It's a short hit and git like Desert Fox and similar operations, if Assad bends over and takes his whooping like a good tyrant.
If he resists and fights? Our little venture into international discipline will have started a major war from a situation where direct, flagged forces of another nation hadn't fired shots in anger until we arrived.
I hope nothing happens. This is the area of the world I hope for nothing more .....than nothing happening.

no world war 3.....
any resistance offered by Syria or Iran
will be dealt with with ease.
the US will slap the snot out of them.
the US has massive training and massive tech.
the US is sending a message..there will be no misinterpretation.

If we 'intervene', nothing will be short nor limited.
The US will attempt to knock out the Russian made and manned S-300 batteries in Syria and will kill Russians. Things will get very dicey very quickly between the Eagle and the Bear.
Israel will be attacked and will respond in whatever fashion they deem, irregardless of what the US or any other nation thinks.
When Israel attacks Iran, MOIS sleeper cells in Israel and the US will go active, creating terror attacks in the major cities of New York, Tel Aviv, Washington, D.C., and others.
In response to MOIS attacks, Israel will probably shoot the moon (nukes.) Let's pray that's not the case.
Meanwhile, in the US, as terror attacks and a war with Russia takes it's toll, the American population welcomes UN Security Forces to help 'protect' the homeland.
Game. Set. Match.
*This is just one possible hypothetical scenario. Obviously, none of us know how this is going to go. Personally, they should all (Obama, Assad, Putin, etc.) have a giant beer summit and drink the special Kool-Aid going around... the stuff that makes you go, "Hey, killing people is bad, let's see what feeding and educating them can do!"*

Syrian "war"? What war? If anything this "strike" is looking like it is petering out. May not happen.

Keep your eye on the news. Looking increasingly likely this will be a non-event. Woo hoo!!!

This is all buying time, but in that time wouldn't the rebels be doing something? What about the Syrian Army? If Assad is gone, and i think he has flown town by now, then this is when either the rebels or even the terrorists should be striking but its gotten all sorts of quiet.
