Replicating the Sebia/Kosovo/Iraq/Libya model looks likely. Senators John McCain (R. AR), Joe Lieberman (I. CT), Lindsey Graham (R. SC), and other congressional hawks urge direct intervention regardless of international and constitutional law.

"NATO took military action to save Kosovo in 1999 without formal UN authorization.""There is no reason why the Arab League, or NATO, or a leading coalition within the Friends of Syria contact group, or all of them speaking in unison, could not provide a similar international mandate for military measures to save Syria today."

Military intervention requires Security Council authorization.
US wars need congressional approval. Extrajudicial attacks are lawless.
