i don't think so, javero.
the russians are tied to assad and so are the iranians and to a lesser extent the chinese. even though the us is willing to hand over the wmds there to al qaeda, the russians are smart enough to realize that's suicide...mostly because a lot of the stuff is theirs.
this is not going to end well for the us. the un is going to say at the very least that there is not enough evidence to determine who used the sarin. at worst they will say that evidence shows that the rebels used it. again.
the us will be going in without un cover.
what i see happening is very, very limited strikes on out of the way facilities. followed by obama puffing out his chest and saying, "now you behave, bashar!"
israel will take the brunt of any retaliation - which this admin doesn't mind one bit because, y'know, joooooos!
what will happen, i think, is the rebels overplaying their hand and trying something really outlandish and losing what little international support they had.
