Fox News – US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has said that President Obama has asked the military to “prepare options for all contingencies” as the crisis in Syria deepens following reports of a chemical weapons attack by that country’s government earlier this week.
Speaking in Malaysia Sunday, where he was starting a planned one-week tour of Asia, Hagel said that the administration was still weighing whether or not to use military force against the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Among the factors being discussed, Hagel said, were an intelligence assessment of the attack as well as possible international support for a military operation and what he described as legal issues.
