They have the chemical weapons and are using them-- from who, how, why, and when they got them is pretty much irrelevant in regards to deciding whether or not to take action. And from what I gather, the shelling/airstrikes are already paid for. We have the equipment, and the manpower is already on payroll. Any possible extras are covered in the pentagons "break glass in case of war" fund. We wouldn't be invading, we'd be shelling from our warships, carrying out airstrikes, and likely training vetted rebels. There is no nation building.
All conflicts are not the same. This is not Iraq or Afghanistan.
