Forget your commando raids.

To eliminate Syria's chemical weapons capability would require a full scale invasion and thorough search of the country. We're not talking about a single building that can be destroyed by a cruise missile or two.

It is munitions dumps and research facilities and assembly plants, many widely flung and probably no more pinpointed than Saddam's stockpiles were. It ain't like they advertize where they keep all off this stuff.

No this would have to be on the scale of the Iraq war to be successful. Anything less would be just useless posturing.
