I think its pretty obvious what has been happening, Once Syria and Iran have succumbed, Russia and China will be the end game.
White House officials also point out the attack was on rebel-held territory and apparently done using rockets that the rebels do not possess.
After reports that Syria’s regime will allow UN inspectors to access the site of the attack, the senior administration official suggested the move may be too late, after “the regime’s persistent shelling” has “significantly corrupted” evidence in the area.
“If the Syrian government had nothing to hide and wanted to prove to the world that it had not used chemical weapons in this incident, it would have ceased its attacks on the area and granted immediate access to the UN–five days ago. At this juncture, the belated decision by the regime to grant access to the UN team is too late to be credible,” the official said.

End game to what?
Last I checked Manifest Destiny was completed some time ago.
What does the US need with Russia or China? Aside from trade, what?

Eliminating the last strongholds of anti-globalist resistance.

Wrong, if all the interferences would have gained the US advantages on a geopolitical level you'd be right.
But in reality all foreign US interventions have greatly damaged American interest.
Just look at the background of the governments overthrown thanks to US+EU military operations in the last 15 years.
All US BACKED and more or less "friendlies".
Clearly either American politicians are INSANE and UTTERLY INCOMPETENT or they're just enacting someone else's policies, whether or not compatible with US interests.

This is not the cold war any more... Russia is not going to go to war over Syria... There is nothing at all for them to gain by doing so.

One major point that Obama thinks he can carry out 'no boots on the ground' policy in Syria with Jets, Missiles and Drones doing the bad work from air and rebels on the ground...........this will be proven drastically wrong assumption in Syria.
More than a few nations are ready to jump in to stop and bust the train that started with 1991 Persian Gulf war against Iraq. If needed, war will be brought to the US soil..................something that has not happened since the Civil War (although I might be wrong on this)..................but something that surely did not happen in the 20th century.
100k civilians already perished in Syria, another 1000 in the chemical attack is just a number.............not worth risking a WW3 over. Why can't US wait for Syrian elections in 2014 and let people decide the winner, just like in Egypt.......although it seems that did not work out.

I'm certain Russia won't go to war for Syria or any other country as I said in other comments,
However you're wrong in assuming the objective of US foreign policy is economic prosperity and the interest of the American people / businessesedit on 25-8-2013 by AurelioMaghe because: (no reason given)

I never stated / assumed the objective is economic prosperity... I am pointing out the reasons given were already a mute point since they don't apply.

POLITICALLY both Russia and China are against NWO.

So you can't say "there's trade agreements in the works" as proof they're part of it.

Besides, it is a given factories will move aways from China once the wages get high enough in favour of the next third world cheap sweatshop countries.

I've read Africa is next, even tho I am skeptical about that.
The US does not need boots on the ground. The FSA has managed to take over half country without western military support. A no fly zone and some air support against heavy weapons and Assad is done. And your right lots of nations want to jump in, its just they all want to support the rebels. And about the closest thing your going to see to a war on US soil is watching the terrible remake of Red Dawn. Certain military realities apply here.
