"Source:" Trump Considering Retaliatory Options Against Syria for Deadly Chemical Attack

Options.

President Donald Trump has told some members of Congress that he is considering military action in Syria in retaliation for this week's chemical attack, and recognizes the seriousness of the situation, a source familiar with the calls tells CNN.
The source said the President had not firmly decided to go ahead with it but said he was discussing possible actions with Defense Secretary James Mattis.

Trump is relying on the judgment of Mattis, according to the source.

They say the US has the capability of damaging Syria's chemical weapon infrastructure, and it seems like that's at the top of the list as far as "options."
