President Obama is trying to convince, we have to wait at least until the middle of next week for the final vote, the Congress to support military action against Syria to punish President Bashar Al- Assad for ordering the killing of hundreds of people with toxic gas.

But what will the punishment consist of ? Military targets hit by U.S. missiles? Bombardment of the presidential palace in the style of Assad Regan bombed the palace of Gaddafi? Fixed targets , which could include airfields? For the moment, we know with certainty that the attack will not follow an operation "boots on ground".

The Obama administration has officially accused Assad's army to make use of chemical weapons during the conflict that is raging in Syria for more than two years. Damascus would then passed the "red line" so often mentioned by Obama and would thus have provided the ideal pretext for the U.S. to intervene actively with the supply of weapons to the rebels. The statements by the Deputy National Security Advisor to the White House, Ben Rhodes, of course, have attracted criticism of the other major international actor involved, Russia. Through a tweet, the president of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Duma, Alexiei Pushkov, categorically denied the claims of Rhodes, as well as filing them lies purpose-built  as it was in the past for Iraq.

If we analyze the situation more carefully arise doubts to which it would be appropriate to provide adequate answers. If, on the one hand, Washington points the finger at Damascus, the doubts about the use of chemical weapons in Syria remain enormous.
