(CNN) -- Warships armed with cruise missiles plow the waters of the
eastern Mediterranean Sea. Cabinet-level officials hold a National
Security Council meeting at the White House Tuesday night.

.

And U.S. officials all but tell U.N. inspectors in Syria to get out of the
way.

.

For almost two years, President Obama has avoided direct military
involvement in Syria's bloody civil war as the death toll skyrocketed.

.

Now, after a suspected chemical attack last week obliterated the "red
line" Obama set, a flurry of comments and activity seem to be laying the
groundwork for a military strike.

.

Security officials in London will meet Wednesday to hash out options. And
on the ground in Syria, U.N. inspectors aimed to once again comb through
the rubble of a Damascus suburb in search of evidence that chemical
weapons were used in an attack last week that killed more than 1,300
people.

.

But U.S. officials aren't placing much stock in the findings.

.

"We clearly value the U.N.'s work -- we've said that from the beginning --
when it comes to investigating chemical weapons in Syria. But we've
reached a point now where we believe too much time has passed for the
investigation to be credible and that it's clear the security situation
isn't safe for the team in Syria," State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf
said Tuesday.

.

Instead, the U.S. and key allies all agree something ought to be done --
and increasingly that is leaning toward a military solution.
