Eclectic:

It is just a red herring. A delaying tactic.
Assad will never allow intrusive enforcement.
And he will insist on lots of conditions.
Perhaps he will request all states stop their aid to the opposition (military or otherwise), and engage the US in confidence building, ie a couple of tons out of Syria every month in exchange for the above mentioned actions. Putin, Iran, and the UN will perceive such actions to be positive and continue supporting a diplomatic solution.
Putin and Assad will twist this into an Assad wins situation. Lots of Sunnis and Kurds will die.
And at the end of the process Assad will still have lots of chemical weapons.

Obama should launch tonight whilst he still has some surprise.
You really have an axe to grind here, almost warmongering. Reflect if you fire on Syria, what do you achieve, if anything, what exit strategy do you have and as I have said before dying by a burst of AK 47, artillery barrage or by Sarin, you just as DEAD. This is an internal, inter-religious factional war, of which I want my country to have NO part.
