US planning for potential intervention in Syria

Reports from a US senior administration official claimed that the Pentagon has begun weighing out its options for a potential military intervention in Syria. Most reports state that the deployment of ground troops is unlikely, and that most of the action will be based on strategically placed missile strikes targeting chemical sites or headquarters of Syrian military. While there has yet to be any formal declaration that the US will take action in Syria, recent actions point towards the positive.
