President Obama is weighing a military strike against Syria that would be of limited scope and duration, designed to serve as punishment for Syria’s use of chemical weapons and as a deterrent, while keeping the United States out of deeper involvement in that country’s civil war, according to senior administration officials.

With U.S. officials that President Bashar Assad's regime used chemical weapons on the Syrian people last week, and with U.S. Navy ships moving toward that country's coast, it now seems to be a question of "when" not "whether" America will strike military targets inside that nation.

That was the from , a public policy scholar at the , a Washington, D.C.-based research center.

More senators express support for strike against Syria: Lawmakers of both parties are expressing support for a U.S. military response to the use of chemical weapons in Syria.

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) called the use of the weapons “despicable” and said he’s pleased to hear that the Obama administration is consulting with Congress while considering potential military options.

Earlier Monday, House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) said he had been in touch with the White House as it weighs potential response options and said that he expects the Obama administration to further consult Congress before taking action.

And Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in multiple television interviews Monday that he’s been in touch with the administration and that “I think response is imminent.”

U.S. intelligence officials sought Saturday to determine whether Syria's government unleashed a deadly chemical weapons attack on its people. At the same time, the Obama administration prepared for a possible military response by moving naval forces closer to Syria.

Meeting on the issue Saturday with his national security team, President Barack Obama received a detailed review of the range of options he has requested for the U.S. and its international partners to respond if the fact-finding process concludes that Syrian President Bashar Assad engaged in deadly chemical warfare, the White House said.

At the same time, Obama has emphasized that quick intervention in the years-old Syrian civil war was problematic because of the international considerations that should precede a military strike.

Obama discussed the situation in Syria by telephone with British Prime Minister David Cameron, the White House said. It was Obama's first known conversation with a foreign leader about Syria since the reports this week that hundreds of Syrians had been killed by the alleged chemical attack in a suburb of Damascus, the capital. On Saturday, the international aid group Doctors without Borders said more than 3,000 people were hospitalized in Syria Wednesday with what it called "neuro-toxic" symptoms -- about 355 of them died.
