Muscular

A follow up on the Syria post below, especially the link to Kevin Drum. Here's a quote from the LA Times. Bear in mind it's an anonymous official, but it does seem to reflect the thinking behind this stuff.

One U.S. official who has been briefed on the options on Syria said he believed the White House would seek a level of intensity "just muscular enough not to get mocked" but not so devastating that it would prompt a response from Syrian allies Iran and Russia.

"They are looking at what is just enough to mean something, just enough to be more than symbolic," he said.
