plan that solves the specific problem and not draw us into an extended war.
1) The President must address the American People with clear proof of Assad attacks, tell them why this hideous attack is unique act and that it must have a clear response
2) Any action should be clear and precise to deal with preventing further attacks. Therefore the U.S must work with its partners to find and destroy the chemical weapon stockpiles in Syria and/or the means to use these evil weapons (ex attacks on missile launchers and aircraft)
3) The U.S and its allies will support the rebels with military aid/training that only agree to basic human rights for all its people including minorities. This training will occur outside hostile areas.
4) The U.S. and its allies will work with these rebels to educate the populace on the importance of constitutional democracy and the need for clear separation of powers.
5) If these follow actions occur and nothing more then the U.S and its allies will declare victory.
