PNAC SIGNATORY- U.S. Ambassador to NATO Ivo H. Daalder  spells out conditions for ''NATO INTERVENTION IN SYRIA'' http://www.voltairenet.org/Ambassador-Ivo-H-Daalder-spells 

U.S. Ambassador to NATO Ivo H. Daalder drew the lessons prom the Libyan precedent before the Atlantic Council, on 7 November 2011.In the discussion that followed, the first question centered on a possible intervention in Syria. The ambassador then laid down three conditions for achieving this:

 a compelling situation (in Libya, international public opinion was made to believe that Gaddafi was about to raze Benghazi);  regional support (the Gulf Cooperation Council was the first intergovernmental organization to advocate for military intervention. It soon gained the support of the Arab League);  an international mandate (for now, the BRICS countries - including Russia and China which hold veto power at the Security Council - are opposed to it).

Inversely, from this reply it is possible to infer the strategy of the US:  pin on Bashar Assad the intention of razing Homs;  enlist support from the GCC and the Arab League;  put pressure on Russia and China.
